> While I may not have children, I have close friends who do and family that does. So what? I communicate with them just fine and share bday photos like everyone else without a problem and without being tied to facebook.
How does everyone else do this? How do people get both sets of grandparents checking the same photo sharing site where mom can take pictures at the playground and share instantly? What photo site is easy enough that the grandparents can snap photos on their smartphone (that they barely know how to use) that lets them easily upload them?
> It is not the only means of communication or file sharing.
Of course not. The network effect makes it easy to push the last few missing family members onto it for a narrow purpose.
> If you have a problem with annoying photo's without facebook, then may I suggest telling those involved with sending you too much info/photo's to maybe limit it a bit?
I would never tell new parents that. Luckily, some forms of sharing are easy to rate limit.
> For such a "social network" people have trouble communicating with each other, it seems
That's just it. Email isn't really a social network.
