Sweet Pete Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Maybe this will. Ask yourself, in the pre-digital age, would you have given the entire world access to every picture you took? If you matter to people, and they matter to you, you will keep in touch. You know, talk, call, email, text*- that kind of thing. None totally "secure", but that's life. Social marketing? Totally unnecessary, imho. And no, that's not a typo. Facebook, while potentially useful, has long since become a forum for self promotion, ego stroking, and wrong'uns of various varieties. * Even write occasionally, with property printed photos sometimes. Really make someone's day now and again. Answer me this; What if you send out a letter to your great uncle Walt of you and your family having a swim and then discover 6 months later that great uncle Walt was photocopying your pictures and distributing them amongst BEASTs? My point is that you cannot control what people do with the media you provide them with, you can only control who has access to it, and I was under the impression, until this afternoon, that only people I trust and know had access to that media. Much like a letter enclosing a photo, you trust that only someone you know and trust will see it and that their intentions will be honourable, but the second you click "upload" or drop it in the post box or hand it to them, you lose control of the image and cannot then know what it is being used for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Facebook took down a picture of my arse once. I understood their jealousy, but I've never quite forgiven them for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Answer me this; What if you send out a letter to your great uncle Walt of you and your family having a swim and then discover 6 months later that great uncle Walt was photocopying your pictures and distributing them amongst BEASTs? That would have been possible, but very unusual. With Facebook you share happy family photos with your quite undepraved Auntie Matilda, she goes ooooh, and shares them with her friend Rose, who goes ooooh and shares them with great Uncle Walt and his evil nest of Beasts. All in seconds and without a thought between them. Apart from Walt. Don't trust him, ever. Edited September 26, 2014 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 What if you are though and the rest is one big elaborate Truman show style hoax? Even before I saw that film (which was underwhelming and could have done so much more with the concept, imo) I occasionally worried that people could see my movements or hear my inner monologue. On an unrelated note, is anyone else's government brain chip sensitive to static radio waves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 They had obviously mistaken it for your face. In the past, I have been complimented on my lovely wide smile. This puts a very different slant on things So Facebook do widescreen.... ^^^ me, yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 What's the difference between Bing Crosby and Uncle Walt Disney? Bing respects the accepted societal norms regarding sexual behaviour in the presence of minors. Mmm, not quite as catchy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreElgin Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Great band. Have they released a new album? I'm not even prepared to joke about this. When I had a go at one of my pals about this he said "ah but it looks cool so it's alright" How does driving with your fog lamps on in the middle of the day look cool, f**k off you twats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I've been struggling with a knee injury for a few weeks but kept going as it never felt that bad, but after my game today I'm struggling to sleep because of the discomfort. Time to admit defeat and go see a physio, should probably have done that 4 weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
