Bingo. Well said.ksinger|1295007130|2822572 said:About FB.
Facebook is exactly as creepy, clique-ish, and/or invasive as you let it be. Like most areas of life, you take your own issues to it - or not. It doesn't create them.
Really? Mine's fine. Although it does go on the blink every now and then. Especially the chat. Try it later.Jennifer W|1295007708|2822576 said:Um, we appear to have broken FB anyway. It doesn't work this morning.![]()
Exactly why almost every business has a FB page. DUH, it would be kind of stupid not to set up a FREE facebook page and advertise to 500 million people. Not sure why it is shocking to see people advertise on there?kenny|1294969451|2822284 said:fiery|1294957268|2822073 said:Facebook. Serious business.

Coming late to the discussion but I wanted to post an answer to this.ForteKitty|1294939970|2821703 said:i'm curious. why do you "friend" vendors? my list only consists of people i'm actually friends with.

Swearing for most is a definitive item. Most people would not call crap a swear word. I think most anyone can agree on a "swear" word.
My issue with you specifically in this instance is that you left FB because you got irritated with what you assigned to be "advertising". Let's even say hypothetically that I agree with you that it was (which I don't but for the sake of argument...).
My issue is that you advertised yourself. You left a group because someone else advertised. And you did the same thing.
To use your example above, that's like other people swearing and you asking them to "effing" stop.
In the words of Frank Langella from one of my favorite movies, Eddie:
"Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you."

Many of my clients friend me on my personal page and also become fans on my fan page. Most of my clients also become my friends, so it is not uncommon that people would friend their vendors as well as their "normal" friends.
Just my thoughts.

I'm sorry that you don't like the way the vendors advertise on FB, but diamond vendors aren't the only ones who do it.

I was at a meeting yesterday where it was discussed that Ford spends $1,000,000 per month advertising on FB. Why would they do that?
There is only one possible answer.
It works.

is that where they gossip now?...Imdanny|1294992907|2822531 said:Ok, Kenny, I'm not reading this whole thread, so forgive me if you've changed your mind about FB between the first page and the last, but I want to give my thoughts about FB.
It seems like EVERY posting board these days has a DOUBLE. Everyone posts at X forum AND at FB.
To me, that adds a whole bunch of cliques and gossip, and I never wanted to join FB to be in any PS group (or any other).
One of my best friends texted me and asked me if I was on FB. I said nope. A week later he texted me and asked me if I was on FB.
The second time I just ignored his text (and I'm talking about someone I've known since I was 3).
I know a lot of people like FB and that's fine, of course. I have no patience for it myself.

I simply tried to inject a little humor into a dry day.
So sorry if it bothered you.
After being attacked...maybe 1000 times by someone who claimed to have complete tolerance for anything but intolerance, I think I might be allowed a little leeway.
But of course, to each his own.
