Wonder who wants to buy those messages

Ps. Yes, I can easily see very nasty reasons to buy private messages!

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685
Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts

The popularity of facebook is going downhill already, Paul - see [1]. Now the youth is using snapchat, instagram etc.
I've never understood the Facebook hype, I think the software sucks - in groups are in my opinion no useful conversations possible. Somebody could expect that there are discussions happening, but I've found not much about fly casting - OK Tobias group - but in my opinion not much activity there. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks Torsten. Interesting link.
I try to avoid FC discussions on FB. It’s impossible to keep track of the discussion or make a long meaningful post. I figure if I’m going to put the time in then it needs to be searchable by everyone on the Net.
Also I’ve moved private discussions from Messenger to WhatsApp. Google and Gmail are also concerning.
Ironically I used to think it was too expensive to hold all that information. Now I realise that’s where the money has moved.
Cheers, Paul

That’s a very good point. I moved over for the encryption. No doubt FB is using all that too. I think it’s very much in breach of any sort of trust!
Cheers, Paul

Seeing your updates on Facebook reminds me to come to Sexyloops to see the latest round of childish behaviour.

PS. I have a flying tank. Your argument is irrelevant.
PSS. How to generate a climbing loop through control of the casting stroke is left as a (considerable) exercise to the reader.

This way I get a double dose of childishness.

Hope I don't get to eat my word some day, but I doubt I have something worth stealing, so no real worries....Lasse Karlsson wrote:Wonder who wants to buy those messages

I recently discovered the joys of blocking people on FB and Whatsapp
It will go away to some degree in the very near future, celebs are hiring companies to manage their social media and everything else mentioned already.Torsten wrote:The popularity of facebook is going downhill already, Paul - see [1]. Now the youth is using snapchat, instagram etc.

If I didn't say it, I'm a bit sick & tired of it, but there is no better way to keep contact with so many people.

2.2 billion active users says Facebook is the most used social media system on the planet. By absolutely miles. No other social media system comes remotely close.
Facebook is going to be around for quite a while yet.
