Is Facebook A Waste Of Time?

How Do I Know Who Reads Or Views My Facebook Postings?

I am not new to social media. I started web sites and blogs a long time ago. All this from scratch. Basically, starting to set-up my own Web Server, picking and choosing the back end that worked for me, the having it hosted.

Obviously, the front end had to look good. Examples JJMacey.Net and JJMacey.Net/Blog. But, I drove this with the back end, and can follow who sees / reads me with Google Analytics.

Are we being driven to pure ads when we look at a Facebook page?

Simple minds want to know.
