I certainly agree with you, David, Matthias.
I don't like Facebook and their privacy policies, or lack of. It makes the
Government agencies look like rank amateurs when it comes to watching what
we are all doing.
However I certainly understand what Graham is saying when he writes "had
to venture into using it for marketing other aspects etc... just no choice
if you want to keep up with things."
And there are times when I wonder if I will not be obligated to join it
just and only for business purposes. That would be a very bitter pill to
swallow!!!
Anyway we can all band together, protect our privacy, and keep the List
going??
Any comments? anybody?

I always said I would not venture into Facebook but unfortunately it
is where
all the action is and is so easy to use, post pictures to,
share info, personal
message and find new material...see early new
finds and acquire exciting
samples...Also had to venture into using it
for marketing other aspects
etc...just no choice if you want to keep
up with things.
You do need to keep
it in check with privacy settings and try not to
let it take over your life
though.

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.

Hi
Bernd, Tracy, all.
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

Hello Bernd and All,
Maybe 'Social Media Overload'? I have been talking with
several friends
over
the last few months about the dramatic slowdown [from
last two years] which
has many contributing factors, none of which is
purely;
MetList Forum,
Facebook, Twitter or any of the other
outlets of info... almost
a 'Quiet
Before the Storm' effect.
It may be an indication of 'The Market'
and/or
'Supply &
Demand' which has been very tough since 2008 and even more
since
one year ago in 'my' experience and dealings. I should look up
at the
sky
and see if the birds are heading in an odd
direction for this time of
year...
Best Regards,
Greg

Awfully
quiet
... or have I been
dropped?
Hello Tracy, Greg, List,
No,
you
haven't been dropped but the frequency of contributions
has
dropped
considerably. Interestingly, the same phenomenon on
Geoff's CSR forum and even
on our German forum.
Best from
Germany,
Bernd
