The idea of switching this email list to Facebook has been mooted. I am
a member of several Facebook groups. I find the presentation, and the
ease of inclusion of photographs, seductively attractive. But, in my
view, Facebook has disadvantages which render it unsuitable for this group.
* I find the order of posts extremely confusing.
* Once posts have receded into the past, it becomes more and more
difficult to find them. This negates part of the purpose of this group,
which is to serve as an archive regarding Czernowitz.
* What is the situation regarding copyright and intellectual property?
I have not read the small print, but I would not be surprised to find
that all the content belongs to Facebook.
* In which case, it is not impossible that the whole archive might
disappear at any time.
Best wishes to all,
David
