Facebook....so I don't look like a dinosaur

[Chris Perkins]

So that I don't look too much like a 30 something dinosaur I've created a facebadger page for predecimal.com

There's nothing there yet and to be honest I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with it or if it will be a permanent thing.

To encourage me, please 'like' it!

Facebook

There are also 'like' links from the home page and from the left hand pane of every (non forum) page. It will at least be a more 'live' extension of the email newsletters and may be inspiration for me to do and try new things. Push the boundaries of coin websites!

Ditto, I bet you're amazed that an old fart like me even had a Facebook page!

[Rob]

I'm glad to say that my computer doesn't know how to find or use facebook. Thankfully there is minimal photographic evidence available of me doing things that I would later regret.

Ditto and when it does find it by accident it offers the choice of logging in or joining at which point the back key becomes extremely useful.

ditto the ditto and the other ditto

i joined facebook when it first started......got hit by spam big time, i think the spam issue is resolved now. also got fed up with 12 year old kids wanting to be friends......i shut it down

[Chris Perkins]

I can understand that. You don't want 12 year old friends when you're already 14

I think that unless you go barmy adding all the 3rd party apps (many of which can be malicious) then you're generally alright. Every couple of months someone in a 3rd world country wants to be friends, but that's improved too.

I now have eleven 'likes', including me!

It may be one of those things that goes viral and tomorrow I'll have 30,000 likes!

[ski]

well 30.000 likes will be good, if their all coin collectors

P.S...............i can nearly remember 14

My kids set me up and I had a few unwelcome hits...I don't tend to view it and prefer the phone.

Problem I have with Facebook, is that I discovered it, charged in with best intentions, and was hit with a hail of bullets from every woman I've ever had liasons with. Ex wives, girlfriends, jilted office shags, I was murdered.

I'd rather go to York and die slowly.

And you're complaining?! I can count my bullets on 2 fingers.

I tried complaining.

Seems to be a refuge for the exceedingly banal most of the time. I joined it to see what colleagues were saying about whom, in their spare time. I figured if I was there and showing my face regularly, they couldn't say too much about me

Interesting. My experience is different. I'm in touch with a childhood friend, a former classmate, a former lover, family and friends too far away to get to see, and sundry people I've met there, all into 70s music, and politics, etc. I find that little community is vibrant (I said VIBRANT - wash your ears out) and full of stuff to join in with.

I've added my like Chris.

I created a facebook profile for CoinsGB.com awhile ago. If anyone wants to add me as a friend:

Reminds me of the old Benny Hill sketch of an Englishman going into a German/Dutch grocer's store which went something like this;

'FUNEX?'

'SVFX'

'FUNEM?'

'SVFM'

I think you really needed to be there.

The british can made thier own social site.

google and british historian did make a site that cater for historical search engine.

And british did release manuscrit in the web.

And there are some programs that show the reenacment of past battles and war in britain and there is a 3d software that british capturing what its like in the past in clothes to archeticture sometimes using them to make a model of a building,

And there is a google ancient map.

In other countries there are loads of computer or web cafe that cater to costumer moslty teenager or highschool for games,if they want to play just like other social site on its added feature addition of historical facts is better playing but also learning.

And they do keep upgade there computer just to make it more effective or faster

Just a comment.
