Facebook adds video search to combat original content sharing decline
&gt; While people are sharing plenty of news, they’re posting less photos and status updates about their own lives.<p>Facebook seems to have become this battleground for status. People post to Facebook when they :<p>a) are travelling to some exotic or foreign locations<p>b) got admissions to prestigious schools or got amazing jobs<p>c) had a pretty picture of themselves taken<p>d) are outraged by some social injustice<p>etc<p>When I meet past friends who are going through a slump in their life I am reminded how little I know what is happening to them. They would have stopped posting to Facebook a long  time ago. The site offers less human connection these days.
