Social media and Facebook in particular have contributed to killing off many internet forums who have seen their traffic diminish heavily. It's interesting because I have many people tell me (usually older people) that they still feel forums are far superior in terms of information consumption than Facebook is and they hate having to go on social media. Everything posted here can be classified and searched for at any point in the future. Most of the content on social is lost in the jungle within days.
Do why do you guys and girls still continue to frequent forums such as this one? Do you also feel forums are a better place to spend time online? What improvements (if any) do you think forums could implement to reverse the flow of the next generation of people flocking to social media?
My first suggestion would be to make forums much more mobile friendly. Tapatalk is a good start but I find it incredibly confusing and not very intuitive. I wonder if a superior interface could allow an app like Tapatalk to provide meaningful competition to Facebook by truly linking the majority of the forums on the internet. Curious to know what MR thinks.
