[Leica] Critiques

[Sonny Carter]

I don't think numbers of potential lookers are higher on Facebook; not unless you have developed a following.  If you have a bunch of friends, your stuff doesn't always go to them. The algorithm of who sees a picture among your friends is complicated.  If you have followers, they're more likely to get your picture than friends who don't like or comment.

I also get more feedback on Facebook than here, but it is probably because I rarely post feedback here unless I think I have something to say, and on the LUG you don't get it if you don't give it.

The place I get the most return is among my email list, mostly people who were on the Archivist list, before they went all business. 

One woman, a federal employee in Alaska, thanks me and comments on every single picture I post.  Even Kathy doesn't do that.  ;-)

Wonder if anyone will comment on this posting?

I often find that I run down a list clicking the ‘Like’ button on several within a few seconds. Most of the responses on FB are quite meaningless really in my mind.
