I've seen a Facebook page and it seems to me that you cannot have a decent conversation on it. Everything seems to be one or two or three sentences. That's one of my main objections, too. However, I think that's exactly what many people like about it. -- Joyce Something you'll never hear an 8-year-old say: "Nana, will you spit on your hankie and wipe the gravy off my face?" |

I also like the fact that threads are connected here, whereas on Facebook, there can be several disconnected conversations interspersed. Joy |

RPCA is nice there also in that it has gotten quite a lot of "new" members from people asking to invite friends who are also cat slaves and by far they have been very sweet and nice and have added a lot to the mix.. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: *http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped Because of all the people invited to rpca I don't post there as often as I might. I don't know those people and there are things I don't want to share with strangers or the rest of the world so for me, FB RPCA isn't a private place any more. I still post pictures and things that I think others might enjoy, but I don't consider it a place I could post something that I only wanted to share with my friends. Julie |

You do get longer posts on FB and they seem to be getting more common but as I say I treat FB almost like a quick chat or phone call just touching base with most people you know like when you pass someone in the street (there are some people I'm closer to but I tend to use the chat function for them or they have my email address) but here is more like a long proper conversation down the pub with a group of very good friends However FB has put me back in touch with a lot of people and helps me keep in touch with some of my relatives so I'm not knocking it Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

Sorry yes there are people who no longer come on here but usenet will not die because I also use FB for example I've not long switched my PC on and I've come here first- once I have read and replied to various threads/made a post I want to make then a little later I'll go over to FB. The problem is not someone like me who uses both but people who only use FB personally I would hate it if rpca on Usenet died Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

It will take years but sadly usenet will probably disappear eventually. -- Adrian |

Very few people I've spoken to (unfortunately, including ISP tech support people) have ever heard of newsgroups. Joy |
