Facebook Frolics 4
The Zuckerborg plus a selfie equals a rescue.
You still won’t find me logged into the Zuckerborg.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

One exceptional case doesn’t make it a new innovative tool for finding people who are lost. Statistically, I’d think it’s non-existent. Remember how Facebook freed the Middle East? How the Zuckerborg ended the need for waiting for organ transplants?

It was definitely lucky coincidence.
That what made it news.
Good stuff can happen on Facebook. That doesn’t make Facebook good.

I’m still waiting for good stuff to happen on Facebook. I don’t expect it to arrive. I’ve always thought of it as global BBS largely for chickensh– people of my age who spent a decade hiding from or scoffing at digital technology until it reared up and rendered them obsolete as everything except monetized gossips and pearl-clutchers.

I’m in Virginia Beach because I reconnected on Facebook with my first girl friend from a long time ago.
That’s my good thing that happened on Facebook. That is, indeed, my only good thing that happened on Facebook. Everything else has been but jots and tittles.
Heh. To use a BBS, one had to know what one was doing. To use Facebook, one needs to know–er–not much of anything. Analogy rejected ;).
