That is true and the younger or newer internet users use web based mail so don't even know about mail and news programs and how to configure them. Those of us that have been around for a while had to learn to configure such programs. Of course such programs don't work well on tablets and smaller screens. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

Often the case but neither Facebook nor especially Twitter need to be like that, it all depends who you are friends with on Facebook and who you follow on Twitter. My wife is on Facebook and she is friends with some relatives and a few real friends some of whom we had lost touch with a bit over the decades. Couple of the relative keep reposting (sharing) others posts which can be annoying but otherwise it's fine. It's a bit more difficult personally to un-friend someone on Facebook. With Twitter it's very easy to un-follow someone who is getting on your nerves as some have with me because they post too many times each day or post pointless chatter. I follow various nurseries, the RHS, RBG Kew, Latour-Marliac and some similar organisations and get some interesting info and links from them. You just have to be circumspect in who you befriend/follow. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

I don't use Facebook much but there is one of my "friends" who posts a dozen or more soppy messages every day and I would rather not have Facebook telling me this!

You can turn off notifications, and you can 'unfollow' people, so that their posts don't appear in your newsfeed (without un-friending them). |

"To unfriend someone: Go to that person's profile Hover over the Friends button at the top of their profile Select Unfriend Note: If you choose to unfriend someone, you'll be removed from that person's friends list as well. If you want to be friends with this person again, you'll need to send a new friend request. " They also say that they, the ex-friend, will not get a specific notification only that you will be removed from their "friend" list too. So if they happen to notice and kick up about it you can always plead ignorance, "how did that happen?" :-) -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
