Carol,
Uploading photographs is easy. When you start up Facebook, you should see at
the top of your newsfeed, a white space that contains the words “What’s on your
mind?” Along the bottom of the space are three icons labeled “LIve,” “Photo,”
and “Check-in.” On my iPad and iPhone clicking on the “Photo” icon opens my
photo collection. I tap on one or more photos to select them, then tap on
“Done” (in the upper right hand corner of the screen) to upload them. Facebook
uploads the photos, then gives me the option of adding text to the post before
I click “Save.” That’s all there is to it.

Ok, John. I'm convinced. I have no objections. If I had the patience to
figure out how to upload photos I'd probably have more patience for facebook.
Usually, though, I wind up feeling sadly excluded from all the travel, the
festivities. More distanced, emotionally. Common reaction, I hear, and
actually painful when I see the rare photo of my own grandchildren. (My age
is more disabling than I expected it to be, due to 50 years of rheumatoid
arthritis. Travel is no longer on my agenda.)
I guess we're moving!
Regards,
Carol

Carol,
I am not keen on FB. I am tied via FB to all sorts of people in multiple
networks around the world. Can’t expect them to move on my whim. Also, as I
pointed out, FB does have several advantages. For me the ease of uploading
images or video and the ability to edit or delete previous posts or comments
make FB more congenial than our current email format.
Privacy is not a big concern. I am old (turning 75 in August). I am not
worried about people knowing or posting scandalous things that might impact
my career. If II write foolish things, it is no big deal.
Besides, Facebook already allows the creation of closed groups, in which only
members can see what is posted.

Would anyone here be interested in moving lit-ideas to Facebook?
I’m not keen on FB. Will go along with whatever lit-id does. Hate to lose
this email format, though. And isn’t FB about to launch something like what
we already have here, in the name of privacy?
