Right now I am working as some kind of developer/marketing/communication 5 legged unicorn and Facebook-based PR is the go-to strategy for everything and anything. I also hear some organisations thinking out loud about completely ditching their websites in favour of Facebook/Twitter presence. (tourism sector)

#4I treat everything I do on Facebook as public and permanent information. With that mindset the experience is rather pleasant.

#5I think about it as a simple Message and Event's calendar that my friends have access to me once per week when I look at it.
Also occasionally use it as a login systems for sites I don't want to sign up to.
What else does it do? I unfollowed everyone/thing from my wall ... which seems to improve it somewhat!

I still use Messenger, but my Facebook account is deactivated. I finally gave up after clicking "Hide all from..." for the 10,000th time. It seemed like an increasingly losing battle. The more I unfollowed, the more it showed me things I didn't want to see, and more ads! My entire interaction had devolved into scrolling slowing and clicking "Hide all..."
So tell me how you got your feed to stop being full of bad things? :)

There are extensions that will eradicate the feed for you.

It's madness. And only works because the train is already rolling and most people are blind of what FB is doing behind the curtains.
Twitter is actually OK in my opinion as it is obviously a more PR like channel by design. (Also Instagram for showcasing new products etc.)
I think that FB sites are a poor substitute for well designed unique websites with depth and relevant information.
The question is how to get viewers or subscribers. But since FB started out as a "personal/friends" service I think that ads and PR will soon be perceived as spam. When people start waking up that is.

That said, WhatsApp is a pretty good secure messaging app even though they got bought by Facebook.

What exactly is their "strategy" besides just posting every single PR news piece on their FB feed?
Or am I just naive in believing it's something sophisticated?
