I recently started a Facebook page.  If you are unfamiliar with Facebook, take a look. I've been wanting my own website for a long time to post flying picture, but never got around to it.  Facebook gives me quite a bit of space to do that.  Here is a link to the photos:

If you have a facebook page, feel free to add me as a friend.

The person publishing the photos in their Facebook album can choose to make them public, so that anyone who is interested doesn't have to join to see them.  I do it all the time for my family.

 I dont know who posted this but I understand that  Facebook is quite `the thing`.

  

 Now we have all sat bored stiff while someone  projects there holiday pictures at a dinner party so  why ,why,why has  this now  grown to such an extent that any  anonymous person with a  massive ego thinks that  an out of focus picture of  Little Johnny  falling over in the snow is so fascinating that the whole world wants to see  it.

  

 It seems to me that it is an extension of the  sugary, sick making Christmas Bulletins that some families send out to keep you  up to date with the fact that a neice or nephew whom you have never met has got  their Phd at the age of ten or their second cousin twice removed has  kept twelve people alive on a mountain top when their plane crashed by feeding  them a soup made from her own blood.

  

 Specialist things for a specialist audience, like  our member who gives instruction on improving Kolbs etc or like the stuff from  Big Lar with a commentary about things which most of us will never do,  accomompanied by first class,professional pictures are a different kettle of  fish. Long may they continue.

  

 I dont suppose anything I say will make the  slightest bit of difference but I just felt like a good rant. I feel better  now.

  

 Cheers

Pat --



The main difference is, it's not forced on you.  Someone gives you a link, says it's pictures of Little Johnny, and, well, you don't have to go look.  But others who like Little Johnny may want to see it.  That's why having a place to put an album of photos like Facebook, is a good thing for -everyone-...   Or would you rather they embedded the photos of Little Johnny in your email where you have to download them?

 

I think you win the curmudgeon title!

 Hi Robert,

  

 I am more interested in the ego which is under the  impression that anyone else is the slightest bit interest. As I said it is an  extension of the host who is convinced that you are reely, reely dying to see  his holiday snaps.

 If I want to see a picture of little Johnny I will  phone his father and ask him to send me one. Personally I hope the little  blighter breaks his neck.

  

 Cheers

That's a good one. Thanks for the imagery. It made my day.

But Facebook?  If you simply want to share photos online, use a simple 

photo hosting site like Photobucket, without all the overhead and 

teenyboppers on Facebook... and nobody has to join just to see the pictures.

I believe this thread started with Roger making his flying pictures available to others on this list without overloading their limited ability to view them. I assure you that it is very unlikely that you will ever see the areas or scenery that he made available for you to view, assuming that you wanted to view them of course. You need to get a sun lamp, the English weather has apparently soured your oatmeal, or what ever British curmudgeons eat. Larry C, Oregon - a bit cranky myself!

Granted.  However, if you're already on Facebook, and your friends are on Facebook, then it's not a -terrible- place to put them, and you can make the photos public, too.  Differ'nt' strokes for differ'n't folks.

 

MySpace is primarily teenyboppers, but Facebook has an amazing following of adults as well as college kids.  I got on it initially to keep track of my college kids.  I'm glad I did, because, without it, I'd rarely hear from them... with Facebook, I can see what they are up to, without being intrusive and bugging them all the time.  Plus, they can see when I'm flying via the status...!  (See, I got a Kolb-related element in there!)

Let me try this again.  I'm still learning this facebook thing. 



http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2003527&l=edb22&id=1174278290



Sorry the first one didn't allow non Facebook members to see them.  I have removed all annoying pictures of little Johnny.
