For me, initially I didn't really undrstand about what it meant that babble was linked to google. It does really open it up to alot of viewers very easily. I'm not that thrilled w/that even, but I could live w/it.
The internet is NOT private of course, but everytime you add a button/link to make it easier...well, then it just becomes more exposed.
The posters more exposed.
Personally, its not ONLY the buttons that bother me, as to how Bob went about it.
Not telling/warning anyone, just barging ahead.
Thats why I am not here mostly.
As far as babble being widely advertised, then it does lose its personalness. Its more a big crowd. I had a hard enuf time trying to keep up w/a smaller crowd, and I worried so much that people would feel left out. And I would check so much that all were included etc.
I don't have a hope in H of keeping up w/a large influx of new and passing thru people.
They won't know me either.
So while I like to be able to support and educate, I cannot get any real support here any longer 1. cuz its too open 2. cuz I would just be constantly overwhelmed by the number of people.
And judging by the twitter and the number of 'welcome' posts...its likely to be much busier.
Babble has UTTERLY changed.
It is not the same place AT ALL.
Too bad,
I had some wonderful times here.
