This is going to be a bit of a problem for me. I've been working on putting together a computer lab for a school on one of the remote Solomon Islands (as in, fly to Honiara, take a small plane to Lata, then charter a boat for a couple days). Our primary contact lives part of the year in Honiara, and Facebook Messenger is his best means of contact, since it works when almost nothing else, including email, does out there.
People underestimate just how good Facebook's network (computer network, not social network) is.
- tubularhells 6y agoI call bullshit. We have email, telegram, signal. There are so many ways to communicate. Messenger goes through but email doesn't? What's your agenda here?
- madhadron 6y ago<shrugs> I haven't been there. This is what I have been told by the folks I'm dealing with over there. Mind you the island itself doesn't haven't anything.
