I have just noticed the new icons at the bottom of the page and decided to press them...i'm just a quwrazy guy hey!...anyhow they seem to all pertain to various similar bookmark/ tracking services. Do we need these? are they yet more nonsense foisted on us by Google? Is it yet something else to help fund the site?
I may just be a suspicious Meldrew who should just catch up with these teckonological innovations, but should I be signing up for this sort of service? will I receive yet more spam as a result? or will my life be vastly improved if I take the dip...I suspect not. After all, I worry about security in a week when I understand the govn't have mislaid my wife's bank details.
In earlier days,one of the great joys of communicating by e-mail and text was its non intrusive nature. Now I find I am bombarded with spam offering me penis enhancing pills, watches, software, ringtones... blah di blah. sometimes 50 a day get past the filters... through these I must wade before I can find my mail. I have had to switch to G-mail but find it difficult to change my business e-mail.
Fortunately I have not had to change my phone no. like bubblewrap (preference service worked for us) but I do HATE being bombarded with offers to support companies with whom I hold basic ethical differences. I don't agree with this 'chuck it out and get new' consumer frenzy that seems to have a stranglehold on our society. and I certainly don't wish to be force fed a diet of advertising pap like some fois gras goose.
Come on people don't accept this here!
My point is I would rather pay a subscription to this site, over and above the magazine one,than each time I log on finding yet more ways of third parties hawking their tenuously linked wares and services through yet more channels, pop-ups, cookies Icons etc. I really feel like signing off... and shall be if this continues.
