Title: How to add the OzSTOC Facebook page to your Facebook Favorites
Post by: Sabie on August 26, 2012, 11:46:11 PM: :CB-- OK one for the OzSOC Computer Geeks and Facebook Tragics
How to add the OzSTOC Facebook Page to your Favorites list in Facebook

1. Go to http://www.facebook.com/bookmarks/lists (http://www.facebook.com/bookmarks/lists)

2. Click on Create a List at the top of the page

3. Name the list “OzSTOC" or whatever you like or, remember you can add other "Facebook Pages" if you would like. If so then name it something meaningful for the topic. Hit “create list.”

4. Click “add friends” on the page you get. When that window opens, click the little box that says “friends” and drop it down to “pages.” Use the search box to pull up The OzSTOC and other pages you’d like to view with this list. Please note: Only pages that you already “like” will show up.

5. Hit “save.”

6. The list will now appear in your lefthand navigation below “favorites,” “groups,” and “apps.”

7. Move your mouse over the list name and pencil will appear to the left of it.

8. Click on “Add to Favorites” and this list pages will now be easily accessible and you’ll be able to see when there are new posts on it.

9. If you JUST want the OzSTOC on that list, that’s fine! You can have as many "Facebook Pages" added to favorites as you want.

I hope that helps anyone who wants to keep trackof the OzSTOC Facebook page without having togo searching for it each time. :thumbsup

Post by: Whizz on August 27, 2012, 04:10:38 PM: I wouldn't get into Facebook if it were the last place on the Internet, and that goes for Twitter and all the other similar sources of intrusion in your life. I completely fail to understand the fascination in telling total strangers what I had for breakfast, or what colour jocks I have on today, and any possible benefits involved in putting your life on the Internet cannot possibly justify the level of risk that comes hand-in-glove with it.

Sorry, as far as I'm concerned Facebook and it's ilk will never get my sucked in.

Title: Re: OzSTOC Facebook....
Post by: Sabie on August 27, 2012, 06:03:05 PM: Hey Whiz,

We're not all 12 years old. Facebook does indeed have benefits if used properly just like email and this forum do. It's a communication tool that has in my opinion been over run. The organization I work for (which is an emergency service) use it as one of many tools at our disposal to alert the public in times of emergencies. You'd be surprised at how many people respond to it.

But having said that, I undstand where your coming from. We need to understand the younger generation are doing a similar thing we used and talk sh?t down the pub with our mates. Young people use a different medium.

Cheers whizz. :)

Post by: Streak on August 27, 2012, 07:08:08 PM: the personal side of face i dont get into so much, but it has transformed how i promote firstly my business, and also OzSTOC.

You all would be surprised how many members we have that have found is through Social Media, I have got us media promotion through magazines by firstly posting on and then contacting them through their social media pages.

But I will go on record as saying, it is just an avenue to promote the group, it is there if you use facebook to like our page, if you are not interested, it is perfectly ok.

for example i have shared the very good video that Brett posted about safe riding, it is all about spreading the word!

if everyone always did the same thing the world would be a boring place......

cheers

It's a case of take it or leave it, and if you leave it, hey that's fine. To each his own, and that's what make this country great. You can agree to disagree and still be mates. If whizz and Yorkie don't use Facebook that's no problem. But their here on OzSTOC to put in their 2 cents worth and that's what counts, good onya guys.

Post by: alans1100 on August 27, 2012, 08:50:43 PM: We went to facebook just to keep in touch with family etc. Heather has added video to hers and have video chat with her sisters. Though even among some family members discretion should still apply and not everything should be out there for all to see so I tend to use a PM for that.

Putting things like the ride to the border etc I'll put on my page and it will save me telling the same thing over and over...lol

H3NDO, mate, just because Yorkie and I are the same age doesn't necessarily mean we don't understand 'new technology', :rofl between myself and my wife we have three desktop computers, two laptops, 6GB of Network Attached Storage, two iPads, and two iPhones, all with high-speed broadband internet access; I have a 500GB download limit a month and use most of it, and I run a small software development company. :CB--

My first computer was a TRS-80 which pre-dated the Commodore 64. It had a whole 16KB of ram and a tape drive to load software, and my first hard-drive was the size of a besser block and had an amazing 10MB of storage!

