Surprise, surprise! Half the family didn't know the baby was born and she couldn't understand why they weren't sending congratulations (and presents). Maybe if she had shown the same interest in us as she expected from us, she would have gotten a warmer response to the good news. Not everyone has the time or inclination to follow her life on a daily basis.

I think Facebook turns a lot of people into social morons.
(Sorry for the rant. I'm done.)

Not a rant, my dear. You are absolutely right. I've explored Facebook, and some of the constant drivel that people post is beyond the level of moron. I wonder if they realize when someone goes for a new job, human resources goes on social media to see what that person is writing. ie: bad mouthing a former boss, admitting to way beyond heavy partying, etc.

I like some of the Amateur Photographer FB's
where one's own photos are shared and sometimes
discussed.
A jolly bunch are on one of my favourites.

Mmmm, interesting comments from all of you....

I, personally think it is time to accept that there is a new order of communication....If you don't or can't trust yourself to say the right thing...there is a mode of Social Media for all....and as I said before, like it or not GC inc; is a business ....and one that may benefit very sweetly from a gentle hand in glove ...lol....random instagram account .....of course this could unleash the return of Mr Face.... I have no problem forgiving that post.

Just to put it in context.... Electricity was rolled out to all homes in my country in the 1950's, the government decreed that every home would get two light bulb and one socket.....My Granddad told me many many people refused the socket....sure, what did they need that for?

I feel this is the stage we are at with Social Media....jmo
Thanks to all of you for yours.x

Hey wwhs that's a very interesting analogy with
electricity and I remember that change coming into home as a child !
Prior to that everything in our home was run by gas.

I can't imagine GTC ever using any form of
social media though.
There are enough fake ones already ! lol!

And we will never know if he had one under a pseudonym. That way he can access other FB and Twitter and keep abreast of things (if he wants to). How many of you use a pseudonym for your accounts?

Yes I think this could be. Remember when Justin Bieber published a picture on Instagram or Twitter with his friend where their both were kissing the breast nipples of a stripper and George commented few days later about it? So he is aware what is happening....... I think he has a pseudonym to use the social media Laughing
