Hi Dan, As of this morning Bloomberg West (TV) said that there
are 800,000,000 monthly users of Facebook. It would be some low level of
insanity to let that large a group pass us by without at least trying to get
their attention on social media. Like it or not, it's here to stay for a good
long while. I have my misgivings as far as my personal privacy is concerned,
but getting publicized as a useful entity is exactly what we want for ooRexx.
Let's move forward on social media.
John T. :-)

Subject: Re: [Oorexx-devel] Looking Forwards...
Come on, guys! Facebook, Twitter, and the other “social networking” sites are
simply a waste of Internet bandwidth, doing a job that does not need doing.
Social networking is nothing more than a teen-agers’ replacement for party-line
telephones and a gold mine for market analysis. The whole “social” phenomenon
is a pernicious disease that should be stamped out. We don’t need to “come
together”; we need to get back to work and stop wasting time. From: John

Subject: Re: [Oorexx-devel] Looking Forwards... Mike, I am already
on Facebook and I am stingy about what private info I will share and with whom
I will share it. However, we fogies have to realize that we should use Facebook
in all possible ways. After all, they are using us as retail data resources. We
can do the same to them. There are levels of sharing that can be utilized to
our advantage. And AFAIK currently, we can still shade search engines to
display our product higher up in the food chain. We just need to know how to do
it. The person I will ask about this is my son, John, who has worked as a web
developer in the recent past and has manipulated search engines. I will let
everyone know what he says about the latest results.
