I prefer the phone, because: In my experience one can learn a lot from a person by the way they answer questions and by the way they interact with you on the phone. Nice well bred gents for instance: Will be friendly nice and easy and answer questions with easy. They dont want to waist your time because they are busy at work. Welll bred to me is someone who have been well loved by their family members and have had some level of formal education. Guys who have bad intentions: They tend to send hundreds of emails and pm all day long. They tend to refuse to answer questions. Are mostly uncommunicative and unfriedly on the phone and evasive. An email is not a reliable source of communication when negotiating our time and services in this industry. That is in my experience. Some people send emails and are nice guys, but some just want to waist your time gal!

so this month alone I have delt with Three different cases of SPs who choose to add their clients to their facebook....thats all fine if they decide to do so. my problem however? when I'm at a social and a male member makes a comment about MY facebook page because he has put 2 and 2 together with whoever was dumb enough to add him to her FB page. or a client blurts out that we have a similar last name and he did a google search after finding out my name to check out my artwork....ummmm...??????! Ladies...I know they you may feel comfortable with a client and on a friend basis with them but realize that when you add your clients to your page you are not only jeopardizing YOUR privacy...but the privacy of other SPs that you have on your facebook. I have NO wish to have clients rummage through my art pages or see what friends they have in common with me etc etc...and I certainly have a MASSIVE problem with people learning my full real name! whats annoying is that clients dont seem to realize that it is a HUGE blurring of boundaries when they "figure" out who we are and say so. to me, its like someone just drove up to my house, honked and said "hey you! [insert real name] i know where you live and hang out and I think I know your dad!" Ladies, you dont have to add EVERYONE to your facebook. I realize that clients can be friends...but blurring those lines makes drama for everyone involved...I have never encountered anyone adding a client to facebook that didnt end in some kind of messy drama...especially if she realizes she doesnt want them on her facebook anymore GUYS, just because someone doesn't add you to your facebook doesn't mean that they're not your friend...take whatever connection you have here on Cerb and in physical contact and treasure that....it doesnt need to go further than that. Today I have deleted 2 girls off my facebook who have chosen to add clients as friends. I admit that I have ONE client on my facebook but only because he was my friend on facebook through mutual friends before becoming a client....and I dont even see him anymore so I dont think that counts. To me adding anyone to facebook is like seeing someone off the clock 24/7...its extremely unprofessional and comparable to adding your boss to your FB...business and personal life should be separate. am I the only one who thinks like this? Privacy is important to everyone....blur the lines and things will only get more complicated.

Many accounts seam to have very FULL sent item boxes so I have turned on a feature on the system that will remove all "SENT" pm's after 30 days of sitting in your sent pm folder. I think by cutting down this excess amount of storage it will help prevent future issues (and make the backups of the database substantially smaller - therefore making them less prone to not backing up completely). A lot of this is just growing pains for the site.

I prefer the phone , my Business is separated line When my day is ...DONE I just unplug it ! Its only 35 dollars a month ( land line) When going out , or out of town I foreword it to my cell . Plus , I find it easier to express your self via the telephone . so much more personal , its the next step to face to face contact

I can't speak for her but my assumption would be that she is advertising, the same way that many ladies announce when they join twitter or any other social networking site. This way guys like Pete who have accounts can join and interact just like they do on the board and see pics when they want, have a conversation with her and see updated schedules or announcements. There are a lot of people that prefer the format of the various social networking sites over a forum. :)

The Winnipeg stings had nothing to do with federal law, its a local by-law infringement issue. If you advertise as an escort, you need an escort license (very expensive here for an indy, less so for an agency girl). So, the ladies are now service providers, and no longer chargable under the by-law. Haven't heard of any sting activity lately. Prostitution is legan, but living off the avails, keeping of a common bawdy house and solicitation in a public place are not. Pimps, incalls, streetwalkers are all illegal, so there are still a lot of ways to "trap" a working girl...
