Facebook. Out

Now that I am definitely out, I'm finding it harder and harder to recommend Facebook to any of our reader/dancers.Yes, they have almost at a billion users.Yes, they receive 350 million photos daily. Yes, they have ridiculous amount of traffic. Yes, they have one of most powerful ad targeting systems. But that is not enough for me.

"Clouds will come floating into our lives, but they will no longer carry rain 

or usher storm, but add color to our sunset sky."

I just have a feeling we’re seeing the crest of Facebook’s domination and you may want to look more carefully into diversifying your digital assets. It’s not focused on users anymore. Some time back, Facebook started shifting its focus away from keeping users happy to keeping advertisers happy.
It seems that most of the “improvements” made were and are oriented towards revenue generation rather then user retention and engagement.

Meanwhile without Facebook, (and I have also deleted Pinterest,) the average hits per day on our blogosphere continue to increase. So I must concentrate on the blogs I have and they can promote each other. The Two Centers, of course, will tell the tale. More Two Centers willing to share information give us more local readers. And then the possibility of getting a Guest Author from that group.

There are plenty of dancers in this sector but most are Downtown Oriented. As the traffic situation gets worse, more people are thinking more locally and there are more into social dancing. A Community Center with a dance floor one quarter the size of the Pallidium? Wow, perfect and dis da blog.
