Mmm, lovely.<BR/><BR/>Snorky set up a MySpace for the band (once we'd stopped gigging!) then dumped it on me to admin. So now we're gigging again he's set up a Facebook, which he's admining and which seems useful for a band, from what he reports at board meetings. I don't even want a membership to take a look, though.M.C.

There will always be another new social site to explore, but flickr was the first and is still the best in my eyes.Stefan Janssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311628.post-21703038889826320722009-03-23T15:18:00.000-07:002009-03-23T15:18:00.000-07:00Even though I have a Facebook account I don't use ...Even though I have a Facebook account I don't use it much. I did alter the privacy settings so that nobody could write on my wall, which means if anyone wants to tell you something, they have to use the option to send you a message instead (which then gets sent by email).<BR/><BR/>I probably disabled just about every other feature while I was there. In fact, the only things left really are the ability to find me and send me a message.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311628.post-66925090702586950222009-03-23T14:28:00.000-07:002009-03-23T14:28:00.000-07:00I see this all as an experiment - Flickr, Facebook...I see this all as an experiment - Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, weblogs ... whatever. Try out a lot of things, then later trim out the less useful.<BR/><BR/>Oh heck - out of curiosity, I've played with pretty much everything that came along. Once email, uu-news, ntalk, and IRC were new. Kept email, uu-news is replaced by feed readers, ... and now we have all these other new things. <BR/><BR/>Facebook and Twitter ... fun sometimes, but a little too ... something.<BR/><BR/>Flickr was a fun way to find interesting, quirky folk - but go back to old pictures, and you find comment streams scarred by dead identities, and gunked up with junk comments. (Don't get my started on the twinkly animated images transplanted from MySpace.) Is this good, bad, or ... dunno.<BR/><BR/>Both Flickr and Facebook annoy users when they assert ownership (or censorship). Seems like these conversations in cyberspace should belong to the participants, first. <BR/><BR/>Eh. Rambling....Preston L.

I also don't understand FB. How do they make money? What do they do with all that information?? Gives me the willies. I love Flickr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
