Inappropriate social media connection suggestions

[Drago]

We regularly catch up on the gossip over tea me and Vlad.

One polonium or two?

Facebook, Linked in, no doubt Instagram and Snapchat (and, for all I know Tinder and Grindr) throw up "people you may know" suggestions.

Inspired by this one (I feel dirty), what's the most inappropriate social media connection suggestion you've received?

I'm now playing a game of guess-which-friend-is-his-friend. I think I know.

Ah, the MP for 1876. And you move in his circles, and were prepared to boast about it on a public forum full of Marxist socialists? Good shot sir.

I don't know who he is. And i think i'm glad for it.

Off at an acute tangent: I dreamt the other night I was in a cafe/bar - daytime, early afternoon - about three or four other customers - I was sitting at the bar alone nursing a coffee across from the tv. And my, bloomin, Garmin sportswatch remotely connected to the tv, and showed a 'blue' movie i'd, apparently, downloaded. Nothing too 'blue', just mildly tittilating. I was panicking trying to stop it. Oh my goodness. It was an inappropriate social media connection of the second kind, i suppose.

A young pretty teenage model, I can't remember her name now, I ignored the suggestion, I'm old enough to be her granddad.

I don't know what What's App is either but I am curious about Twitter. I hardly ever post anything myself but I do show support for other tweets by liking them and/or reposting them. This has attracted 18 followers, none of whom I know. Why would they want want to follow all my retweets ? And if they are that indiscriminate presumably they are following loads of others, so they must see 100's of tweets a day - they can't read them all surely? I recently locked my profile so I now get the option of declining follower requests.

"One of my friends once knew him" is, I think, the correct phrase, and I did say that I feel dirty because of it. Several people on this forum seem to think I'm a Conservative anyway, so any right-on credibility I ever had is long gone.

As @CanucksTraveller says, he's the MP for 1876.

In fact unless he's currrently the prospective parliamentary candidate in the Conservative interest for some part of rural Somerset. Daddy was the editor of the Times, and he went to Eton and Oxford.

As well as being an absurd buffoon who'd like to turn the clock back to the golden age where the lower classes knew their place he's also an extreme right-winger, loudly supporting Brexit and Donald Trump.

I'm not on this Twotter or Fartbloke website things. I only learned what a Wotsapp was last night while talking to a young person.

Unfortunately it is becoming less of a choice

My employer puts out important stuff on Twitter

So we are expected to be on Twitter so we know and can make arrangements

Equally there is so much that cannot be joined without a FaceBook page, so again I have one.

However it makes it clear that the only reason it is there is for that reason and that I do not do groups or friends.

 

[Drago]

I wouldn't work for a firm that did that.

Until recently I ran a semi official SAR Twotter page, but another lad has taken it over from me because I couldn't update it every 9 seconds without a smart phone.

If you look at his profile, it tells you. Or it used to. Maybe if you click on his friends list, it'll put the mutual at the top. Unless you like the game.

Plenty of ways to do that without bending over and greasing up (or handing over your personal details, the information economy equivalent).

[QUOTE 4797128, member: 45"]WhatsApp can be really useful. We have a family group so that my dad can update his children every ten minutes of the score in his last bowling game, or a photo of his pub lunch, or to ask who's been messing with his PC or to ask what's wrong with his phone.[/QUOTE]
Likewise on our family WhatsApp group my children can now continue to bicker with each other whilst living in different parts of the country - the wonders of modern technology.

 

[TVC]

My family also use Whatsapp for arranging stuff and family business, it has replaced e-mails for us.

I use Watsapp a lot for messaging and speaking with agents and customers all over Africa. It's free and the sound quality is excellent. The only downside is that it's web-based so sometimes you'll be talking with somebody and your phone will ring.

Good call. At least Pol Pot is no more.
