I like to test markets, opportunities, and different potentials all the time. On some things, I start out on a learning curve figuring it as I go and on others, I move with ease and experience. At all times, I look to see if there is value and meaning a foot. I don't like to be busy just for busy sake, but productive, meaningful and worthwhile activity gives the best return

FACEBOOK

Facebook has been visited by me. I joined and and knew nothing but expected everything when I did. I thought it was a good way to expose my business model to further Real Estate activities and promote the sales of my PEARL SERIES of books. While waiting to see what results would come in, I found it mildly entertaining and even inviting.

THEIR AGENDA ACCOMPLISHED

A closer look reveals that while engaging me somewhat personally, professionally it offered no value. But it takes time and time is value in my world.

DON'T TOUCH THAT BUTTON...CAMPAIGN

YOUR KILLING THESE PEOPLE OFF

A parade of people and their pictures is presented largely on your screen with little captions saying how these people will all miss you. If you are not grounded, this is designed to stop you in your tracks. You are hurting all these people by your unnecessary action..It is so well done. You are a culprit of a sort

MANDATORY QUESTIONING TO DEACTIVATE ACCOUNT?

At some point, they want to know why you are canceling and make it mandatory too. I disliked that. Then, a message designed to comfort you. You can come back at anytime and begin where you left off by clicking here etc. We hold no grudge and come back to the fold...we love you no questions asked...WHAT?

FRIENDS KNOW WHERE TO FIND YOU

Now that it is a public company, you will see a lot more activity designed to hook and keep you there as their agenda is to sell your attention span and data to others for a profit. It is investor driven now. Meanwhile, the public, your employer, attorneys, debt collectors, the IRS, divorce and criminal courts, private investigators and spammers, con artists and the like will all miss you dearly
