When the company has a Web site why is it that there is no mention of this on their Web site? The news section has not been kept up to date and Morgan Live has nothing but a general repeating video a few seconds long.
I have no interest in joining any of the sochul channels for instant self gratification. I spend enough time on TM without adding some other invasion of privacy. Web sites are more effort to update than social media. Like it or not, the world is moving in the direction of more dynamic platforms than static websites. I imagine that there were old crusties in the 1930s grumbling at why they were supposed to listen to the Home Service on the wireless rather than being able to read it in that morning's edition of the Times. I don't agree that they have to use mass social media that wants to skim all our data, contacts, etc., and dump unwanted advertising on us. There are alternatives that provide sites or pages similar to social media that could also provide push notifications. They don't even have to invent something. True, it would have to be administered but then so do mainstream social media sites. In effect it would take little effort to create their own interactive private Morgan based page(s) and any advertising banners etc would be specifically Morgan and other than that not targeted.

I would have thought it was down to "going where the prospective customer is".
We already own them in most cases and so will follow our own leads and community.
The goal of marketing is to reach new and as yet unplundered customers.
So you want maximum consideration and access for your staff workload.
Sadly sochul medier is the future.
I agree re the account skimming, exploitation and in some cases quite ruthless use of our identities but if you ask a 20 year old about it they consider it quid pro quo in most cases.
They also trust Chrome, Alexa and all sorts of other stuff. I don't even trust my bank.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

They don't have to, but they want to. The number of people worried about having their preferences skimmed so they can be sent targeted advertising rather than generic ads is tiny compared to the number of people who like the benefits that social media brings. You're going to get exposed to advertising anyway, so it may as well be targeted. As for getting your data, social media can only get what you give it. It's not compulsory to provide accurate or even truthful information when you create an account. Personally it bothers me not one jot that I get to see targeted adverts. I just scrolled through my Facebook feed. Out of the first 40 posts from friends and groups I participate in, I saw 4 adverts: for 3D Printers, Vintage Fonts, Beard Grooming kits, and BMW i3. Seems a lot more preferable to see these rather than ads for soap operas, makeup, cheap holidays, and computer games. Choosing not to participate in social media is an entirely valid position to take but it comes at a cost, and as the number of people who do use it grows and grows, that cost becomes more and more evident - that of finding it more and more difficult to be involved in current events.

Not that I need one.  I didn't, Paul. Although I do confess to an occasional application of beard conditioner in an apparently futile attempt to keep my ever-lengthening monstrosity under control, I haven't as yet succumbed to the notion of special combs and such.

Exactly! - though I do regret buying a bulk supply of adult incontinence nappies for my Father in Law using my Amazon account...

Well , my first impressions are that it looks really good . I like the more trad style wing profile plus the fact that they haven't gone for stupidly low profile tyres .
