Hello Grant,

yes well said, and true ... I only use what I like the rest I ignore ... but also things that I like change and become unusable for me ...

after I read your word ... this came to my mind ....

you have 4523 friends on Fakebook/Twister or now on the Hubb .... but you have forgotten who is a real friend, and what the word friend means.

sure I understand that you have to make as many users of your website as happy as you can, make it as popular as Fakebook/Twister and have all informations on the Hubb easily connectable/exchangable with this websites.

first they changed from 4 to 5 gears, than from points to electronic ignition and in the near future you cant ride a bike anymore without a black box that records where you go, how fast you go .... and all other details of your life ... and than they switch off your bike from a remote computer because you could miss your next flu shot appointment if you leave town .....

One day I will walk into a bar, the cctv camera on the road told the owner of the bar already that I am coming ... he can see on his monitor behind the bar, that I had two s in other bars in the last hour, that I did not pay for my health insurance in three months and also that in 1997 the police took my license for speeding. So I go to the bar and ask for a , the barman tells me, because of all the smilies drinking on my Hubb posts, he can not give me a , because his insurance would not cover me having an accident in his bar because I have a drinking record.

Yes, everybody has to decide when to stop supporting this so called developments....

My 2 p worth at 2.50 am about your words connecting with *friends*
