Message: ¿Cómo? I don't see how that is remotely possible. Is Google feeding off me too? Most of the Internet is free to use so is the Internet "feeding off me too?" To say FB is feeding off me would suggest that they're costing me money or I'm being taken advantage of. I use Google and Facebook and both are free to the user. Now I do own a company that advertises on Facebook but I get a nice return for my advertising dollars so it's a plus for me. Indeed, FB provides an unique advertising advantage that is unmatched by any venue in the world. FB is the ONLY venue that enables me to advertise precisely, with laser beam efficiency, directly and only to my specific target market. I do not waste a penny advertising to potential business outside of my market. Personally, Facebook has been just great for me. I've reconnected with many old friends/acquaintences that otherwise I might never see or communicate with again. FB also enables me to stay tuned into the latest happenings with distantly located nieces and nephews. I also keep up to date with some of happenings of members here too. I know it is almost fashionable to bash FB. I know that many of us old foggies proudly reject FB and wear it like a badge of honor. Of course, to each his/her own. Everyone doesn't think like I do and thank goodness for that! However, I submit that those that reject FB do lose out on so much. Given a chance, there is so much more to gain than there is to lose. BTW, almost all of the diecast manufacturers have a FB page. It's a great way to stay in tune with their latest offerings.
