Facebook Blowing It by being greedy with your content!

Ok now, this is where I think Facebook is making a big mistake. I invite all of you to take a look at my public Facebook group “The Retro Playground Group Forum” , but first I want you to go ahead and log out of Facebook. Once you are logged out of your Facebook account go to my group’s Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/groups/retroplayground and tell me what you see. You do realize that my group is supposed to be a public group where anyone can view it’s content but only have to join the group to make posts to the group’s wall right? The problem is that within the last year Facebook has become increasingly greedy with your so called “public” content and they do not want you to share it with anybody outside of Facebook. As a matter of fact if you looked at my public group’s home page while logged out you would have seen that Facebook is currently blocking (hiding) all of my group’s posts on the group’s main page. (home page). I believe that they are doing this to try and get more people to join Facebook but with Facebook being the largest and most popular website on the internet I also find it very annoying and underhanded what they are doing to our groups and pages content by hording all of our content it and keeping it all to themselves. They are deceiving us by telling us that a public group’s content will be visible to anybody. That may have been the case previously but something more recently has made them change their minds on the matter and as per usual they have decided to try and keep it a big secret. Many people have been using the Facebook groups to offer their website’s a public forum of sorts where they can easily communicate with their members. As a matter of fact some people feel that Facebook groups have made most traditional forum software obsolete. That is all fine and dandy but the problem I am having with all of this is knowing how hard it is to get somebody to join your community if they can not first view some of your community’s content to see what you are discussing in the group/community. This puts us in a bit of a predicament. Now we have to consider possibly going back to using our old outdated forum software that does not do half of the things that Facebook groups can do but at least we can have control over our own content and decide who we want to share it with. Another problem though is that most people do not want to even leave Facebook anymore as they have become rather comfortable here over the years and feel little to no desire to go outside of Facebook to register a new account on some small website. So basically it will be the death of our small websites if we decide to leave mother Facebook. Does this all sound a bit familiar to you? it should because bigger companies like Walmart and Meijer have done the same thing to small business owners across the world. They have snuffed them out. It is a ruthless business strategy and it works. So far Facebook has done this to Yahoo and MySpace. Facebook has made them both a memory. Who’s next? Google? Apparently Facebook will not be happy until everybody in the entire world has a Facebook account and is logged in viewing our content. The problem is that it is not their content that people are viewing, it is ours.

Hey, just trsting this out from my email account

Good Match? YES

Capricorn Pisces Compatibility

The differences between a Capricorn and a Pisces are often more complementing than contrasting. Though they are completely opposite in so many respects, yet they seem to gel quite well with each other. A Capricorn is a realist, who lives in the practical world and is least likely to indulge in wistfulness. A Pisces is a dreamer, who is very happy in his own world, where everything is fine and everyone is good. He is also very sensitive and is much more compassionate than the former.

The Goat thrives on organization and disorder disturbs him deeply, but the Fish is entirely the opposite. If both of them manage to appreciate the differences between them, they can learn so much each other. The Fish can pass on his sensitivity to the Goat, who can teach him how to convert dreams into reality. Both of them desire security and commitment in a love relationship and will give it very gladly to the other. A Pisces seems so vulnerable that even the Capricorn will be forced to come out of his shell and show his true feelings.

Capricorn Man and Pisces Woman

The zodiac match of a Capricorn man and a Pisces woman has all it takes to lead to long-term compatibility. His strong personality will be the perfect support for her fragile, vulnerable self. He will make her feel secured and in time, she will also help him come out of his shell and express his emotions. She will never ever try to dominate him and will be like the wife who stands behind her husband, as he conquers the whole world.

A Famous Person once said:

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. They never make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."
