I guess you have to use it to understand it. I don't. I can't even get on with Facebook; most of my 16-y-o nephew's posts (are they called posts?) are completely unintelligible.

I am not a regular visitor, as if that needed saying. :)

The sort of posts I've seen on facebook give new meaning to the word 'inane'.

Not always a good idea to post what you're up to on facebook (or anywhere else on-line come to that) unintelligible or otherwise.

This poor Hull family can vouch for that.

rtj70, I've asked Stephen if he can provide you with an answer to your question.

It's also a paradise for paedophiles.

Your 14-year-old daughter may think she's communicating with 'Gemma' who's 15 and shares similar interests.

In reality she could be communicating with anyone.

There was a case recently in which the paedophile pretended to be a female friend of the victim, the female friend's boyfriend, and his father.

This enabled him to develop conversations from various angles, eventually asking the victim to pose naked for the site, and then asking for a face-to-face meeting.

Happily, her real parents got wind of what was going on before that happened, but some damage was already done.

Facebook is a useful tool.

Any prospective clients, anyone approaching me through my website, anyone I set up a meeting with, anyone asking me to quote on a project, anyone who sends me a cv - I check them all out on Facebook or Google.

It helps to eliminate time-wasters.

Hi LEDfoot here.

Stephen asked me to respond as it was me who set up the twitter feed.

Basically, twitterfeed polls this site every 30 mins and gets the last few posts which it then tweets onto twitter. Only reason we do it is to raise exposure of the site. It's not doing anything Google won't do itself regardless (all the public threads gets indexed by google everyday anyway.)

Having content also on twitter pointing to the site, just helps the content get noticed and hopefully will draw more traffic our way.