My point was that I can't see the point of Facebook and it's clones, and that it's risks, for me, outweigh any usefulness that I can see, but I was simply stating my own opinion, and I respect your right to express yours, if you like it fine, I don't.

Please don't take this as criticism 'cause it isn't meant that way, I simply don't see useful purpose for it, that's all. Now :beer and :popcorn on the other hand, now there I can see usefulness!! :thumbs :hatwave

Make friends with all these people find out everything about em. Be introduced to their friends. Over time find out where they all live. They tell me what their doing, when their doing it, when their going away, when their going on holidays.
Bloody excellent.
Me thinks Face Book is just the best, if I'm a thief.
Title: Re: OzSTOC Facebook....
Post by: Marcus on August 28, 2012, 09:03:32 AM: If you set your security correctly. No one except the people You choose will be able to see your page.

Unfortunately the news stories to read and hear about 500 people turning up to someone's house because he posted it on FaceBook is because the little kiddies don't bother setting up their pages correctly and befriend EVERYONE, because to them it all about how many "friends" they have.

For the Rest of us a FaceBook page is about staying connected to friends who have moved away, sharing you experiences and life moments with the people you love.

Some people may find this boring...

Back when you had "Slide Nights" of someone's holiday I'm dam sure you would have liked to slit your wrists second slide into 200 odd.

Also with the chat and video feature, It's cheaper that a long distance phone call.

So in my opinion. FaceBook has it's place, if done right.
Title: Re: OzSTOC Facebook....
Post by: terrydj on August 28, 2012, 02:14:48 PM: "True Story"'
So this bloke I met once who's mate wanted a new "PR" chick does the interviews and it comes down to 2 fine young ladies. He can't choose between them for the job so his secretary says check their Facebook Page. Soooooooooooo he gets the bloke that does things, cracks her/their so called Facebook security/password caper and ??? Bingo knows who he wants.

So yeah Facebook does have security, but only security for those that don't know how to breach it.

Ahhhh but then the above story might be only make believe :think1

Post by: Marcus on August 28, 2012, 02:50:12 PM: I call BS. For starters that's illegal.

And if anyone uses easy to guess passwords then they deserve to be hacked.

(On a side note I had to get into my router the other week and tried all the usual passwords I use, only to discover I forgot to set it on on the router and was using the default "password" as the password...problem solved)

Passwords.....if they can crack your Facebook password then they can do the same for your email, your OzSTOC account.... So how do we know that's really you Terry. You might just be some hacker who's hacked into Terry's account......

So what have you done with Terry you hacker you...... :well

Your quite right.
I mean fancy someone doing something thats illegal.
By the way I have a mate in Nigeria who's a lawyer and needs someone in Australia who can send him some bank account details so he can put 20 million in it for them??? so if your interested let me know.
Ahhhh but wait thats against the law so I as well call BS.

All well and good Marcus right up until one of your "friends" tells all there "friends" you are going away on a fortnights holiday......
So once again everyone now knows your going away.
Title: Re: OzSTOC Facebook....
Post by: Streak on September 05, 2012, 08:43:58 AM: OzSTOC Facebook is here for everyone to post photo's on, keep in the loop with what is going on around the traps, and be another conduit for people to find us :) (with a 145 likes, and aimed directly at ST riders it is a good number).

So it is not here to be a negative, it is here as a positive way for the people that use it, I myself do not have a personal Facebook profile, but i use it for driving OzSTOC forward, and also it is a large part of promoting the Retail arm of Hip Pocket.

we can offer every theory in the world why we should or should not use it, but fact of life, it has 955 million users, it is here to stay.

we could all spend some more time being a little more positive and not looking for the negative in everything :beer

(my two cents, if you don't want people to know your going away don't post it)

Sound idea that STreak.
Just remember not to tell your own kids that your going away as well though. You don't want them telling their "friends" do you... :|||| :rofl

As Marcus says be careful with face book and it's an all right handy tool. I visit facebook but don't "use" it, as in I don't post.
Title: Re: OzSTOC Facebook....
Post by: Sabie on September 05, 2012, 07:33:58 PM: I'd go so far as to not tell the wife too. Either leave her at home or blind fold her for the entire trip.

