AT40/70s & 80s Discussion: Fun & Games Site vs. Facebook

[at40petebattistini]

As some of you may know, I finally created a Facebook page nearly a year ago after opposing it for a long time. (It's rather a lengthy story ... another time.)

However, during that time I've noticed some overlap in AT40 information and dialogue topics between this site and FB. While I've been active with this site for many years, I've actually directed more attention lately to FB because, frankly, I believe it's more user friendly. And that's part of the reason why I've been less active here.

I'm a little curious if you have more of an allegiance toward this site or more with Facebook, and why.

I like both, this site and facebook. Facebook maybe a little more since i'm on it more. I like some of the things you share on facebook, like the different items you have. And since you can post photos of those items and can actually see them, it gives fb a little more advantage. But I can say i've learned a tremendous amount of info on both sites. Just want to say enjoy both of your books. I think you did a great job on them.

Die, Fakebook, die! Zuckerberg is evil! Bring back MySpace!

I rarely go on FB... unless I need to contact someone I can't reach any other way. I much prefer this forum for AT40 updates and lively debates. I wonder if I even still have a MySpace page? Hmmmm...

Dislike Facebook greatly and avoid it at all costs.

I got tired of everyone's extreme political views and stories to back it up from "reputable" sources like huffingtonpost, Blaze, Libsaredabomb.tv, and Obamaissatanicoverlordsleepimgwithskeletor.org, so I divorced Facebook about 6 weeks ago or so.

I check out the Facebook site along with my regular Facebook viewing along with some of the extra tidbits that Pete posts), but this forum is better for more 'long-form' discussions without having to constantly fiddle with the feed settings.

I still regularly use Facebook...but to be honest, I had no idea you'd even created a FB page, Pete.

That said, I'd say this site has too much going for it already to go anywhere else. Just one example - with Facebook, chances are a lot of the discussions would all have to end up condensed into one or just a few places, whereas here it can stay divided up as needed/preferred.

I don't use Facebook. Never have and never will.

[billyonaire]

I use both regularly.
