I am on Facebook, checked out your page but DON'T send me too many ads....:laughing:

Thanks for the add and I won't send you tons of ad's :laughing: Just mostly trying to get this business up to date and into the Social Network world

I despise Facebook, and wouldn't join it to save my life...

No offense to you though, I'm sure your page is very nice :laughing:

Does LMF have a facebook? Does anyone know?

I simply don't see the point of it!

As with Twitter, I think it is just something people use to publicly tell people stuff, like...

"I went out and bought a cucumber that was down on price! Bargain!" :laughing:

And the stories about paedophiles talking to girls on there doesn't exactly help my feelings.

You can use Facebook for so much more that just daily "what I'm doing" or "I hate my life" status :laughing: I have used it for my business now for 4 years and the people you can reach, stay in touch with, network through is incredible. I would say weekly Facebook probably makes me around $500 in graphic design jobs. Thats $ I wouldn't have if I didn't utilize Facebook or any other Social Networking web site.

To me, Facebook is more like a giant chat room. I am retired, have loads of time to go there, yet I rarely do. HEY, I just killed this pesky mole that was in my iris patch. Hey, the neighbor's dog just c---- on my yard. Hey, a robin just hit one of my windows. Hey, the mail was just delivered. Hey, gotta water the garden. Hey, gotta feed the cats. Hey, gotta go sit on the pot. Hey....I will shuttup now. :laughing:

Same here! I have no need for it! :thumbdown: I even have texting locked out on my cell phone! ~~ grnspot

I didn't use FB for a long while... then started ONLY to keep track of my family... and it is surprising just HOW MUCH of their lives the younger ones, (between 15 and 25 years old), will place in a somewhat public spot...
I think some day they may regret some of their rather unconscious entries.

Texting is rather handy, I can get traffic flow and some highway congestion alerts... plus several other 'alerts' that are very timely,
Using voice to text apps, and text to voice also makes for a very easy and fast communication, when a phone call is not needed or unhandy... :smile:KennyV

I have been looking around, and this mutton character has 25 posts. Minus the posts in here - I think the rest are ads sprinkiled into a lot of other forums. The OP in this thread looks like the crappy ads I hate. "HEY - Y'ALL ON FACEBOOK? GET OUR SPAM NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!"

GRRRRRRR....GO AWAY, YOU STINK OF CHEAP NOOB SALESMAN. His spam is in the Snapper forum, too - don't know where else as of yet.

Didn't we just go through this whole "mooches' free advertising" thing?

I remember the Mutton commercials while living in Fort Wayne growing up! Kinda like Mighty Mouse. Catchy jingle too!

What is the situation on advertising ? Still the same, or has it changed ?

Because I for one don't want to see another thread like this soon.

For the moment, it's the same. I think Muhammad is working on it. Maybe we can have a legit place to advertise soon, and the rules will be tougher on spammers. But for now, I fear the spammers will be back, ready to mooch.

As JD suggested elsewhere, we should just let these spam threads die by not replying to them, and report them. If they bump their own threads, let them hang themselves. They might just get the hint we don't like them as all they hear is crickets in their threads....:wink:

So, I won't be posting again in this thread. :thumbsup:

Frankly, I thought "Mutton Power Equipment" was a good guy who could have contributed greatly to this forum had he not started wrong and been burned at the stake by we villagers. The Western Auto guy, measurably less so.

I have Radio Western Flyer wagon shrapnel in my ass from ill-fated downhill rides older than the guy who came on here representing the brand.

Lack of knowledge and respect for a great institution, posted here like an ad for a weiner enlargement pill. Didn't care for it.

How are you and I seeing this differently?

Hardly! I know some Yo-Yo tricks and can play "Moby Dick" on the drums. I can juggle with up to two balls and can sing any Bob Dylan song better than Bob Dylan.

I'm still not following. ??

I feel as a young person at 29, that the older crowd really just won't give time to Twitter. Here's how it goes....jokes aside, twitter is your own private news reel, with up to the second happenings. I have two twitter acounts, personal and biz. I follow stihl, turf companies, Basf, scotts, the list goes on and on.
Try this on for size......I've read that Companies could eventually do away with websites entirely, and just have a Facebook page.
I bet you didn't know you could create your own Video....commercial for example and post to your page for people to see, and guess what, its free.I suggest you dive into social media.

To those business owners who bragg about how much they don't need Facebook or twitter, I say only this.

Twitter is just glorified texting with a stupid name, IMO. WHO GIVES A BLEEP what somebody else is doing THIS VERY MINUTE?

Well, I'm old (55), use Twitter (to follow like minded business and interest people) and Facebook, half socially and the other half to 'Like' businesses who I can help, or can help me...so not everyone using Twitter and Facebook 'efficiently' is under 25. :thumbsup:

I'm Past 65 and like has been said... if you do not see the value of Twitter and Facebook, you are missing a lot in the way things are.... after all ...it's half past 2011, and time to look at some better ideas.
The business potential has only been scratched.... (that is why you will find places like this fine site, LMF, there)... :smile:KennyV

^^^Couldn't have said it any better myself. If you aren't using social networking to your own advantage I feel every business/company will start falling behind real fast. Web sites can be any where from $500 to THOUSANDS of dollars when you have at least 4 main Social Networking sites that are FREE and everyone knows about them and utilizes them. You have Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, and Youtube. You can watch video's on how to best use these for your needs and I strongly urge everyone to do so. Facebook is making me on average of $300-$500 a week in sales and its FREE for me to use!:thumbsup:

I will hit the big "60" next month and belong to Facebook, but to me Twitter is just plain stupid and the name alone irks me big time. The problem with these social netbooks is that a HUGE NUMBER of people using them think they are a proper substitute for good manners.

