[Dailydrool] Also still here - Drool - Bugler

[R Groves]

Also still here.

 

While I like the ability to see pictures and such on a facebook type wall,
there are multiple reasons I don't go into facebook on any type of
regularity.  One being more time wasting opportunities, click this / see
that, etc.

 

The other side of facebook is the ad display, the bot news garbage, and
worst . the pervasive tracking.  I get it, these are things that make
facebook "free", but also something that keeps me away for any regularity. 

 

Google+ and any google owned entity is every bit as bad and worse with
tracking as Google's last update to their authentication mechanism means you
can't just close and open your browser to clear out your direct connection
to your google account and hence first point of them tracking you .. you
have to log out then remove your account in two or three steps.

 

Google does have "Google Groups" which operates similarly to NewsGroups,
though again there is a tracking component and sign-in like Google+

 

There could also be a group under Yahoo Groups (if familiar with FreeCycle
that's how they go about it) YahooGroups is like Google Groups which is like
..  what we have here in email, but web based.  Yahoo doesn't seem to have
the sign-in stigma but that doesn't mean it won't.  And it does have ads and
ability to put ads into posts.

 

If the Drool is to go to the web, I'd rather see it in one of those group
formats vs facebook.

 

Lastly, any Bugler followers ??

 

Riche's January publication posted an announcement that March is looking to
be her last.   :-( 

 

She's been doing this incredible publication for as long as I've been on
this earth . maybe we could all post remembrances.. or maybe bury Riche's
Mailman in cards from time to time?
