Recently Bill posted a series of tweets, here they are...
Here was my response...
People are simply fed up with Facebook..!!
These are not my feelings, these are the feelings of the +500 students I have spoken to recently while handing out flyers for STEEMIT.
Ask anyone in their earlier 20's how they really feel about Facebook and you may find their response shocking.
These last few weeks have been a wake-up call for me and one that if I was involved in Facebook would be extremely worried by.
People are simply fed up with being manipulated, dictated to, conditioned and bullied, and it this that should be setting off alarm bells ringing in existing Corporate Social Media Companies.
Some will say that most people accept this manipulated and conditioned environment, but it is this very same manipulated and conditioned environment that is actually telling them to accept it..!!
Step out of this environment and the reality is very different.
Facebook has dominated Social Media in the last 13 years simply because there was no real alternative, but it is the alternatives that are now showing signs of green-shoots as they come alive..!!
I will be happy to go back to Bill Mitchell and share with him this Blog later.
Feel free to leave any comments below for Bill to see.
Thanks for reading.

That's a great shout, when we see frustrated users of other mediums, opening the door for them onto steemit should be first on the to do list!

Completely agree. Even though the user numbers are as of yet in a different league it is just a question of time.
Already you see facebook mentioning "you haven't posted something for xx weeks" which to me is a clear sign that they have started losing traction already.

Hahahaha xD I see how facebook gets bombarded with restrictions and ads thees days. Its a good platform for a social network on a personal scale, but when you try to make it in a money making machine it will end up in the rubbish bin.
Thia is where steemit kicks in with a great balance.

I honestly never had a facebook account, as i do not believe in it. And even though I never had an account, I think facebook does know a lot about me. I am affraid if I create an account that facebook allready knows who my friends are, what I like to do etc etc. No privacy at all.

Facebook has become too greedy like most corporations and with that customer service flies out the window.
