I just assume that some people aren't using facebook at the moment but maybe Facebook has decided to not let me see them.Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-86190220266538258002010-10-19T22:06:40.165+02:002010-10-19T22:06:40.165+02:00Steve, I have posted on Facebook antecedents a few...Steve, I have posted on Facebook antecedents a few times and they are trouble - they are straight out of DARPA, for a start.<br /><br />There's been a history of privacy issues and linkages, such as the ones you've mentioned, which are questionable.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-70435899389614307742010-10-19T16:25:06.862+02:002010-10-19T16:25:06.862+02:00I saw this post via Google Reader, which I check d...I saw this post via Google Reader, which I check daily. I hadn't noticed a link on Facebook. However, I don't rely on 'top news' or whatever it's called... I always go immmediately to 'most recent' which gives me, in reverse order, all updates, links, photos etc etc posted by any of my friends, plus any applications I have not yet hidden. I also have all my friends categorised in at least one group, sometimes more - obvious ones such as 'family', for relatives; home educators; Christians; Cyprus friends, and so on (obviously some people are in more than one list). If I'm in a hurry, I then click 'friends' and choose to read just updates by my family, and then - if time - by my Cyprus friends. I may return later to read posts from other people. <br /><br />Out of curiosity, I went to your FB page, and found the link to this post, I went back to my 'most recent' list, and chose 'Christians', and skimmed right down, and still didn't find it. I went back to your page, and noted that it was posted 10 hours ago. I went back to mine and skimmed down again to find posts made 10 hours ago... and discovered what the problem was. You had posted it via a Twitter tweet. I have three other friends who also post tweets. Around 10 hours ago, 14 different tweets were posted by friends of mine... and FB showed me one of them, with the others as 'see more'. When I clicked that, I saw yours included amongst the others. So it was certainly there... but since I tend to ignore tweets (not being a Twitter user) I would not have seen this post if I hadn't subscribed via RSS feed in Google Reader.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835205817921501248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-59045119686237366332010-10-19T08:00:41.960+02:002010-10-19T08:00:41.960+02:00I hardly ever visit the Facebook website any more,...I hardly ever visit the Facebook website any more, since I discovered TweetDeck (http://www.tweetdeck.com/). However, even when I did, I abhorred the "Top News" view, and the very first thing I always did was click "Most Recent", which shows all news from everyone in reverse chronological order.Graham Downshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15294505369808880062noreply@blogger.com
