princefakhan,

I think it's great that you are so enthusiast about spreading the word about maemo/n900 to other platforms. However I have to agreed with some of what other have said about choosing not being on social networks. Which like you mention, you may been focusing on the folk who are on it.

I'd like to add though, my observations on the Facebook effect from other forums I've participated on. I found that over time Facebook became detrimental to the forum in question. Because of it convenience people slowly stop posting the latest news or important info on the forums. And soon the forum became a hollowed shell of it former self. This I believe would be a huge blow to TMO/maemo/mobile linux development and idea sharing.

Lately I don't pretend to speak for anyone except myself, but it does seem silly to help support a corporate proprietary system of communication, who's privacy ethic are constantly call into question .... when folk here have spent time, energy and resources maintaining this site after nokia released it to us users.

So please don't take this as attack on what I see as you being excited to grow the maemo base on Facebook, it more of we have to be careful not to give control over our voice to corporation who WILL NOT have our best interest at heart.

Thanks, and thanks to all that continue to use and support this forum!!
