It's interesting how much of a grip #facebook has on the need to use it to share stuff! FB's intrusion into the 2016 USA Elections and Data Harvesting was the end for me so I published an alternative called #FriendsLive to provide a safe space for close friends and family to share and stay in touch without algorithms, targeted ads etc... Everything that makes #Zuckerberg money. Excuse for friends to not join?... 'But everyone is on FB!' Duh!... Then bring your Real Friends with you!

For anyone who has lived in Durban through the 80's and early 90's, you might be interested in a Group on #FriendsLive dedicated to the work of the Urban Design Team. We were tasked with regenerating the CBD and Beachfront areas in readiness for a #post-apartheid #SouthAfrica https://friendslive.uk/

If like me, you've dumped #facebook but would like a much quieter place to share with your closest Friends and Family, then you are more than welcome to join me on #FriendsLive. Share, Chat and send Private Messages. Create a Special Interest Group but most importantly, Invite your Friends. Its a Real Friends Social Network! https://friendslive.uk/about #AlternativeToFacebook #SocialMedia #MadeInScotland

Its #WinterSolstice and Dark and Wet here in #Scotland! Why not join me in the 'Friends of the Dordogne' Group on the refreshingly new #FriendsLive and remind ourselves just how beautiful the Dordogne is and wish to be there next year! https://friendslive.net #dordogne #domme #sarlat #france #camping #motorhome #caravan #bergerac #wine #malbec #lotvalley #dordognevalley #friendsofthedordogne
