Yeah, I understand all that part. It's the technical details that
continue to elude me.
Most of the social media I don't use really doesn't work very well
unless you have a smart phone. I don't have one & I don't see that I
need one. That might change, but not today.
My latest cell phone has a camera. Verizon gave it to me "free" and cut
the price of my service plan to get me to give up my old cell phone.
I've taken a picture with it. I don't have internet or texting or all
that other smart phone stuff on my phone. It's just a basic flip-phone I
have so I can make telephone calls.
It took me almost an hour on the phone with Verizon's help desk to get
the photo from the phone to my desktop (email inbox). I could have
solved the problem more quickly by just going home & getting a camera,
then coming back to the location & duplicating the photograph (static
subject).
The there's facebook. I don't have facebook because I have a bad
attitude. When it first came out, I was bombarded by people telling me I
*HAD TO HAVE* facebook, which pushed one of my hot-buttons. I get
stubborn. I *DO NOT* have to have facebook, and I won't.
You can't make me, so I ain't gonna'!
Plus, I can hardly make heads or tails of Google+, so why would I want
another one I can't figure out.
I understand email & I understand Flickr. I'm good.

Social platforms are easy to understand, you post images and messages to
your friends, and the platform offers you a "free" location. The
platform takes any information you post and monetizes it for it's
benefit and makes oodles of money, and maybe retains all rights to your
content. It's an easy to understand concept. You get a "free" service,
they use it to sell you things and sell actually sell the online you to
the highest bidder. It's a win-win for them.

The average age of PDML members is definitely going up. Where is the
new blood!??
Taking pics with their phones.
And not using email, which most of them have never heard of. And if
they have, they can't get past the text-only requirement.
The PDML has a pretty robust geezers-only firewall in place.
I thought Doug removed the plain-text-only requirement
If this comes through then Doug did indeed remove the plain text filter.
But you still can't post images & messages together like you can with
twitter or facebook or whatever the latest social media platform I don't
understand is.
