I recently mentioned that the Curmudgeon Societé Executive Council asked me to look into this Facebook thing. So I set up an account, got friended - mostly by the very friends and family I see in person or talk to reasonably often.
I would publish the Repor and such, but let's be honest - I don't need to take the time to publish it in two places, so that got old pretty quick. And I then simply lost interest.
So tonight I tried to cancel my account. They put you through hell to do that. They don't want to loose a very lucrative source of targeted advertising, built through your restaurant, store, product, etc. "likes" that companies wet their pants over.
It took 5 minutes to set up my acount last month - an hour and a half to figure out how to close it.
Will not be recommending it to the Council. I mean, a bunch of curmudgeons on a Social Network? Not bloody likely.
