Facebook


My daughter lost her phone yesterday at Wellington Country Park in Berkshire.
How did I know, living in Yorkshire, well because the nice man who found it rang me?
Next problem, how to get hold of her. I looked at her Facebook page and noticed that someone who I didn't know had 'tagged' her in a photo. The photo was taken a few minutes beforehand at the country park. Then, by a process of contacting that person, who contacted other friends, finally got a message to my daughter and she got her phone back.
I'm still looking after her after all these years.

  1. Amazing!
    That's one good use of all the technology we are bombarded with these days.

  2. It's very impressive.
    But I take it that I am now the only warrior against Facebook and Twitter?
    It's a lonely life.

    1. I don't really use Facebook but I dislike Twitter a lot. You're not totally alone.

  3. No, Craig, you're not alone. I don't like either of them either. It strikes me as ironic that people complain about governments having too much information about them when they are only too willing to put very private stuff on Facebook.

    1. Thank God - I thought that I was all alone. I agree fully about information being out there. Often when I write a post I'll think "Am I giving out too much personal information here"?
