Something that parents do but their kids are off doing other things online (sending abusive tweets, cyber-bullying, posting inappropriate messages .........) I see the appeal of it if you've moved abroad or want to keep in touch with friends and family abroad etc but that's about it. Or if you want to publicise your business, band, book etc (though even then I'm not how much people care). Do you want to "follow" your local plumbing merchant? But 99.9% is just utter tosh. "Eating a cheese and pickle sandwich" or "Goin out ltr goin 2 get smashed". Etc etc <br /><br />You either set everything to private so you only let people you know closely become your "friend". Which then begs the question "why bother?" if you're already in close contact with these people anyway? Or you go public and let every random friend of a friend or your boss's wife' aunt become "friends" with you and you leave your whole life open for public consumption.<br /><br />I really enjoy reading fishing blogs like yours but do I want to know what you had for tea or what you think of the Strictly Come Dancing? Do I want to see photos of your family holiday? Not really. But it seems that billions do..................<br /><br />And I don't like the idea of myself being a "product" where every key stroke is scanned and my details sold off to contribute to the billions of dollars in advertising for Silicon Valley tech giants whilst I get nothing in return. But hey, maybe I'm just old-fashioned.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558987905791642824.post-32484837168049993632014-01-11T17:35:19.066+00:002014-01-11T17:35:19.066+00:00I know Monty, i feel a little dirty because of it....I know Monty, i feel a little dirty because of it.
