Title: WG or Facebook
Post by: Ncdan on November 03, 2017, 07:40:58 PM

Must it be one or the other?  May we not indulge (literally) in the best of both worlds?  <pipe smoking, philosophic emoticon>

Nope, not the only one. I check in every day, don�t do Facebook at all. Couple of other motorcycle forums and a couple of other subject related forums. Post here more than anywhere else, which is not much at all. I ride mostly alone, work mostly alone. Got church. Got family. Got my dog. Works for me.

I enjoy both. WG for my MG fix, and FB for furry animals.

Wild Guzzi for sure. There's always something interesting here.

Lotta crap on facebook.

I have been involved in information security and privacy work for some 30+ years now. I am only present on one social media platform, and that's LinkedIn - because to be successful in my filed you have to be there. I recommend to friends, family, and my clients that they severely limit their participation in social media networks.

So far WG is much better than palmface book.

FB is to check on those with whom I connect by blood. WG is to check on those with whom I connect by oil.

I closed my facebook account a few years ago. Total waste of time, and chock full of hypocritical , acting like I care BS .WG, I go on 2-3 times a day. Best entertainment/ information source I have found ,ever. There is always some one here that has good, or at least well intentioned knowledge to share on almost any subject....from steel cut oats, to smart legal advice, and even  a little bit about Guzzis....Its all here, all one has to do is ask! The politeness, and mutual respect shared in this forum, is exemplary!
Appreciation, love, and respect. to Luap, Mrs Luap,  the moderators, and all the members!

I use Facebook only with family. I added my phone no for benefit of more distant relations. I got supposedly targeted adds from scammers who were given my phone no thru Facebook. That and the fake news and the politics. I just hope that particular app ends up as a fad or a phase like space hoppers, tamagochi and the millenium bug. If in 2030 people say remember Facebook I'd see that as a good thing.

No Facebook for me.  Work is always sending out warnings about Facebook. 

I wish this forum had a like feature though.  Sometimes I just want to like a post instead of making a post saying that I like a post.

I usually check FB once a day I check WG at least 4 times per day.

I find the discussions here to be generally more intelligent than on FB. But the folks here who want to fix their Guzzi's "breaks" instead of brakes often test that theory for me.   :rolleyes:

I see more pictures of Moto Guzzis on Facebook than I do here, so there’s that. You just have to like or belong to the right group, like the Moto Guzzi National Owners Club.

And we all know that oil is thicker than blood........ :wink:

The Facebook Guzzi page doesn’t have near the level of cramudgeonism of Wild Guzzi. Keep it up boys

I'm really proud to say that I was born in the eighties and have never used fb. I don't think there's too many of us out there...

WG all the way!

I have Facebook because I have some old cop buddies that’s dying off or getting in poor health and I just want to keep up with them. I only have around 30 friends there. I have made some friends here but never had the pleasure of actually meeting any of y’all in person. My hope is the be able to do that in the future, meet you guys in person.

 FB is like anything else , it's what you make of it , although it pays to not wander into certain places on FB .

I have a FB account.  I like it to keep up with my family, kids' families, military buddies and just a handful of others.

Here, 6000+ members can see my stuff  :grin:

Dorcia has a facebook account, but very rarely posts. I signed up when it first came out, saw what it was, and said, Oh. Never mind.  :smiley:

It doesn't have to be either/or.

I belong to 5 Guzzi forums including this one. Have joined 6 Guzzi groups on FaceBook as well as a couple of general bike ones. Then I've liked 4 other Guzzi and 6 general biking pages, which include a couple of local ones for meeting up, so get info from them. Then I write 2 blogs - one on my Guzzis (which is a bit out of date) and one for a local classic bike club. On top of that I subscribe to several other old bike blogs. Then there are the 2 Guzzi Yahoo groups although one is pretty much dormant. You just can't have too much of a good thing!

I know, I know, I have too much time on my hands. I have other interests as well so there are almost as many genealogy groups, forums, blogs to take an interest in. Then there's keeping up with the family.....


......sometimes I even ride motorcycles.

I use FecesBook to keep in touch with non-Guzzi family and friends. I don't look at it often.
I did need to unfriend a few 'drama queens' on there though.
