I didn't evan have a computer when I joined FB, I did it to stay evan, and current with what people had been talking about for - I don't remember - maybe 3 years; so I did it.<br />One in sevean people world wide are on FB ? Okay. I am not the type that is accostomed to being in a majority; I like it though - this time anyway. <br />I like FB,I like it better without timeline. I do not like timeline and I did not sign up for that, it got forced on me. Oh well, I'll live with it. I think it is a little "busy" and "distracting" for my dyslexic brain, but so what, I am more cautious, and slower about everything anyway - because I am dyslexic. <br />I am pretty sure though, people pay less attention to the ads when inside the timeline format - just my idea maybe. I got no facts to back it up except maybe this: When someone gets something they do not want, and did not sign up for, it leaves a bitter taste. That is a fact that business people know well. If something else is built that offers more of what people want they will go there. <br />I think FB was trading at $22 today, and that is down from Friday whan it was about $37, and that was down from Thursday when it was slightly below $50. Well I am not buying yet. Its going down and it will not be back to near $50 again for a long time. If anyone is going to retire anywhere on FB stock they're gonna need to buy so much that earning a retirement out of FB stock was never a nessesity anyway. <br />I'll just stay here and continue to be happy reconecting with old friends, and meeting new friends with similar interests on the other side of the earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-19913644092275077372012-05-29T18:51:53.483-05:002012-05-29T18:51:53.483-05:00Been there, done that.
