Is Facebook killing Beoworld?

37 replies

Firstly, I do not use Facebook, having seen too many relatives and acquaintances confess to posting too much and then finding some difficulty in removing stuff entirely afterwards.

Having said that I am aware that many who once posted very regularly on Beoworld now do so infrequently but do post and remain in contact through Facebook. Is it possible that Facebook and similar sites are indirectly killing the likes of Beoworld?

Facebook is the last thing I use to communicate, except for the off poke here and there.

I know I haven't been posting like I used to because I have become so insanely busy with school, racing, work, etc. Its been a long time since I've had the time to re-cap an amp.

I'm an automotive audio and acoustic engineer. I design loudspeakers and full sound systems for new automobiles. I also dabble with studio, consumer and pro audio projects from time to time.
Actually Facebook app on iOS is pretty slow and is one of the reason why I don't use it

Beoworld app for me any day; could be improved of course but that's for another day

Face what? 😁

Perhaps my children (18 and 19X2) have a clue, Il'll ask them. 😕

Have never and will never use it.

No, I don't think so at all.  Our visitor numbers have remained at pretty much a constant (albeit steady) upward trend since we launched.  Yes, we have peaks and troughs depending on the season, weather etc - but we're good, really!

What we do see slightly more of though is people visiting and reading rather than visiting and actually posting.  This again comes in peaks and troughs, and posting usually peaks when new products are launched.  We all get tired of talking about the same old things and subjects run out of steam.  We're a B&O enthusiasts site, so we're kind of tied in to the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the company itself.

I don't think BeoWorld can kill Facebook, but neither can Facebook kill BeoWorld.  Is that called a Danish Mexican stand-off?  Soren may be able to advise...

I don't think so, too.

Posting on BeoWorld lets you focus on what is going on with the many aspects of the B&O-world

We have the possibility to dig deeper on the forum.

What might change is the way people post - maybe the postings are getting more 'facebooky' over time.

Those of us, who use Facebook should be aware of that, when posting.

Same here, and that goes double for Twitter.
