I see FB as being complementary to BXC not in competition.
I am on FB but feel it has become too all encompassing, selling our details albeit anonymously while the forum is a private place relatively. Using FB may be easier and more simple I suppose but I know which one I actually prefer and as far as convenience is concerned I do not enjoy at all pratting about with a pokey android device to do things and I still use PCs/laptops for home use for the many things that I use my PCs for.
Agreed with the first and second points.
The 'security' bit - the only way to remain anonymous on the internet is to not use it. Pretty much everything stores and gives away your data. I've learned to not care, it's the easiest way. I don't live in secret - if someone wants to find me, they've only got to write down my number plate as I drive past
At the end of the FB is a free service, so if you're not paying for it, you're what's being sold. That goes for everything that purports to be 'free'.
As for the Android bit, most websites are easier on a PC or something, yes. But I tried taking my PC into the dentist's waiting room with me, and got funny looks
Oh and multitasking with the Bxclub on FB at the same time...
