The Caravan Club is coming to Facebook

 

Or do I have to create a completely false personna just to access Facebook so I can keep informed about the activities of a Club of which I pay to be a member?  Either way - another poor show.

A heck of a lot of people do.

Not a lot different from CT then!

surely exactly the same. you choose how much or how little you input and hence reveal. Not 100 % sure what the concerns are. 

My preference is to reveal 0% on Facebook. Hence why I have no intention of joining. If it becomes the only online avenue for the club, then I guess we won't be comunicating.

My sentements entirely Steve....

So if you create a profile Stevel and do not put anything in but read the club posts what is the problem? You have revealed nothing. In fact you have revealed a lot more on CT with your picture and posts. CT is a public forum just the same.

Not knocking I just really don't understand.

Much as we knock CT and the clubs IT systems, if it comes to choosing who I trust with my information FB lose every time. Please don't say it's up to me how much I reveal because the very act of logging on reveals a lot to those who are keen to harvest information about us. It's naive to think otherwise.

It would rather one way communication, if that was all I did. However, even that involves giving FB more than I would be comfortable with.

Because FB data harvest and sell it on no matter what settings you have set up 

It how they make their money 

Well done the club for opening up another channel of communications, don't ever recall seeing  that they will be considering stopping CT, FB is a means of communication that many people use and have no problem with it. It's very simple you use it or you dont, and it's rather insulting that some members of this forum think there are superior to suggest that they are some of the sensible people who don't use it.
