Hello family.
Remember me?
I got co-opted by Facebook like so many others.
Well, they are offline this morning, and I am seeking life elsewhere.
Twitter is buckling under the pressure of the wave of "homeless" users.
My focus is going into LinkedIn and here on VO-BB.
It's time I remember where I came from...

Hope everyone's well and enjoying a Social Media fasting like I am today.

George

The temporary closing of the Book of Faces is an inconvenience in that my wife's only communication means through her work is Facebook Messenger. The mass hand-wringing is fascinating to watch. I wonder how many people reflexively tried to go onto Facebook to say that Facebook was down.

If Facebook ends up being dead, or at least heavily neutered, I hope people will come here to the VO-BB to get their voice over chats and Yayas. Feel free to spread the word that we have nothing to do with algorithms or Zuckerberg.

I will, Bruce!
I have to market there, but I don't have to LIVE there...

I just emailed my 2200+ email subscribers, all voice actors, and invited them to VO-BB.

... and it reminded me that I really should drop by here more than say, once a year. lol

Thanks for the nudge, George! I hope everyone's been doing really well! And actually ... my day has been remarkably less stressful in the wake of Facebook's downtime. I've enjoyed my own downtime from Facebook. Smile

I do Twitter more but for less, if that makes sense.

This is home and is simply more, better more.

I can't accurately answer the survey because several answers apply and the radio style buttons allow only one choice.

But if I have to pick just one, VO-BB is always my home. I missed the Facebook outage because I was driving all day, from the La Quinta in NJ, where I stayed for Uncle Roy's BBQ, all the way to south Florida (about 1250 miles).

I hope you had an awesome time, Lee! I so wish I could have been there. It sucks that the land border is still closed between the US & Canada. :(

hi george -- and all the other wayward vo souls!

We did, indeed, have an awesome time, despite the absence of you, Bev, and all our other friends from the Great White North. Hopefully next year (10/8/22) for sure.

I don't have a good answer for this, either. I don't tweet and I always check in here but don't always interact (have been trying to do that better). This is a happy place. A place of acceptance and love and friends. And why hasn't anyone brought cake lately?!!?
