Anti-Facebook viral anthem set to take web by storm

The backlash against Facebook appears to be growing if this humorous viral is anything to go by.

It lists all of the reasons why the social networking site has becoming so annoying, and looks set to take the web by storm.

It has been produced by Rebel Virals, the joint venture between Aspect Film and integrated agency Mason Zimbler, to promote the agency on the back of the current climate of anti-application angst.

It follows the report last week that Facebook suffered a decline in unique users in the UK for the first time since July 2006, falling 5% to 8.5m users in January, although the social networking site remains the most popular in the UK according to Nielsen.

Looking at the subject online highlights the fact that it will be specialist social networking sites that are the future, or part of it, along with generic sites with Facebook. This piece simply further articulates how we're all quickly falling out of love with this particular side of social networking and moving on.

That said, Facebook isn't going anywhere, but while many people have shut their accounts, most will keep them going, but visit less frequently.
