Facebook is omnipresent and it seems all but omnipotent! An essential read.
It’s some time since I launched “Jazzers”, my Facebook Jazzers Group, to support Jazz&Jazz in hopes of attracting more jazz fans to follow this site. So far with little avail. It seems Facebook has so forcefully cornered the market that jazz fans and musicians far prefer to follow me on my Facebook Jazzers Group than here on my Jazz&Jazz website, despite easy links to regular features posted here on Jazz&Jazz.
Repeated pleas to my Facebook followers to make their comments in “Speak Your Mind” below each entry posted here on Jazz&Jazz, rather than add their comments on the Facebook links, are disregarded. Despite the fact that here on Jazz&Jazz their opinions and exchanges of views can be far more relevant, weightier and effective.
Much easier to post comments on Facebook? Not so compared with using “Speak Your Mind”. For instance, you can give your views on this appeal in “Speak Your Mind” at the foot of this page. Frequently comments posted on “Speak Your Mind” lead to exchanges of opinions. Surely better than responding on Facebook where views and opinions quickly sink down the list into a
maelstrom of oblivion.
So why not go for it! Forget Facebook – or rather follow the links I place on Facebook and comment in “Speak Your Mind” here on jazz&jazz.com.
