But how many people are still exchanging facebook contacts? Because I haven't met anyone anymore ...
A significant point would be that I'll just find you when I get home if I cared enough about our interaction.
Good point! I suspect it's a lot more than we think. My parents are definitively still involved in doing this.
But on the other hand, does exchanging contacts mean anything to Facebook anymore? I don't think that's important to their income stream anymore. If the OP meant "these sites are still going strong but aren't what they were when they began", then of course I agree.
I was never much into the Facebook thing because I didn't join it at its peak, but when already most people I would have connected stopped using it.
But I remember there was a time where when you met someone and wanted to stay in contact you exchanged the facebook info.
Nowdays its Line.
I don't think I have any social media I ask for when I meet someone besides their number (and hopefully they are using Signal 😎)
Signal is the way to go :)
Isn't like a Japanese thing? I only have heard about it in anime.
Japan, and larger Asian area, I think Korea, Taiwan too.
