    Google plus is shaping up to be a good alternative. Depends what you want to use it for really.

    Don't take this lack of reaction too personally please- your friends may have noticed that you've gone and though that you've defriended them!
    I sometimes notice that I have fewer FB friends than I used to; usually I can't work out who's dropped off :o but when they reactivate my friend count goes up again.
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    I got an email from FB last week saying they were cutting down on the emails sent out - since then I have had at least 5 FB personal messages sent to me, but not a sniff of an email!

    So it seems you have to log in, in order to catch up!

    Apparently you can change your settings so that you still get emails...

    Hi there,
    This one looks quite good, I signed up when it started but haven't had a chance to look round properly really. Looks good for hobbies and connecting with people who share your hobbies.

    Just keep passing the open windows.
