It is good, people talk about coking, eating and other food related things. There has been ( as far as can tell ) no name calling no wars or anythng nasty.

Do you think they lose some of the social bonding that takes place when people are attacking one another, and forming cliques based on the people and approaches they dislike? |

It is good, people talk about coking, eating and other food related things. There has been ( as far as can tell ) no name calling no wars or anythng nasty. I do not think the posts are censored, people just do the right thing in there. Certain members are not doing it because that's how they are naturally, they toe the line because the axe will fall when they slip into their typical usenet behavior... and that's a good thing. -- sf |

I've searched for "cooking groups" and such and find a number that are closed groups; perhaps some of these are the "right places" but inaccessible. Any clues as to how such groups can be found are appreciated. But I've spent almost a month really trying to study facebook and set up a presence there. From what I've seen, "discussions" on most any topic seem to be single paragraph exchanges, with around 5 iterations making for a "long exchange", and most falling short of that. Very cursory. Not what I'd call a discussion per se. That said, I've only been subscribed to a couple of groups, now unsubscribed. My initial assessment is that it's a not particularly expansive user interface. Kinda like twitter with significant elbow room, most of which is unused. |

Good to know, thanks. > Yep, and many times you will be granted access. Unless it's what > Facebook calls a "Private" group which is onl;y visible/accessable by > invitation, ostensibly. I'm that Facebook literate from an admin > perspective. I find FaceBook's interface problematic for too many reasons, but if you're literate perhaps you can answer this: If I subscribe to RFC, which I have, but also have 2 dozen "friends" that post 10 times a day, is there anyway to do filtering without unfollowing/unfriending and such? That is, I'd like to review NO rfc posts, and only my friends blabber. Following this I'd like to see none of their blabber and all of the rfc posts. I ran into this before with a jazz musicians group that had such high volume that I had to unfollow it altogether to avoid the deluge. Seemingly there is no middle ground. Elsewhere you said: > Mosly what peolle do is what I heard termed as "peacocking", from one > of the founders of Flickr. Basically just posting something that says > "llook at me and how cool I and my life are." I've been needing that work. This is the entirety of (what I perceive) twitter to be. > Lotta what I call hit and run posts. Sometimes minus the "run". Repetitive stand-alone "look-a-me" posts. I've started calling this barking, because seemingly no response will encourage a give-and-take engagement. > Not as many good discussions but Ive had a few in a few Facebook Groups. In a previous attempt to search for cooking groups I got these "closed groups "and nothing like RFC. Now I get RFC and all the "closed groups" I saw seem to have vanished. Clearly it takes practice to learn best out to waste one's time. |
