I'll have to agree with Greg. The French Forum is rather quiet too, except for our "Name that Meteorite" game. Certainly Social Media Overload.
There are still people talking but there is nothing really new to talk about, no new Fall, no new discoveries. So a bit of peace and quiet. Anne M.

Most of my meteorite related chat now occurs via Facebook and this is what i observe from many others too. Numerous people within our meteorite community who were regular posters here on the metlist i now see posting daily in the various facebook groups and forums. I know it's not for everyone but i for one would certainly feel as if i was missing out on the latest meteorite news and chat if I were not on Facebook. I have done quite a few posts over the last year where i have submitted the same post via various different forums and plarforms to try and see which generated the most conversation and i have to say Facebook won by huge margins every single time. Hope to see you on there maybe Bernd? Your experience and knowledge would be hugely beneficial to everyone there :-) Kind regards Martin On 29 April 2015 at 21:02, Greg Hupé <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Bernd and All, > > Maybe 'Social Media Overload'?
