[Dixielandjazz] DJML Facebook - 707 Members!

[Jazz Jerry]

Hi Marek,

I see that you use gmail which it has been shown by the likes of Edward Snowden is fair game for the various security services including those from the UK, USA and many other countries. No real privacy there. Facebook only shares the information you give it. If you don't want the world to know the name of your cat, your favourite banjo player or where you had dinner last Thursday then you don't have to tell them!

I agree that many do share far too much personal information but Facebook can only pass around what they know. 

As I said the content of the Facebook DJML is far more dynamic and interesting than this group.

Cheers,

Jerry

Whilst on the site I can check the groups I subscribe to including the DJML and read what has been posted. I 'joined' the group in order to do this although anyone can visit without joining. However they cannot contribute without  being accepted.

Certainly more that this forum has which seems to have deteriorated considerably recently with lots of very inane and incomplete messages. Nothing like as interesting as when I originally joined in the mid-nineties.
