Facebook: Networks to be Discontinued
After just randomly checking through Facebook it has come to my attention that they are going to discontinue networks. That somewhat struct me as odd as they were a valuable way to connect with fellow students at University as well as people in the area. After a quick search there was no success in finding out the reason why it actually was to be discontinued.
The displayed message:
Network Pages will be discontinued soon
Facebook will soon be removing Network Pages from the site. Please keep this in mind when communicating with others on the Wall and on the discussion board. You can use Groups to connect with the people around you.
Having to resort back to just using groups is a mistake in my opinion but I guess the administrators think thats the right thing to do as they actually chose to do so.
I did though notice that a while back Facebook removed the networks link from the top area of the page. I guess by that then, this has been something that has been coming for a while now. I wonder how long it’ll be before it disappears.
