It's facebook. What a loss of an otherwise useful tool.

I remember when I first discovered Whatsapp, because I couldn't get cell phone reception underground where most of my college classes were...
I've very happy for your perseverance and success!

Not a loss per se but I'm not the only one in the circle of people I know who aren't keen on a "unified" experience that Facebook is seeking to provide (or necessarily giving Facebook visibility of all data!) and have started looking at alternative applications to do what WhatsApp was so wonderful at doing.Originally Posted by PainCorp

An airline made by an FTer, for FTers? I give 'em a year! LOL!Originally Posted by lhrsfo
Maybe he can buy an airline now, rather than complain about one like the rest of us.

i really do love flyertalk and still have those bright yellow flyertalk suitcase tags on my briggs and riley bag. (yeah, the same briggs and riley suitcase i bought after researching it here and getting feedback from you all
i'll tell you all a funny story which has to do with flyertalk: i am actually flying to Barcelona for MWC right now using the M&M miles award ticket (i am posting this from LH455 flight)... i obviously got these tickets many months ago - i prefer to fly using miles when i can to save company money. as you know, award ticket inventory is limited and last minute changes are nearly impossible... and this is where it gets cute:
we announced the deal with Facebook on wednesday after the market closed. during the process, we realized there was a chance we might not be able to get the deal wrapped up and signed on wednesday and it could delay.
when the risk of the delay became real, i said: "if we don't get it done on wednesday, it probably wont get done. i have tickets on thursday to fly out to Barcelona which i bought with miles and they are not easily refundable or even possible to change. this has to be done by wednesday or else!!!"
...and so one of the biggest deals in tech history had to be scheduled around my M&M award ticket

You're definitely an FTer at heart!

Best mileage story ever (move over pudding guy).
And it says so much about his character as well. ^
