evolve [or devolve] in the time...

Sure they do. But first you print it out, then you take 20 near-
identical blurry camera-phone photos of the FAQ, then you post them
all on face book and tag them as "containing Dennis Ritchie"

Personally, I am not in facebook.

And I do not have any "linked-in", twitter,
or similar accounts.

Why should I give my personal information to corporations so that THEY
make money with MY data?

Please explain me that. I am probably too stupid to understand where
would be MY interest in the whole thing.

This is entirely off topic, but IMO the whole thread is. The reason
one creates and uses a Facebook account is not to enrich some
corporation, but rather to find and reconnect with old friends, and to
have a convenient forum in which to maintain those connections. I've
used it to find people I knew decades ago. The reason one has a
LinkedIn account is to facilitate professional networking, so that one
may more easily find an appropriate position, or a person to fill a
position. This is really quite simple, and should not be confusing.
The reason these companies exist and provide these services is to
enrich themselves. This also should not be confusing to you. I hope
I've helped you understand this. If you have no interest in these
networking tools, by all means skip them! Lots of people do, and IMO
it does them little if any harm.

Someone with no interest in C might just as well ask why they should
spend their time and effort on a language they have no interest in.

<requisite (sort of) on-topic> Kudos on lcc-win. I've downloaded and
tried out the package, and it's really quite well done.

I a sometimes use it as a medium of communication to keep in touch
with friends.
I don't know what you could use it for either.

When I want to keep in touch I:

o Phone my friends
o Drop by, have a talk
o We meet at a restaurant, movie, whatever

I use email sometimes, when they are far away, or Skype.

There are SO MANY communications ways now that it is difficult to
enumerate them all.

Why do people support facebook?

Well, because it is the fad of the day, that is. Tell that to
my son (17 years old).

He is in facebook all day (and night :-()


But maybe I am just too old to understand the new fads. :-)

Because Steve Summit owns the copyright.

There would be no problem posting a link to the FAQ on Facebook,
if there were any point in doing so.

Perhaps io_x was referring to some sort of FAQ for Facebook itself,
rather than the C FAQ.

I'm 18, and the two standard means of communication around here are
cellphone and facebook. We quite like the "Facebook Chat" feature, which
is basically a poorly implemented (JavaScript / AJAX) version of IRC
chatting. (Most often one-one-one chatting is used).

Most people I know (including me) are probably addicted enough to check
their facebook accounts at least twice everyday.

Sounds like you need therapy. Does your (or your parents') insurance cover
it?

Twice a *DAY*? I thought Facebook users usually tried (and often
failed) to limit checking for facebook messages less often than
twice a *MINUTE*.

I don't understand Facebook users either. I have an account because
some web fora authenticate to it. But I put pretty much nothing on my
Facebook account and I check it about twice a year.
