    Frankly, I never understood this craze with "Instagram." If I want to post a photo on Facebook, I'll just post it - no third-party 'app' needed. The Myspace generation is trying to "prettify" fb, with very limited success. I seriously doubt there was any real benevolence on the part of Instagram backtracking. It's cold, hard dollars and cents. Sooner, rather then later, they will figure out how to best harvest the content people are uploading for commercial gain. The Cloud isn't free.

    There was an update in Instagram's terms of service, set to take effect in mid-January, that said IG would be allowed to use your photos for such purposes, 'though the actual intent was probably not as evil as it sounded.

    There was an uproar, though, as there often is on FB, and IG changed its terms of service to something a bit more reasonable. You can read the details here.

    So....

    you all use Facebook? or at least some of you???

    I heard a commentary on that instagram that people use a lot on Facebook, that instagram uses your own photo that you take & post, & uses it for their own gain &/or some sort of advertisements.

    If I am wrong, or if you have heard differently, please do say so.

    2013 may be the year I do so - as I get back into producing records, it's been strongly recommended to me as a promotional tool.

    Leo, I hope you reconsider. Yes, it does take a great deal of discipline to avoid wasting time on facebook, but the social networking value outweighs it by far. Let’s face it, twitter is a “celebrity wanna-be thing,” myspace is dead, and linkedin just hasn’t taken off the way the business community thought it would. Facebook is the “end all be all” network and there’s no sign of a slowdown in it’s global reach.

    I am fortunate in my current employment, we aren’t allowed to use our smart phones (or have them visible) on the clock and our work computers don’t have internet access, except to certain work-related websites. Anyhow, I hope 2013 is the year you take the plunge for both facebook and smartphones. I recommend Google’s Android!

    Would you have that person's back and still be his Facebook friend or dig out?

    the privacy concerns can be taken care by your individual settings. on my page - if you aren't my "friend", you can't see anything. I have a very small friend list and I go on once a day, check my latest entries and then leave. It often takes the place of HT (psst Ron - here's a clue) and doesn't take that much time. I've gotten in contact with family members and old friends that I haven't talked to in years and its been great. You might give it a try = you can always quit if you dont like it.

    Re: Facebook Fate

    I'm active on Facebook. I dislike Facebook.

    I often describe it as a crappy restaurant that all my friends go to. Maybe I just don't share the same tastes in decor or cuisine, but I'll go, because the people I like hang out there. I'd rather that critical mass of real people who mean something to me amass elsewhere, but for now, stopping in regularly is a necessity.

    I have friends and family with whom I can't interact EXCEPT via Facebook. It annoys me to no end.

    It's a walled garden. It's a closed system that's taking everyone's comfort in being "hidden" and slowly turning it into a giant jail where everyone's naked. It's AOL 2.0. And we've been here before. The best part of the disastrous IPO is that it finally became clear that it'd actually be possible for the massive behemoth to tumble and crumble.

    Leo, why do you not want FaceBook? Just curious as many of us HT folks are on there.

    Leo, why do you not want to use FaceBook? or anyone else for that matter. Just curious as many of us HT folks are already on there.

    I think majority of people are into Facebook, & the once in Myspace are rarely/hardly there anymore (if any, only a small percentages), if not Facebook, possibly in other sites such as myYearbook, friendsters, etc. Although, I can say 2 things about Myspace that Facebook does not have, is the ability to place a nice wall paper in the back ground that everyone can also enjoy not only the person who picked the wall paper, & the ability of a software in Myspace which you can see if your friend(s) have seen your email/messages that you sent them, etc. Facebook, does not have that capability. In Facebook, if you send them a message, & they don't reply, you will never know if they saw it, or read it at all, unless they reply back.

    New stock price low at $28.65 today. And we've yet to see shareholders who can't unload till their 3-month and 6-month lock-up periods are lifted.
