That is what I found to be the case as well, Jim.

And Richard, why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel!? LOL. It's just a tool. It can be used or abused like anything else. We use it quite a bit to stay in contact and up to date with friends and family that are out of state, but I do agree, it can be rather annoying at times.

You are right... it is a tool... but not for you... it is a tool for Facebook to collect your info and sell it to the highest bidder.

Any information you give to them (including pictures) belong to them perminatly and they can do what ever thy want with it. They also own all "secondary" information. this is basically any info they develop using your info. this is relationships, and other personal info that can tie to you (check out "shadow profiles").

Nasty, evil stuff. and remember, the constitution and most laws protect you from the government... nothing else.

Richard

I created my business page under my personal Facebook account. I would agree that Facebook is less than ideal for any purpose. In my case its probably the user! But it works OK for what it is.

I think if you cross reference it with google then import it to adobe as a pdf but then export it as a txt file to word you should be able to get something accomplished. Might have to throw excel into the picture also....

I've tossed around the idea of deleting my FB page, but every couple of months I log on to get in contact with old friends.

Jim, what's with calling Matt's strategy a Ford solution?!

I guess once you work on enough trucks and scratch your head so much you start to go bald, trying to figure out why Ford does some things they do, you'd understand my comment!

I know what you mean Jim. They've been that way since the 60's for sure, maybe earlier. Not just with trucks. Motors, cars, etc.. Haven't worked on much stuff earlier.
