oaksoft Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 For those who are a bit more tech savvy, 600,000 Facebook accounts are hacked every day. Those who are interested there is a book called Future Crimes, written by a guy who has spent years involved in fighting cyber crime with security services all over the world, which details some of the real life things criminals have done after finding your personal details online. Some of it is gut churning and the ease by which they do it is astonishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Haven't ever felt the need to sign up with facebook. What does annoy me are restaurants who use facebook instead of a website, as you generally can't access a menu (as I'm a fussy bastard) or find out as much info. as I'd like. Plus there's usually a large pop up (ooer missus!) urging me to sign up to facebook, blocking the page. I suppose it must save them money, not setting up a website, but it makes me less likely to book a table at their establishment. Old fart minor rant over!

pozbaird Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I have no interest in being on Facebook. My interaction with 'social media' is restricted to a handful of football forums, this one being by far the platform I use most to blabber unmitigated reactionary moaning-faced bawbaggery bullshite. Happy days. Gie's a signing. FFS. I agree with Drew. Get it sorted MacPherson.... Edited July 27, 2017 by pozbaird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something i do my best to persuade businesses who are solely on Facebook, to take out a website. A website is a long term investment and you have the right frame of mind why it adds more value. You could spend just as much in a year taking out Facebook sponsored ads, where Facebook is coining in the majority of their profits.

Don't do restaurant deals, as most of them are restrictive in some way. When I eat out, I want the choice of the whole menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for me eating out is supposed to be a relaxing and special occasion. I like choice, and the last thing I want is someone telling me that I can't have a particular dish because it's past 5.00 and it's not in my "deal" . I tend not to pre-theatre either, unless, when the planet's align, there's a particular combo I fancy that can be accommodated from that menu.
