Facebook Like - whats the deal with this?
Submitted by crasny1 on Mon, 2013-12-09 16:36
Sorry to ask about this on a fisheries site, but it is General discussion.
What is the deal with "like us on Facebook"?
Do you get a reward for likes or what. Every site you visit now almost on the web have a facebook page and on their main internet sites they always request like us etc.
Sorry but I dont get this, so I dont like if I ever go there.

Well
If you like them on Facebook, then their posts will show up on your news feed. And if you like one of their posts, then all your friends will see that as well. Its just a way of strenghtening their presence on Facebook.

Well by my calculations that was 8 mins lol. Yep FB is gay, I did my 3 month FB apprenticeship last year, stalked all my ex friends etc, then got sick of the crap on there, I didnt need to be reminded of how gay society is these days, everyone's priority seems to be what everyone else thinks of them

Yeah, I know, it was good to follow a few things like certain groups or business pages for updates etc. Lost that lure up in exxy without boatn a fish on it :(
Otherwise, I ended up selecting for individual's stuff not to show in my newsfeed for most of my 'friends' so figured, whats the point, none of my real mates have FB. Was thinking of joining back up just to keep informed by groups, businesses and pages of interest, was wondering if twitter was better for this??? Too much personal stuff gets put up on FB by individuals, people dont realise that its out there for the world to see, guess you can use it to what extent you like. My mrs reckons this forum is like FB for me anyhow, always bitchin and carrying on on here she says

I'm the black sheep
in our family I've never had it never want it, if it was used in the spirit it was intended then it wouldnt be too bad I just dont get how most on fb think that the world or even their family or freinds want to hear about every detail of their life from what they had for breakfast or their kid just did a big stinky shit or such and such is a whore or their dad is a mean bastard
cos he wont let them do this or that. to all those who are not I appologise the rest are just morons and this includes my family cos they are just as bad!

It was making me far too cynical of people and their stupidity. I would rather live in ignorance.

like us on facebook is free advertising,the more people that like the more people that see it.

Its just you signing up to receive other people's advertisements really. I have a Fishwrecked Australia account but hardly use it, very annoying.

You blokes would be surprised
You blokes would be surprised at how much fishing content there is on there. Just about all the local tackle stores have a page and the facebook users are usually the first to know about sales, competitions, new products etc. Quite often there are special deals just for people on facebook and not to general public. Quite a few forum kind of pages where people share reports and photos, theres one local Perth page that has nearly 6000 members and is getting updated with new posts/reports almost hourly.
Learnt a shitload about fishing not just locally but worldwide just from various fishing pages. Imo I think its great. After a while you know what to ignore and what to stop scrolling at and have a gander

Bang on Beau, unfriend the
Bang on Beau, unfriend the FWits, and use FB for usefull stuff. Join up with a nickname and no personal info like on here. Could even start a Fishwrecked page, status updates of fishing related only. Thered be a few that cant be arsed uploading pics from their phones or cameras and doin up a post on here, a quick upload from the phone to FB takes 5 seconds for a brag pic, report or update of weather conditions, boat ramp funnies etc on the go, anything fishing realated, even fish id out on the water instead of killing it and takin it home to take a pic and upload on here for an id lol

And Fark ya's I have a FB
And Fark ya's I have a FB account and actually enjoy it. You can filter out all the shit inlaw feeds etc. There's some really funny shit on there and I have actually made real friends there too. I don't subscribe to a lot of the crap. I bet a few of you are ghost users, I know plenty of them. "i don't like face book" but have a secret account lol. As beau said there's some good fishing sites on there.
Love the West!

Not everyone lives around the corner...
I dont use it ... But family do, so they can communicate with the free video calls and upload photos etc to share with friends and family in East/that live overseas.
Has its place, if used for that ...... you can choose who has access to see the stuff on your page.

I was just asking!!!
Didn't know there was so much shit.
My son is touring Europe playing concerts and keep sending me "FB" stuff on my email.
I just didn't know what to do but have actually followed him.
Im a bit of a social media hater because some things don't and shouldn't be shared.
However so naïve I don't know how to post back, so I just call!!!!

I use mine for fishing
I use mine for fishing related things usually. Don't put up too much personal stuff. Great way to make some good contacts and I have fished with quite a few people I've met through FB. You can choose how much you want to give away. More comes up on google for my name that you would find as a visitor to my page.
Wife uses hers to share pics of the kids with family. Bit hard to keep up with everybody scattered all over aus and overseas.

Facebook Buy Sell and Swap
Facebook Buy Sell and Swap etc are great ways to buy second hand stuff or sell off your unwanted crap. Bored housewives are suckers and sit all day watching for a bargain. They seem to compete against each other and become "compulsive buyers". My missus put some junk for sale and had 8 replies in about 3 minutes!!
Also quite enjoy the Fishing in the Pilbara Facebook to see what is being caught around here.

One of the funniest is "Keeping your fish straight so you dont look like a fu&^*wit"
The bloke goes through the fishing photos on line and if you are one of those wankers who cant hold ya fish properly for a photo, he bags you out!!

Not on
I'm not on FB, but the other members or my Family are, My sister has 900+ "friends" .
Me I've only got a few, difference being........
Mine pitch in and helped me move house................................Hers posted words of encouragement.
Mine go fishing with me and help tag fish................................Hers troll the comments page and tag photos.
Mine will crack an ale with me...............................................Hers just whine....(probably while snorting crack)
I could (and have) pick my mates out of a police lineup..........She wouldn't reconise any of hers even if they walked past, naked singing waltzing Matilda.
I stick with my few mate thank.
My Son ask me for help the other day, I said i couldn't but I was sure 1 of his 400 FB buddies would be able to. the look on his face was priceless

yup i have the book and
yup i have the book and instagram........never got into twitter and dont really understand it.
enjoy them both... FOr all of you that cant get your head around buisness and fbook pages, there is something called free advertisement.......................its really pretty simple, if i was a company owner i would have one 100% no doubt.
as beau said there is plent of fishing info and fishing pages worth the read.
Its perfect when your in my satuation travelling the world....i dont have a phone that works, i purely rely on WIFI facebook and skype/viber applicaiton. To be honest i like it this way cause i can pick and choose when i talk to people back home. It is a great way to keep in contact with friends who live long distance...
as sea kem said you can filter out everything you dont want to see, block people you dont want seeing you stuff etc etc....
a hard days fishing still beats work
