Many of my FB friends belong to a pro-Steemit group on FB. My experience here on steemit, with its blog flavor, has lead to me having a much greater insight into those same users which had been my friends on FB for a couple of years now.

If that is the direction that FB wants to go then good luck to them. There is little they could do to pull me away from steemit, however it may be a better environment for those that remain.
