Yes...fairly easy - I don't use Facebook either- don't want to know when people go shopping or use the bathroom
But Utube is quite easy and can be informative- just start with "Utube" in Google and go...have a great Sunday

that's funny...kinda...but I agree.
"YouTube" is very easy simply go to that site just as you do Yesterday tractor and you can watch any video there for free. That said you will need a good internet connection as videos take a lot of data to transfer so if you on old school dial up then it is still doable but unbearable slow.
Facebook is more difficult as you have to have an account to access it and you must pay "GoDaddy" a yearly fee for the a web domain name to even get an account so I do not have one either.

Billy,
That made me chuckle!
The whole "mass-friending" is why I closed my FB account.
About 4 years ago, I had opened one to be able to read stuff from daughter and from son's girlfriend too. Good grief, I had about a 80 "friends" in a matter of hours! Many from people whom I only have in my contact list due to my work... so I quickly decided to ditch FB and closed the account.

Type in the item or the part or the organization or the name etc. in your search box (Google, Bing or whatever you have)then after that type where you want to find results to your search.
Be it Facebook, eBay, YouTube, Craigslist, Kijiji etc.
Examples you can try;
Dodge Cummins starter replacement YouTube
Yesterday tractor Facebook
Farmall M Craigslist
Case 970 fuel injector EBay
These will all bring you one click away from what or who you are looking for.

Same here SweetFeet. I decided our lives were private and I sure did not need to read every little detail of other peoples' lives.

My neighbor has 400+ Facebook friends ..... but none in real life. Makes perfectly good sense to me. Well, one friend maybe, his wife seems to put up with him !!!!

I guess we all have our "getting off" point. I stopped at twitter. I fooled with it a little and decided FB was a far as I'm going. gm

Facebook or other "social Media" you need an account to log into to view and post on that that. where youtube or craiglist you can just go and browse but if want to post you need an account (work much like YT).....Here are quick links to Youtube (video viewing site), Craigslist(For sale, classifield), and Facebook (social med)

Happy birthday to you on your 74th tomorrow.

I would not want it for the social part. Just wondering how if you have to have an acount how does the fire department expect to get any news out or the furniture store with a small add in paper says contact us on facebook how do they expect you to find out what the furniture store has on sale when the add just gives their name and says contact us on facebook and some jibberish. Must not want new customers. And the fire department any information that the people need to know same way. I think the furniture store could be loosing bussiness without a web page that the search directory can find. I have bought off of craigs list several times.

Last month I was frantically searching for the parade starting time for the annual celebration in a small town near me. I couldn't find it in the news or on the net. Finally in a local publication I saw an add for the parade. It said 'see us on Facebook for times of events'. I gave up and asked a local person in that town. The person I asked said "well it's on Facebook" in a voice that made it sound like I was n old fashioned out of touch sort of guy.
Guys below are commenting on how a store will say see us on face book for info / advertisement etc. While not everyone is on FB, myself included... it is very useful and cheap advertising to get your information out to the exact demographic you are trying to reach, assuming they are on FB too.
For instance, we have a cranberry farm/ preserve jam store. Our target demographic is women 30-55. We can select a local area or nearby city and have an instant advertisement to 5000 people for $25. There is a potential that they will share that adddirectly with their Friends.... hopefully also in the target demographic.
What we see is a much better return on advertising expense. That is not to say we won't do print adds, but they are costly, slow, and often used as fire starter... that's what I do with them anyway.
For Fire Protection Service it is quick and easy to get evacuation or other emergency info out quick... many do not listen to local radio or television news. It's all a sign of changing times.
FB for the social aspect is a big part of it for a lot of people, not us but there is true value in the service.

I don't use Fakebook either. It is false reality, giving you all kinds of "friends". It is also a tool that can be used to belittle and insult people remotely when you don't have the guts to say it in person. The other part of Facebook is the number of people that use it as a source of "news". FB has to be the most biased "news" source there is. FB is controlled by one person and if you don't agree with him, you are cut off. When I tell people I don't do Facebook I get a look like I am from another planet. I agree that companies, clubs and anyone that only send out notifications on FB are only hurting them selves. I would like to see a break down of the demographics on who really uses it.
That's my rant...

Like!
But when you cannot get on to it where is the true value? The part of the country you miss may well make up for any aditional cost and if you are already putting out an ad it soes not cost anymore to include full contact information. text only ad, possibly but not on a display add or a flyer.

basically, As I posted below Facebook is useless unless you have an account with them. Most of these places are using that as a platform, to get the "millennials" (and possibly their parents), that can't seem to get off of the tech.
I have a Facebook account, only because someone else set it up for me(have it might as well us it). I use it to get a hold of people that I don't know their numbers (with everyone having cells, you can't just look it up). There are tractor pages on there, that I "visit".... then after that I just skip the rest of the "garbage" (frankly that site is just a waste of time.

Facebook, or as I call it Trashbook, is basically a waste of time. I simply don't care what some narcissistic idiot had for breakfast, what mood he is in or what his choice of clothing was for the day.
Always bear in mind that anybody can post just about anything that they want to. That does not make it gospel truth. I refuse to patronize it. If I need to go on Trashbook to contact a business or to see their hours, they can do without my business. I have better things to do than walk around with my nose stuck in a phone just for basic information. I would rather look around me and see it live. My feeble opinion...

Yep Facebook is a lot like this site. Rants, what's are we eating, prayer request, lots of pages that have help related topics, even on antique tractors.
My bad on the erroneous report I made in my earlier post.
The "godaddy" yearly fees are indeed to have your own website. My wife tried an at home business a few years ago and signed up for facebook and her own website at the exact same time as a part of that. I thought it was all one in the same - my mistake and she set me straight.

I don't 'get' Facebook for business, I find it very cold and typically out of date, put up a good web site and I can find your info.
Facebook feeds filtered info to users, they keep info on you and feed you sites they think you want to see, or sites that pay enough to get sent to you. So you really can't search Facebook to find real data; you are finding what they decide to tell you.
Seems like a very low info place to go. Only for dumb vain people.......
YouTube: I find if I go to google, and type in " YouTube whatever" (where 'whatever' is a few words of what in trying to find) I typically get some good hits.
