Wednesday, I participated in Facebook’s meeting with conservatives at the company’s headquarters in Silicon Valley.
Even though I did the round trip in a little more than 24 hours, the West Coast feels a long way away from New York City. Geographically and culturally.

Anything that little Bushbot spews goes right in my trash file!
Right after Mr. Trump announced, I posted something on face book, and it was immediately removed...there is no way you can ‘do away with’ face book, so I removed everything, every post, every picture, none of me or my family, and called my friends and told them don’t post, because I’m not there anymore...
I wouldn’t take the time of day to post anything on that garbage site...I left AOL for the same reasons...
I am on twitter with a few people, but other than that, it’s nothing but a communistic garbage pail....

Mark Zuckerberg is sparking outrage among Chinese dissidents who accuse the Facebook CEO of brownnosing Beijing after Zuckerberg reportedly urged employees to read a new book of speeches by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
that the opinions of the participants in that discussion varied widely (from specific complaints about breaking stories to complaints about the terms of use/zotting/banning criteria);The resolution, he implied but did not say, would rest on FB having the honor to do something out of good will.that at present there is no other game in town and that gives FB a lot of power;
and that conservatives as a group are unlikely to use the techniques leftists use to force a private business to change its ways, i.e. court rulings, legislation or organized boycotts of individuals.
Lots of luck with that!
What a cheap political whore.
As to the article,
“Facebook clearly lacks conservative staffers” while at the same time, saying this discussion should have happened a long time ago, tells me Facebook knew their employees were mostly leftist but chose to ignore it until some whistleblowers came along.
Disclosure ... I do not use Facebook and have no intention for doing so.
what does she want... a medal..??
this midwest twit is another self important zero
FB is an obama propaganda operative and this jerk thinks a meeting changes that..??
“Top conservatives Beck and PeRino,was Bill Krystal busy?”

Well, at least Dana didn’t kick the living crap out of the other “conservatives” at the table like Beck did or kissy, kissy, smoochy, smoochy up to Zuckerberg like Beck also did.
Sorry, your account is too new to use this feature
Problem is, conservatives are outnumbered on the web and also conservatives tend to be not as tech savvy. Most of my "facebook friends" are family and more than half are millennials.
I think a viable replacement would have to be along the lines of family as opposed to being all about the self (image).
The economy is forcing multiple generations to live together once again. Time to leverage that since the whole family unit thing is under attack. With ancestry/genealogy being fairly popular, the "family" gets pretty big. My sister's into genealogy and I've learned about cousins I didn't know I had, though I still know nothing about them. It's somewhat likely though that my line of thinking wouldn't be too far off from theirs. I would think some kind of system based on family could be made and instead of being like facebook where "friend suggestions" are based on other friend's friends, it could be based on familial relations. Familysearch.com has an API for accessing genealogical data and that could be used for friend suggestions I think. Not sure if it can be used without ending up as advertising for them though. If not, some sort of data sources and algorithm could be made to suggest friends based on surname and geographical location or other collected data. (google has it all)
All that would be pretty complex though but at least an emphasis on family would be better than freaks and fads. The internet is good for bridging distances. Imagine having a family with 100 members. Security/share settings based on immediate or extended family etc. Then of course people could add people based on "friend of the family" or "like family". That way you're not locking people out because they have no family.
Blood is thicker than water
Post her ‘Lost on FuSSSBook’ flyer in all the 5 and Dime stores,, NO reward. :-)
Any new version of Fakebook would need to incorporate the ideas you suggest -- family relationships among them -- to be successful, especially if it was being targeted toward conservatives.
But I disagree with your statement that conservatives are not tech savvy. The internet has enabled a lot of conservative thought, and like talk radio, it has become a vessel through which like ideologies can connect.
Dana ‘Frozen Forehead’ Botox-Queen Perino has spoken. No one is listening.
I probably should have said rural people tend to be less tech savvy and of course also tend to be conservative. I’m in rural MO and most men my age, 50, don’t even know how to use a computer unless it happens to be part of their job. Of course most of the 35 and younger crowd do know how to surf at least.
It’s true though that since the 2008, conservatives have come a long way on the internet. A lot of it has to do with the msm alienating them I think.
