Facebook Users Could Jump Ship

Facebook’s future as a social networking power has been called into question after a furious reaction to changes to their privacy policy led to speculation that competitors will offer a safer alternative to consumers.

Funding, as well as users, are heading to competitors who claim to give members greater control over their personal data.

Twitter is one such site, climbing from 100 to 10 in the world’s most visited websites in just one year. Many users of our Home IT Support service are members of the microblogging website.

Lee Bryant of Headshift, however, doesn’t think Facebook have reason to panic just yet, saying "Nobody has reached anything like critical mass in the same social platform area - Facebook is like an entire web operating system.”

As a provider of Home IT Support to many home users who use social networking sites, we recommend you study social networking sites’ privacy policies in detail before signing away any personal information.
