Hi I don´t know if in the Forum knows about the GLBasic en FBook, I think can be a nice place for sharing info or another thing whit gaming or programming out in the GLbasic Forum...
I take a look and don´t have too much people, and here we are a great number of users!!!... :good: :good: :good: :booze: :booze: :booze: :help: :help: :help:
I dont really use Facebook myself...
I don't use FB either, but even if I did this forum is much more practical and functional.
Dont have a FB account either. :nana:
Ok, I don´t like Fbook too, but I think it´s a huge place for make advertising of our games, and of course GLbasic..., the politicies of FBook I hate, but this it´s like Apple, if you don´t pass thru the Hole, you can make too much... I refer to pay 80$... absolutetly a steal in comparation whit another Mobile Markets...
I don't like FB, but I have an account, because I know that is a great tool for promote your games and your knowledge. It's a good idea put a FB/twitter option in the games/tools you create for mobile to let the users share the "experience".
I finally found the delete button for my Facebook account (found the link hidden away in a help file and not actually in my account options like you'd expect) -- I'm soooo happy! I'm sick of the darn thing. =D
Stealth approach for me as I have my account active but disabled when signing out and haven't used it lately. :noggin:
I have an account there so to keep contact with a few friends that discovered technology yesterday and think FB is a must hehe.
It is good for the girls though and to chat a bit...
None for me, not a great social networking fan.
Gernot does have a Facebook page :)
Yes it´s for this MrT, GLBasic it´s in FBook, only I told for this...
No, I deleted it. It annoyed and horrified me at the same time. I'm not ready for facing this kind of transparency, yet. I hope I never will.
And now a days, with the "your life timeline" it gets more horrorizing.
I haven´t changed to that mode and I avoid using FB for anything then talking with a few chaps.
Since I work freelance, I can´t have clients managing my time by distance, time managing is my job.
Even my MSN is set to ALWAYS online for the very same reason.
I can see how people could use such to its own advantage, but it would mean more work for me and less free time, so currently it is a no.
I´m already pissed by google, like I browsed some shoes on net shoes to choose a couple to buy and now, every other page I visit google ads do me the favor to show an ad of netshoes showing the options I browsed, feels really intrusive.
The most horrifyng thing about facebook is automatic tagging.
Meaning, as soon as someone tags you in a picture anyhere, FB stores your facial characteristics data. Nice! Who needs fingerprints anyway. :rtfm:
And I found about it AFTER I was tagged in a photo that I didn't take or put on FB.
The funniest thing is we have 12 replies here, all stating that we don't use facebook. And yet they state they have millions of users. Interesting.
It usually attracts young people that just about learned on computers.
I take most of us here came from the 8bit era (30years old and on) and such as facebook adds nothing to us to start with (IMHO of course).
We should all use facebook to promote our products, to not do so and justifying it by saying you don't use it personally really is head-in-the-sand territory. It makes an ideal platform to offer support, provide dev news, teasers and promo codes to a loyal fan base. Not forgetting each person who adds your page is broadcasting it to their circle of friends freely for you :)
Or am I missing the point here ?
You are right, but add that a bunch of people complaining without much reason and also possibly bad propaganda as well as the good one. My point was that it adds work, for good or for bad.
But I agree, should everyone of us have a FB about our stuff that means we are able to check/help on ourselves and probably cancel troll stuff, but it is more work going ;)
You can't dislike FB. You "unlike" it. :D =D
