I'll have to agree with Greg.
The French Forum is rather quiet too, except for our "Name that Meteorite" game.
Certainly Social Media Overload.

There are still people talking but there is nothing really new to talk about, no new Fall, no new discoveries.
So a bit of peace and quiet.

Hi Bernd, Tracy, all.

Most of my meteorite related chat now occurs via Facebook
and this is
what i observe from many others too. Numerous people within
our
meteorite community who were regular posters here on the metlist i now
see
posting daily in the various facebook groups and forums. I know
it's not for
everyone but i for one would certainly feel as if i was
missing out on the
latest meteorite news and chat if I were not on
Facebook.

I have done quite a
few posts over the last year where i have
submitted the same post via various
different forums and plarforms to
try and see which generated the most
conversation and i have to say
Facebook won by huge margins every single
time.

Hope to see you on there maybe Bernd? Your experience and knowledge
would
be hugely beneficial to everyone there :-)

Kind regards

Martin
