The boy needs Facebook ..? (17-Aug-2015)
1. Do I? I don't know. I've kinda boycotted Facebook
(perhaps kinda like "Rip Van Winkle") because (off the top of my head):
* Its too popular.
* Mark Zuckerberg makes tons while I get to be nothing.
* I'd rather separate the clergy from the laity ..
(people who are prepared and not prepared to accept etiquette).
2. On the other hand, the creation of this web-site may just be like re-inventing Facebook all-over, anyway. How is that? This web-site is:
* A blog people can "tune-in" to.
* An opportunity for on-line chat.
* Accepting etiquette is just a matter of friend / unfriend.
* Any once I've got those and are happy by those means, I might as well not care, and just use Facebook.
3. Counter arguments?:
* Some of us could use the BBS-like framework or model and create some "World BBS List" web-page for city-local BBS's for people who are prepared to create them separate from Facebook, MySpace or any of that kind of a system.
* I see on http://www.pouet.net/boards.php some have gone back to the "classical" BBS model.
* "Elite" clergy means you get to seem special.
* A BBS list is fun to explore and anticipate, like a lucky-dip. A lot can be said for waiting and anticipation here / there.
* You get to form city-local relationships and friends. And hang-out and forget to go to "Hot Shots! Part Deux" with them.
