Facebook No More

To the friends of The SOG City Oracle:

I no longer have a Facebook presence. It was one thing to delete my account in error, but not importing my blog posts was another. The whole reason for creating a Facebook account was to give my readers a more convenient way to get to the Oracle. Facebook defeated that purpose.

In addition, their support team was pretty much useless. The latest email from them said that before they could address the importing issue that I would have to do a screen capture and send the picture to them so that they could see the problem. I could do a screen capture, but of what? I would be sending them a still picture showing nothing happening. There were no error messages - there was just a lot of nothing.

I also found myself devoting way too much time trying to work with Facebook. It wasn't worth it.

I hope the friends of the Oracle will keep reading. I am grateful for your loyalty.

  2. Thanks Jeff.

    It was a good idea and for a short time it worked perfectly. Facebook appears to be going through some changes and I just hit them at the wrong time.

    I may try again sometime in the future. Distant future.

  3. I don't think you're missing anything. I link to all of my blog posts on Facebook and I don't see increased traffic from it. All of us loyal followers will still be here!
