Guest Brett Campany Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've recently come off Facebook due to work and a few other issues. Try not to put to much on there as it can be a little detrimental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brett Campany Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hey Brett care to expand a little on that? (without being nosey) I'm very cautious about facebook use it to keep up with pics & happenings of the 2 little grandsons and that's about it.Cheers Dexter Yeah it seemed that management was watching over my Facebook. I've been told that I put to much focus on things outside of work.... I don't know how they came up with that. Plus several friends and family didn't want their photos up on my Facebook page. On top of all of that, I was getting fed up with various applications and spam emails from Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winsor68 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Welcome to the digital age! That is the reality of the internet...once you or your information is digitalized it is there for ever...it is just the reality of the world we now live in...Watch for a major shake up in the whole idea of copyright/ownership in the next few years...the ways of the past are becoming just that.

Tracktop Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Family Tree sites are similar - you can pay big annual $ for access , they encourage you to put your research up - then they own it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest basscheffers Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It doesn't have to be this way! See the thread about the monthly competition where I brought it to Slarti's attention. There are good alternatives and I am sure he'll do the right thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
