Good if you have a few people like a walking group or something and want to be able to contact them all at once.

I know that you can do all that, I watch the children doing that.(I lumped it in with social media for convenience) I was just saying that these apps/sites do not appeal to me.
I am the wrong generation for all of that.
They are the way that younger folk keep in touch.

Thanks for this site, just found out the local labour counsellor is against gay marriage and always voted for higher tuition fees

They are for keeping people in touch, age has nothing to do with it

So, your post said WhatsApp is not social media, but it is isn't it?

I don't think so no, it's a personal messaging app

And as such, the Military (or what's left of it) should be brought in to assist the local constabulary. Just like in NI through the "troubles" in the 70's. 80's & 90's, after making the acquaintance with a few lumping great rubber bullets & an Infantry section "Snatch Squad" the gob-sheites would quickly learn the error of their ways!

Stuff rubber bullets, give them live ammo and cull every single one of them

Age has everything to do with it Neil.
You see most young folk welded to their smart phones.
I can keep in touch without being on FB, twitter or Whatsapp.
I use e-mails, I talk on the phone and the best of all is sitting down face to face with a nice cuppa...you can't beat keeping in touch like that.
