Spoken as if the three of you have never used or seen Twitter once in their lives.

Where's Battema these days? I haven't seen that gawdawful avatar of his for awhile. Of course, if this absence means a new ES album, then I'm all for it.

He's been posting... You just haven't been opening those threads I guess....

He's a regular. Check any of the electronic/Tangerine Dream-related threads.
Funny, as social media evolves, the less enthralled I am with it. These days, I'm starting to understand why Ted Kaczynski went off the rails as he did. I jumped in headfirst during the 300-baud era Commodore 64/Coleco Adam days using CompuServe>PeopleLink>ProtoCall>Prodigy>AOL before I started weaning myself off the distraction in the late 90s. When Twitter debuted I was invited by a friend who was an early adopter. This must've been around 2005 or so. Spent all of one week on it before deciding I had better ways to waste time. Then came FB and the whole phenomenon of the "Friends collectors" and what others have already observed and commented on, FB being the platform for (pick your political/social/religious leanings)-wingnut utterances. I've chosen to limit my FB activity to immediate family only and a few select correspondents....or are just envious of the social interaction

PE is one of the only regular things I do online anymore, not only for the vast array of informed participants, but for the sheer entertainment value of the um...*cough*...regular cast of characters' contributions.

Perhaps because he changed his avatar?
For that matter, where's trurl? Haven't seen a post from him in a while. Hopefully working on a new GH album.
Where are you Fred, we miss you!
About Twitter, I've used it, had fun, but couldn't really understand the appeal.

He posted something off-color, and somebody called him on it. He apologized and said he was going into the penalty box for a while. Maybe he's still keeping himself off the ice.
I see what you did there!

Boy they sure do. Although I haven't had to change the setting for a few weeks, fb has freqeuently changed this back to "top stories" on me. I'm guessing over the last 18 months I've had to re-change back to "viewing most recent stories" at least a dozen times. Why give the option to change how your news feed is displayed if they're going to keep changing it back on you!
< end rant >
I just changed my settings (thanks, Cozy!), and it said that it would eventually revert back.
So stupid. "We see that you want this setting changed, but we don't care - we're changing it back, anyway."
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
I have to change Facebook to 'most recent' at least a few times per week.
Today they added more options to the 'like' feature.
I once googled this fb issue and came across the following fb link that assures news feed displays "most recent". I have found it works well, though will sometimes migrate to fb from other sites/apps and it is during some of these entries to fb that the setting changes on me. Anyway, Gruno & others, give it a try....

Would love a solution, but this link only takes me to Facebook...
Ah...I recall having to insert that address (or part of it) into your current browser address then save/bookmark the new link. Something like that. Sorry, but I'm not a techy and I followed whatever the instructions were that I read at the time. Somewhere here may be the solution you're looking for!
Ok, DonArnold, I will see if that works. Thanks!
Anyone already mention Cold Fire? I vaguely recall some issue she had.
Supper must be cold by now, better give it to the dog.
That's because I'm not a twit, and my gf is not a twatSpoken as if the three of you have never used or seen Twitter once in their lives.
In short, while indeed I can still see a usefulness in fb (my hatred of fb is not just linked to zuckerberg, but how people misuse it or let it run their lives), I clearly don't see one in twit-ter
Outside , that is, to prove to the planet you're existing and show how much of a twit you are.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Cooee, Hugues before really disliking fb you ought atleast join and become a memberThat's because I'm not a twit, and my gf is not a twat
