By now most have gave into the evil of Facebook.
Surprised to see much of anyone left here. Forums will be a relic of the past just like BBS. 
Speak for yourself. Why anyone would give a single company access to that much personal information is beyond me. Supermarkets have to bribe customers with loyalty points to get them to sign up to 'Big Brother knows your shopping habits' cards! What exactly does Facebook give in return? Maybe a hollow sense of loss at not having as great a life (or meal for dinner) as your aquaintance from Year 10 at school?
I'll stick with Amiga.org and Amigaworld.net thank you. If Mark Zuckerberg wants my personal information he can request to be my pen pal or jog on (on his tour of every state in the U.S. he has planned this year, i.e. he's paid too much).
Same problem with Amazon. If we buy EVERYTHING from one company including plasters, paint, milk and clothes then quite soon the world of Bullfrog's Syndicate will come into being. Amazon already pays next to no corporation tax in the UK and treats its employees apallingly. Without Amazon marketplace many warehouse based resellers could no longer function as I found to my cost when I attempted to order a kettle off a badly maintained website left out to fallow due to Amazon & Ebay now accounting for 99% of their business! Let's just say the company had no idea the order had even been placed when I rang them despite a PayPal payment! The kettle soon arrived but this country's online retail sector no longer operates without Amazon, EBay ot PayPal (which is still EBay).
What with Micro Mart magazine going bust recently and with it the last printed maintream magazine I care about, I really think this 21st century mega-corporation/social media/celebrity/always connected and feedback obsessed world has gone mad.
The next garage, pet shop or dry cleaners that asks me for feedback on social media will get a Micro Mart back issue ceremonially wacking the nearest smart device onto the hard cold ground in a splintering of gorilla glass and aluminium. Not that they would care because they are probably paying £20 a month to insure the damned gadget. Rant over. :bitch:
