Facebook is for keeping in touch with people you don't often see. I don't have anyone on there that I wouldn't happily have a beer with in real life. I rarely post anything on there myself. 

Yeah that's how I treat it. I deleted mine years ago and started a new one with only people I know well or am related to on there. It was really odd being blanked by people in the gym then having them send you birthday greetings a few weeks later. 

 

I think a lot of people did that once they got over the initial excitement of the concept. I don't like the structure of Facebook now in the sense that it's essentially an advertising platform. Used to be that you'd get a wall of updates from people moving in real time, now I can see an update someone did last Tuesday, which I've already read, interspaced by ads, ads and more ads.

There are adblockers for facebook such as SocialFixer and Facebook Purity.

NZ company that. Based just down the road from here in Levin. 

 

Their raspberry choc log is a thing of beauty.

What is Whittaker's stuff like? They used to sponsor some touring cars and I've always wanted to try some as a result. Mainly as the Robbie Francevic Sierra they sponsored looked supoib.
