Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

Ancestry.com's Corporate View on #RipFacebook--Do Genealogists Care?
The above tweet flew from Ancestry.com's corporate account at 9:00 am. on 21 October (today).
Do genealogists following Ancestry.com on Twitter even care what Ancestry.com thinks of the use of various hashtags?
Personally if I were managing Ancestry.com's social media I would avoid posting opinions such as these on corporate social media. Unless, of course, they were hoping to "ride the #ripfacebook" wave. It's ironic that while they thought the hashtag was "premature," they used it themselves.