I know one couple who have been marrried for three years now, I have to be friends on Facebook with them as they are relatives, what baffles me is that EVERY SINGLE FRICKING DAY they have to post on FaceBook how much they love their newborn kid. EVERY SINGLE FRICKING DAY !!!!! Can't morons like them find something else to blather about??? JEEZ.

Doesn't sound like it. :laughing:

But, JD, then they wouldn't be morons! :laughing:

I haven't found myself bored enough to get with Twitter yet, but I do like Facebook quite a lot because it has reconnected me with old friends from my hometown whom I haven't seen in ages. It's pretty much as dull or as interesting as your Facebook Friends are and your desire to talk to them. Some of mine got hidden right away for constantly leading with their politics or religion, but the fun and interesting ones can be... well, fun and interesting. Your mileage may vary.

Facebook is a handy way for small-to-medium sized businesses to connect with people, but it will never take the place of dedicated websites from which one can order goods. That said, I've "liked" or "friended" a couple of businesses whose products and the dialogue surrounding what they supply is interesting to me. I didn't keep too many of them turned on in my news feed for very long though, because they posted status updates way too often. The more savvy businesses on Facebook know they can get away with no more than two or three status updates per week before being turned off from all their followers news feeds forever. As an interesting side note, Facebook is being threatened by "Google+" right now in a big way which has Mark Zuckerberg scrambling with Skype. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Will Facebook be the next name in irrelevance like MySpace?

Social media guerrilla marketing is big right now. One of my friends runs a guerrilla marketing firm who hires folks to invade forums and news aggregate sites posing as normal users, who then drop little product placement bombs here and there. Not my cup of tea but he's making money. "Hipster" sites made up of college students and I.T. types like Reddit can spot shills from a mile away, but I see many posts on sites like this that raise my eyebrows. Not referring to the OP of course; he's straightforward about who he is and he's got little reason not to be, given Muhammad's relaxed rule enforcement here and at LMF's sister sites. Blatant spamming here doesn't seem to get much notice as the regulars, especially the ones who complain (like me), actually make up very little of LMF's overall traffic. Here, it's mostly people coming in from Google to do research and they may or may not even stop to ask a question. Ad threads generate posts and posts generate traffic. Traffic generates revenue and if LMF doesn't generate revenue, there will be no more LMF.

What ticks me off most of all about Twitter, Facebook, and their ilk is that sites like these allow people to be obnoxious, ingate a--holes while providing them a handy excuse for their behavior. Somebody gets a huge graduation gift from their grandparents, and 50 other people. well they usually don't bother to thank anyone for a gift, they send out a text or tweet or post on Facebook a generic HEY THANKS EVERYBODY and their 85 year old grandparents don't even know what Facebook is, much less have a computer.

The couple I mentioned who keeps posting daily "WE LOVE OUR KID SO MUCH" on Facebook got $15000 worth of bridal shower, wedding, and baby shower gifts from over 100 people but they NEVER, repeat NEVER, took a minute to call and thank, much less send a written thanks to ANYBODY who was generous and thoughtful enough to shop for, pay for, and give them a gift...

INGRATE, UNAPPRECIATIVE, SELFISH A--HOLES thought a generic HEY THANKS EVERYBODY on Facebook was sufficient appreciation. Told my wife I was never, EVER going to give those turds the slightest bit of recognition or even say hello to them at family gatherings in the future. She understands why I feel that way. So happy the couple is on HER SIDE of the family, if they were on my side I would give them pure H---

Every innovation (cars, telephones, internet, Facebook) has the power to be used for good, evil, brilliance, or stupidity. It all depends on how much you can tolerate the mix. :wink:

Me, I have ZERO tolerance for ingratitude. So, THANKS for letting me rant once again here. Lol. Sent from Blackberry mobile.

Okay, I'll break my word on not posting here again -

JD -

Do we need this again? Sorry your family is full of rot. Really am. But, your little slice of reality does not the whole reality make, so get off it. Post your dislike for them on Facebook!

Facebook is more than just your relatives that make you so irate. We get it already - and if we didn't - well, we can do a search on "ungrateful" and get an eyeful of what JD thinks of these people.

We KNOW - you wouldn't p---- on them to put them out if they were on fire. I have a feeling you hate them. Congrats. I hate spammers, but this thread seems to be right up top all the time.....and ol' mutton chops seems to still have the opening ad linked right up there.....laughin all the way to the bank and braggin on his profits off free stuff (including this forum)......so apparently it don't mean nuthin what we hate.

(done with JD - this is for everybody)

This guy can spam forum after forum, and not get banned. Let me post a nasty four-letter f-word, and see how long I last. See how long a thread with my true language lasts. Enforce the rules uniformly, or have no rules at all. If your rotten little dealership has to resort to exploiting this forum, then you just suck. If your advertising budget is all spent on annoying radio ads, and your only online schtick is free stuff, that isn't smart advertising - that's just arrogance. Shall I use a 4 letter f work here to exclaim my frustration and disapproval? I don't think so - because 4 year olds might be surfing this forum - and they have NEVER heard the f-word, right? Let's see who defends ME. I think you know who would. NO ONE. Who's gonna say anything? Not for me. I would prove it, but I'm not gonna give the lurkers the satisfaction. So just keep posting away and bumping the rulebreakers' thread like it's a big joke.

I'm just about done with this forum.....this thread gets replied to over and over, although it's a blatent ad. I'm glad you think it's funny - I don't....I have other places to hang out.

"Thanks for letting me rant".....guess it can apply to me, too.........
