FW: Facebook group

[William Fenn]

Yep,

 

Guess who reads facebook, all tweets, google+ and everything else they can
find?

 

Keep our reflector, don't add facebook or any of the others . make it easier
for them to keep track of what we do and help reduce the amount of storage
space they use that is being supported by the taxpayer in the long run.

    The comments where just about as I expected.  I use FB quite a bit and
have found it rewarding.   One group I'm in had a fairly active email list.
Somebody got on FB and people tried it.  We started a group there and the
email list withered to nothing in less than a month.  I was a bit unhappy
with that result at first.  I don't like having my comments limited to a
little text box and I felt the comments got shorter and were less
intelligent.   As people got used to the format things got a little better.
I like being able to shoot a photo or video and post it direct from my phone
complete with a caption.  I have FB friends who I have never met and I'll be
danged some turned out to be hams.   

    I'm also a member of Yahoo and of Google groups and a couple of Blogs.
I've been on this list off and on for a good while IIRC maybe the early
90's?  I think I found out about it from the old BBS if anyone remembers
that.   At one point in my life I might have made the point that to promote
ham radio we should stay current and with the times, but I just don't feel
the need to do that anymore.  I do enjoy social networking and that was one
of the things that attracted me to ham radio, besides the technical
curiosity that is.   If I was to promote getting  snazzy and new fangled
social media for AMRAD it would be because it is just plain fun.  What is
this world coming to anyway? Fun?

How would folks feel about having an AMRAD Facebook group?  A group, unlike
a page allows for comments and the posting of pictures and videos.  They can
be open or closed as far as membership and also you can control who views
it.
