Re: [AMRadio] facebook
Bernie, Folks join face book at the urging of friends and family but they do not realize that facebook sends invites to all your contacts unless you tell it not to! It is not very user friendly in my opinion and people have to look closely at their privacy settings there. Flickr or Picasa are better venues in my opinion if they want to share pictures of their station or rigs. Just my 2 cents worth but then again I may be senile.

Re: [AMRadio] facebook
Bernie, I routinely receive those invites. It seems like someone joins and facebook instantly takes their address book and sends out invitations. I don't know how or why this happens but the one post is because someone hit reply and this address was there. I always just ignore the message. If it continues I will address it but this is the first so I let it drop. 73 Jim/W5JO Moderator - Original Message - From: Bernie Doran qedconsulta...@embarqmail.com To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 7:19 PM Subject: [AMRadio] facebook what is going on with these facebook photos?

Re: [AMRadio] facebook
It seems like someone joins and FACEBOOK instantly takes their address book and sends out invitations. Evidently this IS the case. I closed out my Facebook account because the number of friends was growing exponentially. And I had heard of none of them. Friends of friends I would suppose but I want no part of it. - JimT __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.

Re: [AMRadio] facebook
Funny I use facebook every day. It does not do anything that you dont tell it to do. It does not auto export/invite your address book. You must confirm each person who wants to be your friend. Just like deleting or not posts you dont like. It is a great way to network with lost school chums and family you rarely see. You even have to tell it if you want email notifications from your page. There are many applications that can take your facebook friends list and generate spam wiithin facebook, but i always deny their access requests. Facebook is not the next great satan. It is a useful tool for those who use it. I even have a business page there that is growing. -Original Message- From: Jim Tonne to...@comcast.net Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 19:40 To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service amradio@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [AMRadio] facebook It seems like someone joins and FACEBOOK instantly takes their address book and sends out invitations.
