When enough friends are enough
It is well-known that while Outsider may have reluctantly embraced the interwebs, he has long eschewed anything to do with Facebook.
Why? Because Outsider has enough friends and the sorts of friends he has don’t communicate on Facebook and nor would they be his friends if they actually did.
Has this proved to be a handicap to Outsider, you ask? Well, no. In fact, he has been sitting back and smugly enjoying the recent travails of Facebook founder and awfully rich American chappie, Mark Zuckerberg who, apparently, has only recently grown to understand the importance of protecting people’s privacy, including the 87 million people impacted by Cambridge Analytica.
Mr Zuckerberg’s recent mea culpas seem genuine enough, but Outsider wonders whether they might also have something to do with the large number of institutional investors which have removed his company from their investment portfolios. Money talks and that may equate to a Facebook ‘unlike’.
The truth is that Outsider has been known to use ‘wrinkly Facebook’, better known to some as Linkedin.
