What happened at your workbench today?

Yep, Facebook, don't see the point for anything serious.

My two big gripes are that things disappear, away into the blogosphere, so returning back to anything is a nightmare - a big no-no for online retail.

Secondly, on feeds where I have put a potentially controversial comment (in accordance with my beliefs) and the topic has had a lot of comments, I find it nearly impossible to get back down to reply to someone who has responded to my comment amongst the other few hundred comments which are squeezed out by the original picture.

It's not a helpful platform and I think it's instantaneous appeal - here today, gone tomorrow - actually feeds the anger and vituperative comments.

Precisely. I also have my own beliefs, and will post something on FB about them. Any feedback is quick and short lived. Onto the next subject.....:wondering:

Agree with all you say Rhino. It appears as if developed for the short minded as anyone who may have watched the film ‘the social notwork’ will appreciate. I would certainly not use it to sell anything as to my mind there appears to be no protection for either sellers or buyers, though I am open to correction on that view. But then many use it big time so we may be in the minority over our views. I hate it.
