Welcome to the September 27, 2014 Post Game Show for Mojo Friday!
Facebook? I'm not on Facebook, although I did open an account years ago. But who's got the time?
Between work, spouse, house, kids, church, keeping up on DailyKOS and news in general, and the important things in life (golf and reading!), I haven't the time nor desire to get on Facebook.
I certainly don't want to be making use of a social media site that engages in manipulation of its users. Remember this, for example?
Or what's the value of a place that can decide your breast feeding pic is obscene, but happily post pics of people tasing and shooting others? Or ban people because of their sexual orientation? Who the hell are they to judge? What about those who don't want to use their real name online? Especially if they're worried about a stalker? Facebook ad tracking is also more pernicious, since they can tie it your real name ... great for advertisers and marketeers, crap for those of us who don't want to invite them into our lives!
And what's with this "LIKE" crap, anyways? If it's my page, who gives a damn if you like it or not? Or how many LIKEs I have? My ego is big enough without being inflated by others, whether they meant to or not! Makes me wish I could have some replies to post by others ... things that say "PISS OFF!" or "YOU JACKASS" or whatever! don't you?
It isn't 'cause I'm a technology luddite. Mrs. bjedward would argue the contrary I must confess. It's not cause I don't like being on-line (I'm on-line full time at work, and always checking on mail and news on my iPad and iPhone when I'm not). Been working with computers since '70, was on the internet when it was DarpaNet. Remember when Mosaic came out. And X-Windows. And Windows 3.1. And the first Macintosh.
I just don't want to spend more time online with one more app. Especially with the nut jobs out there.
We get email from one of them ... a elderly family friend of my wife's. Who got seriously annoyed when I replied once to stop sending us her bigoted and rascist emails, after one of the worse ones came through and it popped up in my email by accident.
Enough of my ranting.
Our survey below will ask about your Facebook status and how often you're there. Let us know!
And now for the fun!
