If he's like me and refuses to join FB, he can't join a group, nor probably see the group conversations.
I kind of like posting up pictures here, and reading about other people's issues. It's kind of a nice small group. But FB is a whole different animal, and I guess I'm just not interested. I don't want my own page. I don't want views or subscribers. I don't want facebook telling me who my "friends" or people I should know should be. I really don't want to think about if you're my FB friend, or a real friend, or if I need to un friend you.
I'm just going to say this- I think FB is a huge ponzi scheme, and is filled with bots generating advertising revenue, that they are probably churning out the algorithms for themselves. Your business has x number of views and you owe us x number of dollars for ad space. I don't want to post up what the kids and I did every weekend, and "look at the new shiny bauble I bought, that I can't afford". In 10 years facebook will be the AOL or Yahoo of the internet. My high school kids aren't on Facebook at all- they say its for creepy grownups to stalk each other. And if that's FB future, its not going to work.
And while I'm giving stock advice (in case you missed it- I'm giving a sell on Facebook), I'm just going to throw this out there too- I think UBER has seen its high point also, get out while you can. People aren't interested in riding in strangers cars, and the taxi business is a real business, but in no way justifies the valuation that uber has. Uber is a app to call a cab. And the cab driver is going to be someone so hard up that they are doing UBER in their spare time to make ends meet. I don't want them driving me anywhere. And I'm not interested in hauling other people all over town either.
And one more thing, if you're listening to me for stock advice, remember that I'm not in the market at all, my market investment is a bunch of old tired iron. So the advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.
That's the end of crane operator's stock tips for today- and it sounded vaguely like a old man rant, Sorry.
We now return you to the regular scheduled programming.
And remember, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't really watching you.
And just so I get my 2 cents worth in on the real subject- if someone made a affordable laptop that covered my equipment, that I could understand how it works, I'd buy one. I've seen the ones on craigslist and never have had a good enough reason to buy one, and I wouldn't know what to buy, so that's why I was reading this thread. If the laptop worked, I don't care if its pirated or not.
