I get that totally. I guess my comment is more about the fact that these companies are alienating a minority of people who don't choose to be involved in FB. I see it more and more, not just polls or in this particular case. I can see a day when software updates and such are available exclusively through FB and no other means because "Everybody's on Facebook!!" The internet is becoming FB-centric at the exclusion of those who don't want to join for perfectly valid non-luddite reasons.Gravity Jim wrote:I'll state again, it's not a "like us" mentality. For better or worse (the utterly p ointless debate n that subject can rage on betweeen the digi-geeks and the neo-luddites forever without any effect on the March of Progress), social media like Facebook has become a big part of advertising, and in this case SOS doesn't care how many votes each software program gets: they are only interested in how many votes the POLL gets, because they're gauging whether or not they are engaging their "friends.". That's why the poll isn't on their website. They want to know if Facebook is working for them.
