Is Facebook killing Beoworld?

37 replies

I must confess that I haven't visited Beoworld in ages. Sorry about that...

In my case I tend to dive deep into a subject for a period of time, then lose interest. I still have all my B&O stuff of course, but I don't write or talk about them much anymore.

Instead I have been tinkering with wristwatches, even building a few of my own, mainly from chinese parts. It's a brilliant hobby, and it's much cheaper than B&O. Well, it could be expensive too, but I haven't gotten there yet. 😁

Anyway, I just wrote to let you know that I'm picking up a HDR1 this weekend. It will look great with my DVD1 and Beovision 6-26.

Edit: I spend way too much time on Facebook, by the way. Way too much...

I'm a big facebook fan (great at keeping in touch with people) but with the exception of posting the odd B&O Youtube video links to my Facebook page, I strictly keep B&O to Beoworld !

And like you Chris, I try and share any B&O advert etc amongst those we know at work. They still think we are mugs though! 2 amongst 500......,

I thought I was all alone in the world with not a friend to be had.

But no............I know that Steffen is out there with the same indifferences as me

I suppose I should be happy ........but it would be out of character!!

Now you know you're not alone. Don't be afraid to fall out of character πŸ˜• 😁

One day you may be known as Happy Grandad πŸ˜‚

Have never and will never use it.

Well as so many of my younger friends are on Facebook I have tried….. and tried and not only do I not understand the format and how to use it properly, if there is such a thing, I monumentally do NOT understand the need for all the one sentence sound-bites. And do we really need to know when someone visits the bathroom? I so we don’t. No - thumbs down

Facebook is not the oracle but where I post my "face".

I must read more than I post on Beoworld and enjoy the comfort of others enjoying B&O whilst not having to explain why I indulge in this wondrous brand.

I so agree with Grtaham on this - I joined FB only to have my sister post daft pictures of herself with her workmates at some chinese restaurant - this was then seen by everyone I work with - very embarrassing - and yes, if you haven't spoken to someone for a few years then there's a good reason for it.

Linkedin has been useful in finding ex work colleagues, but somehow the ever pushy IT Recruitment Companies are taking it over to bug me even more!

Beoworld, I hope will always have a place for people to meet and exchange views on our hobby/way of life
