Atheist - // Andy: "It may well be an age thing - I am happy to communicate face to face and by phone, by e-mail for work, but I have no desire at all to spend time typing messages to, and receiving messages from people I don't actually know. "
Surely that's what you do every day isn't it? Still, perhaps you do it without having a desire to do it, i.e. you do it as a public duty. //
You are right, but I have never seen AB as 'social media' even though I accept that it is considered as such.
But you have to remember, I've been with the site since 2000, and originally I was employed as a professional writer - it was nothing like it is now.
To me, there was AB, and then come-laters like Facebook and Twitter have grown up around it.
It's a bit like AB being the Tower Of London and Facebook being the Millennium Dome - one has history.
