The downturn in Facebook’s traffic coincides with the introduction of advertising into the platform. This turns off people who want to use this for personal not commercial reasons. Myspace is the classic. They sold advertising and created a place for bands to hawk themselves. All Myspace is now is bands, spamming other bands. Ordinary users are turned right off.

Sadly no one can operate a massive site like Facebook or Myspace for free so I’m not sure what the solution is. Constantly moving I guess which is kind of the way the web works anyway.
