Bye Bye Social Media Networking!

[An Oasis]

Totally OT but:

Wow, where's your butcher?

Weaverham! Very old fashioned but then the craft of the butcher has not changed for many years. It's also fun chatting with them about the joints of meat that no one buys anymore - fashionable meat.

Aaaaaarrrgh! That's the whole negative point. It's taking social networking away from the social concepts and turned it into a marketing tool. I can understand how marketeers look for new markets but the problem is they attempt a takeover. Look at blogging, once the home of the crofter in Scotland or the housewife in Hounslow, now all you see are attempts by nearly everyone to monetise their blog or just use it as a feed to their ecommerce store. The more the marketeers use social networking to push their products the more people will look for alternative means to socialise.

I agree with fisicx - yet again. Well put.

Weaverham - bit too far for me. I'm near Standish and we have a fantastic butcher near us too (not sure if they've won any awards).

They're in Heskin and we get all of our meat from there (nearly always anyway).

Called KJ Green (or something similar).

Sorry, I know this bears no relevance to the thread, but it just kind of cropped up - I'll stop now.....

Don't forget Twitter search - www.search.twitter.com

I didn't. It was my second point.

I wonder if those using social networks for business would help with our poll. You can find it here - it takes 5 seconds, one question.

My deep gratitude in advance.
