If FB suddenly disappeared, I'd lose almost all my good friends and acquaintances. And it would be hard or impossible to find them all again; they're scattered around the globe, mostly FB is the only contact point I've needed/had, dont have their phone, email or address. I should get that info, huh. On FB I almost exclusively just chat with friends.

Never used Twitter or wanted to.

ps Why would the world fall apart if Google disappeared? It's not obvious to me.

Most people don't know how to use the internet without Google.

I'm sure many industries are supported with the likes of "Just Google it"

actually, while you could replace google search with bing or duck duck go, what would really destroy the world is the sudden absence of gmail/google docs/android updates/youtube, all of those things could be replaced, but it would take more time...
