@Nick-Carthew I don't use that spy software

@Drabslab
Why worry?
Almost every internet page you open on your computer immediately places a tracking/spy cookie from Google and/or Facebook.
MyRoute does that too.

@Jack-van-Tilburg not on my computer

It will probably be available on MRA’s YouTube channel after.

@Nick-Carthew I hope it will, indeed : no Facebook for me either. To say more : I even consider announcements like this, i.e. going over Facebook, giving away some things only if you're subscribed to (in this case) Facebook, quite customer-unfriendly... What's the next move ? Shall we immediately share our routes with Zuckerberg ?

It is of course an easy (lazy?) replacement of running an own website but I never understood why companies are so keen to share their client list with facebook or google.

[Jack van Tilburg]

because it is a commercial choice.
Money, money, money

Maybe it’s because social media sites like Facebook are very popular with MRAs client base and it’s an easy way to inform those clients.
Nothing cynical, just a commutation platform.

Whatever the reason, I don't think it is very customer-friendly towards non-Facebook customers to give away whichever gadgets only if they're subscribed to Facebook.

I make of that attitude something like "Yes, you DO count for us as a customer, only not that much as the other ones".

Message for MRA's commercials : back to your drawing board !!!

Indeed they are very popular, not in the least because companies like MRA use them as preferential platform for communicating with ther customer base ... until that cuistomer base becomes large enough for the Facegoogles to develop their own navigtion or other tools and swallow the comanies that started it.

I know, too grim a picture but look how facegoogle is expanding its reach...

Anyway, not worth an argument. I admit having a facebook account (made out of curiosity years ago) but hardly ever use it.

Just for the record, I don’t use Facebook either. I can see why organisations might put stuff on it, but there does seem to be a heavy dose of assumption attached to such actions. And you know what they say about assumptions!
