[meteorite-list] Awfully quiet

[Greg Hupé]

Perfectly stated, Martin!
Facebook really has been a wonderful place for instant personal & business 
'socializing' and sharing of; info, photos, cat pics & videos, experiences 
at the moment, offers of mets, and anything you can imagine! There are about 
a dozen top meteorite groups where a majority of the meteorite community 
frequent to share images, sales, experiences, grievances, eBay issues and 
anything meteorite related... Heck, even 'recipes' to stabilize rust 
issues... ;-)

Best Regards,
Greg

Hi Bernd, Tracy, all.

Most of my meteorite related chat now occurs via Facebook and this is
what i observe from many others too. Numerous people within our
meteorite community who were regular posters here on the metlist i now
see posting daily in the various facebook groups and forums. I know
it's not for everyone but i for one would certainly feel as if i was
missing out on the latest meteorite news and chat if I were not on
Facebook.

I have done quite a few posts over the last year where i have
submitted the same post via various different forums and plarforms to
try and see which generated the most conversation and i have to say
Facebook won by huge margins every single time.

Hope to see you on there maybe Bernd? Your experience and knowledge
would be hugely beneficial to everyone there :-)

Kind regards

Martin
