Perfectly stated, Martin!
Facebook really has been a wonderful place for instant personal & business 'socializing' and sharing of; info, photos, cat pics & videos, experiences at the moment, offers of mets, and anything you can imagine! There are about a dozen top meteorite groups where a majority of the meteorite community frequent to share images, sales, experiences, grievances, eBay issues and anything meteorite related... Heck, even 'recipes' to stabilize rust issues... ;-)

Best Regards,
Greg

Hi Bernd, Tracy, all.

Most of my meteorite related chat now occurs via Facebook and this is
what i observe from many others too. Numerous people within our
meteorite community who were regular posters here on the metlist i now
see posting daily in the various facebook groups and forums. I know
it's not for everyone but i for one would certainly feel as if i was
missing out on the latest meteorite news and chat if I were not on
Facebook.

I have done quite a few posts over the last year where i have
submitted the same post via various different forums and plarforms to
try and see which generated the most conversation and i have to say
Facebook won by huge margins every single time.

Hope to see you on there maybe Bernd? Your experience and knowledge
would be hugely beneficial to everyone there :-)

Kind regards

Martin

Hello Bernd and All,

Maybe 'Social Media Overload'? I have been talking with several friends over the last few months about the dramatic slowdown [from last two years] which
has many contributing factors, none of which is purely; MetList Forum,
Facebook, Twitter or any of the other outlets of info... almost a 'Quiet
Before the Storm' effect. It may be an indication of 'The Market' and/or
'Supply & Demand' which has been very tough since 2008 and even more since
one year ago in 'my' experience and dealings. I should look up at the sky
and see if the birds are heading in an odd direction for this time of
year...

Best Regards,
Greg

...  or have I been dropped?


Hello Tracy, Greg, List,

No, you haven't been dropped but the frequency of contributions
has dropped considerably. Interestingly, the same phenomenon on
Geoff's CSR forum and even on our German forum.

Best from Germany,

Bernd
