Does anyone know how to use Facebook?
After they deleted my old account I'd had for fifteen years.
Because I was using my artist pseudonym, not my real name.
I didn't have a facebook page for a good while. But so I can keep in touch with family and lifelong friends in other cities, I eventually did set another one up.
Well I noticed today that now I don't see folks posting the cat pics, or the farmville requests, or the "whats on their minds" etc...like it used to be.
Now all I see on the timeline is what I posted. Like it's a blog, not "social media".

No Facebook for me.
People already know too much.

I believe once you set up a new account you have to start over with friends and rebuild your new page from scratch.
I had an account years ago, not my thing. Got tired of people posting pictures of what they were eating, and pinging me to be friends, when I had no clue who they were.
I wish there was a free alternative to use...but Glen's gotta make a buck too I guess.

Hmm... What's wrong with e-mail. It has work great for me for over 20 years.
One socialist-hating media is enough for me, thank you.
:rolleyes:
I have it. With our summer parties and river antics in the spring it's just way easier to blast info to 100 + people.
If you have been gone over 6 months yes, everything has to be reset. Its basically the same as it ever was. I am hacking away at my friends list. People are getting upset. I pretty much don't care. I have the group for all things river and I have the NASCAR group,
Anything else has become "meh"
