[Future]

Cannot find many people like the same..
Everyone wants to disguise/hide themselves ?

[tangor]

What little FB I do is rather limited... and (sorry guys) WW doesn't fit in my FB. But I truly do love you all just the same!

FP like buttons on webmasterworld homepage.

[incrediBILL]

FB like buttons on the bottom of THIS page, not just the front page!

WW is my secret weapon.

i like facebook for various reasons but sorry, i'm not associating myself with WebmasterWorld there

I HATE FACEBOOK :(

Sorry, but I seem to have woken up grumpy, this doesn't however detract from the fact that I cannot stand FB. I was round a friends this weekend, and his teenage daughter only looked up from her laptop a couple of times, firstly to say hello when I walked in, then secondly, to eat the food that had gone cold on the table, then FB yabbering was restarted. This went on for at least 5 hours...

I like WebmasterWorld for a reason - a decent repository of knowledge - helpful people, and no malevolence what so ever (that I have ever seen anyway) - though I do like the odd bit of sarcasm (where it's needed!)

Rant over.

Does anyone over the age of 30 actually care about FB? Or do I miss the point.. (This is kind rhetorical, not meaning to be tangential there at all :)) <sigh>

Cheers,
MRb

Isn't Facebook an alias for MySpace? ;)

Facebook is quieter than myspace.

That's about the only difference.

Sounds more like you dislike teenagers, not Facebook, as it's no worse than a cell phone in the wrong pimply hands and it can go very bad. Blame the parents for letting it happen.

>>Sounds more like you dislike teenagers, not Facebook

Nah, definitely FB, though you are right about the mobile phone/texting phenomenon; though I can be guilty of that myself to a certain extent - people don't half hate it when you use queens English when composing messages.

>>Isn't Facebook an alias for MySpace? ;)

There's another vehicle that I really don't get the point of. Gah.

I only have WebmasterWorld listings on my twitter account, and I actually like twitter!

I have a Facebook account. I don't have 40 million "friends" though. I think at last count I had 52 friends and of those 52 I know 50 of them personally.

Facebook for me is an easy way to stay in touch with family and friends. It's an easy way to share photos, let people know what I'm doing. If I want them knowing that, I mean.

I never had a myspace page. Myspace, IMO, was for kids and they were noisy and raucous.

I have three kids, one still at home. My wife has a facebook account and lets me know what my two grown kids, my grandkids, and even my ex-wife are doing. If there are interesting pictures she shows them to me.

If majority of people uptil now, not interested in facebook for commercially or morever to get themselves identified.
why do we have those Fb button ?

Make sure i am talking in "FOO" and not raise a war ;)

There's a competitor in my niche that I believe is using Facebook successfully. I talk to her on occasion by phone, sometimes to try to pry information out of her but she's also fun to talk to. She has a very successful website and has done better with it than I've done with 17 websites. She advertises though. I don't. She uses social media. I don't. I'm still trying to figure out how to do it.

My traffic smokes hers but she's using every angle she can possibly see to hustle sales.

Make sure i am talking in "FOO" and not raise a war

No war will get started by me. I assure you of that.

I just don't know if Facebook is worth the effort. I don't want to have get 5000 friends just to make 3 extra sales a month. That's too much work.

And I've got other things to do.

[rocknbil]

Facebook is indeed good for some businesses, haven't figured out the silver bullet yet but I know of a couple that get lots of strong sales and leads from FB interactions.

For me, it's a bit like a refrigerator. You open it to see if there's anything new or interesting in there to digest. There isn't.

That's part of how she "does it." Being social is not about (just) technology.

re:she's also fun to talk to

And I agree. She does a number of other things that I don't provide. We're in the same niche, affiliate marketing, but she takes things a little further. She provides her own customer support, whereas I let the parent company take care of that. Our products are popular, but they can also be difficult to use if a complete noob purchases one. If they call me on the phone and sound like they have no clue, I'll advise them simply not to buy it. I may offer to do it for them, but I won't sit there on the phone and talk them through it step by step. Nor will I get locked into endless email discussions in an attempt to try to teach someone how to use the product they've purchased

She takes on more projects than I do though. I think she's constantly busy, but I may only do two websites a year. I prefer to let my existing websites work for me.

That way I can sit on the lake longer. ;)
