Some like debating in various groups, others don't.

It's a fact that it has become the most popular internet media.

It seems odd not to use it, if there's something you do want to add your support to.

Many have joined up using a pseudonym, a well as deciding that they don't want to use it to share any personal information.

Joining need not be any different from signing on to add your supporrt to other online petitions.
belonging to Accyweb is as far as I want to go in social networking.
I just don't feel comfortable joining Facebook.....my daughter is on facebook so I have had a chance to see it in action.....and I just don't like it.......this is going to sound really daft, but I have no trust in the site.......especially after reading some of the antics that have gone on on facebook and not much seems to have been done about it......I'm talking about abusive messages on special remembrance sites....for the Welsh miners, and for young boys and girsl who have ended their own lives.
If that happened on Accyweb........I would leave.
I know we have our disagreements, but it feels like a 'family' disagreement....all families have them and you know that despite some harsh words you will still speak to each other.
Facebook might be a useful media tool, but not for me. Thanks, but No thanks!