Post by: tremarg on September 05, 2012, 07:34:35 PM: Have been watching this one for a while now and kept myself at arms length. I must say that this topic has certainly created some passionate discussion.
My thoughts are simple on the subject. Technology in general has helped society, in this case, OSTOC as in forums, website and now Facebook. Personally I do not use Facebook for no other reason than I do not have the time. The only time I get agro with the use of this or any other technology, is when it interupts any conversation, you know the "technology" that is built into everyone, I may be having with someone or a group of people. That really gets me going.
To whoever set this up, thanks for the effort.

I liked the page,,, for me,,,I use FB to keep in touch wiv family and friends worldwide or 'just up the road'. 160 friends,mostly relo's & I dont accept friend requests unless I know or want to know then. during 2012, on treatment and not able to function well, isolated (almost), facebook "chat" and the internet made it easy :'( when the meds kicked in.

Post by: RexJ on November 15, 2013, 11:09:29 PM: Facebook is just a little global coffee table to sit and watch the world go by with the ones you want to have at the table.

I've got family all over the place and we've got to see & share more of each others live just by logging on and having a look on Facebook.

You don't leave your doors open at home, your wallet on the front verandah and your kids in the shopping centres unattended in real life.

Facebook's no different. Be careful.

As Jerry Seinfeld said about his T V show -'It's really just a little show about nothing to most.'

So is Facebook.
Title: Re: OzSTOC Facebook....
Post by: Sabie on November 16, 2013, 01:04:46 AM: Exactly Rex, we have kids and Grandkids all over the place and it's a wonderful way of staying in touch, seeing photos and videos of the Grandkids we don't see often enough.

Make sure your security settings are high and I don't have any Facebook friends that I don't personally know, other than groups or organisations that I follow.

Not sure if they're deleted but moved. Facebook changes that often it's hard to keep up.

On the left menu select posts and on the RH side of the page you should see "Visitors Posts" Select the heading and scroll down the posts.

Post by: ST2UP on August 24, 2017, 09:37:53 AM: Here is the basic way to use the OzSTOC Facebook group for those who don't want to use all the annoyances of the rest of FB. :thumbsup

Step 1: Set this link as a favorite on your desktop or taskbar on your pc, (you can also set it as a button on your smart phone) https://www.facebook.com/groups/ozstocgroup/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ozstocgroup/)

Step 2: Using the link and logging in, it will take you straight to the group, and you don't have to think about the rest of it (it is like the forum, there is a huge part of it we don't use, we use the part we want to)

Step 3: Use the group, you can simply post up a thread or comment the same as the forum, you can share a link from the forum to the group as well, they work in kind pretty well.

Step 4: if you are struggling, and want some tips and help, or help to simply sign up to Facebook, Streak is happy to help you 0488 385 858, or send him a pm.

Step 5: Don't be daunted by it, 3/5 people in the world now have a FB account, the security settings are there so your account can be locked down as tight as you would like it, once again Streak can help you do that.

Side note: 3 mediums of OzSTOC, OzSTOC has the FORUM first and foremost, it has a Facebook PAGE (which we have had for years) that acts like the front page of a newspaper, where announcements get put, works similar to the front page of website, the Facebook GROUP acts like the forum, but is a simpler quicker more socially interactive way to use it, it is not the best place to post a technical work though of something you built, bought or did.

FACT we have become quieter, and less contributions on the forum, many of these wonderful people of OzSTOC are still here, but they post about what they are doing on social media, as it is simple, no need for 3rd party image hosting, so rather than close our minds and lose those good people this is away to keep them involved and part of this wonderful group of people, you choose which one you use or both, we are working for the longevity of OzSTOC, all we ask is everyone to have an open mind and understand this is about being an inclusive group and catering to the needs of the many.

We are giving you choices....how and if, you use them is up to you ;-*
