to fb or not to fb... that is the ?

andera-

Unfortunately FB, like many concepts related to the internet have two sides. 

If someone is into that whole connecting outside of what Agon stands for- have at it. FB is still, and will always be a generational thing IMO.

Not that it's a bad thing...

A short story: Ten years ago or so, I thought it might be interesting to get an account on this new Facebook thing. So I went to sign up. First question was my name. OK, that's reasonable. Next question was my birth date. They DON'T need to know that, and I entered a date that was somewhat off. Immediately, FB replied that I had not entered my correct birth date and that I must enter the correct date. CREEPY! That's what the "close window" button is for, and I did, and I've never been back. Fewer "friends," perhaps, but more real friends, and fewer worries, for sure.

And now I see that one can log into Agon with FB. The HORROR! Big Brother watching and remembering your every click...

I have never used FB and never will
I think my Daughter in law has filled up a cloud with her FB content My wife just told me that my Daughter in law just posted about the onions she diced for Dinner!!

I have been on FB for 10 years, never had a problem and am very careful as to what I post. I am friends with many audio reviewers, Steven Stone, johnathan Scull, Myles Astor, Mat Weisfeld plus probably 20 others. They always answer my Audio related questions and I have found some of us have mutual interests outside of Audio. It is also the only way I can see my nieces and nephews who live on the other coast grow up before my eyes. That is extremely important to me.


I am not the type to post what I had for breakfast or latest bowel movement like a lot of people do, but with ra very large family (my wife has 9 brothers and sisters) that is scattered all over the world, it is nice to be a part of their lives and they a part of mine

I tried Facebook twice. In the end, it became nothing more than stress, aggravation, and a political platform. I am happy to have found Audiogon.
