    Because you can't make a thread saying:

    OMG all some people want to do is bring you down.

    where someone replies:

    What's wrong?

    And you say:

    Don't want to talk about it here.

    If you do that a boards mod will lock the thread and ban you. Which is a good thing of course.
    Yes, but on social networking sites you can identify and ignore that person both online and in person forever.

    That, my friend, is greater than any "ban" you can be handed on vbulletin software.

    No I'm not bothered expanding on it, if you believe that you're socially networking when you're making anonymous comments on a discussion forum then you've to get out of the house more.

    I can see you're *trying* to get a point together here, but it kind of falls flat on its face when the realities of how quick people can type are brought into the equation. If you average a post at 30 seconds, that's 13 minutes of active participation on the site, for 5 days. Thus, the point you're grasping at is fairly fecking weak.

    No, not really.

    A social network account is attached to a person, or even a company, but lets just say an actual entity. A user created discussion board account is attached to nothing. Dicking about on a social network reflects on an actual real life entity, be it company or person, and will stick with that person or company, their behaviour there will affect how they are perceived offline and on. Dicking about on a discussion board reflects on that account and nothing but that account and the history of that account dies the minute the user behind it logs off and doesn't use that account again.

    Feels kind of weird that this needs to be explained.

    Do people type slower on facebook, twitter, et cetera? You made a point about people using these needing to go out more. Maybe they go out enough, and they can type quickly?

    Edit: Or maybe they already are out, and are accessing said social media while out? Do the out need to go out more? Like the double rainbow, double out?

    I remember back when i was 10 i put a porn pic as my profile pic on bebo and thought i was cool ....

    *facepalm*


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,085 ✭✭✭meoklmrk91


    Facebook was my first Social Networking account despite my being a tech nerd, Bebo was not for me at all. I have a Twitter account but never use it. Happy enough with Facebook to be honest, when timeline came through I was pissed though.

    If Google+ could guarantee me that this crap would not be floating around every time I log in, I would have no problem switching. Actually feck it, activating account now. Google are class, might as well let them pimp me out rather than Zucklewankface

    and just when everything seems to be going good, they f*ckin change it ....


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭Pushtrak


    I've been able to avoid the timeline nonsense. Whenever I see people looking at an article on, say the guardian I have to copy the name of the article or else it'll change me to timeline. Don't want that.

    That's why I don't have timeline so..

    Such and such want to access your personal information etc etc

    Get ****ed..


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,155 ✭✭✭Wompa1


    Twitter - Yes - Love it! Follow other IT people, they post good articles, blogs etc.

    Bebo - No - Deleted it years ago

    MySpace - No - Deleted it years ago

    Google+ - Yes - Only really started to use it properly when I moved to Phoenix. Nobody used it back in Ireland. The new layout is great.

    Facebook - Yes - Took a year off from it but went back to stay in touch with family who refuse to f'kin e-mail!!

    You forgot:

    LinkedIn - Good for professionals. Great for blogs, articles and job postings. Also used by a lot of recruiters.

    Pinterest - It's becoming huge here but am staying away for now.

    changing to the timeline doesn't mean they can access your data. You have to agree to it or when you read something on another site for example choose to post it on FB. & you'll have to get the TL sometime or else leave FB




    pintrest look's shít, to me it looks like a whole site dedicated to FB likes & photos of things


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    even bebo has more votes than myspace :/ I had a myspace for 4yr. got pally with some nice foreigners far as I recall myspace was the first one to take off on the global scale before facebook took over n killed it; little as three or four years ago

    I didn't have a choice. I avoided it as long as I could but then eventually I got a warning that Timeline was going to be enabled on my page by such and such a date. Only options were Change to Timeline or Try It.

    I did neither and when the day rolled around it changed my page.

    Changing to the timeline doesn't but either way they can still access your data and by the looks of things so will other organisations

    I'm not talking about having a choice about using the timeline.
    The timeline's actually a better look than the old profiles - takes you a while to get used to it just

    I'm talking about having the choice to decide which other sites interact with your FB profile, netflix's, youtube or some of the papers etc.

    if you interact with FB using them they'll probably have access to a lot of your data, same with all the apps on FB.

    whether or not FB sells your data anyway is a different story

    what or who do you mean can access your data?

    in reality FB probably does sell the data if that's what you mean

    but look at the amount of data you willingly give access to when using apps on FB or using other sites to interact with FB. even apps for your phone have access to a lot of stuff
