BICAS in Tucson uses Facebook almost exclusively to let people know
about our events. Saves a lot of time and resources when it comes to
event flyering. We have over 600 group members (we chose "group" status
rather than a page for reasons decided long before I arrived- but it
seems to work just fine). Like others, I ask people how they heard about
our events and nowadays most of them say through FB.

We've
talked about upping our FB presence to a "cause" to be able to receive
online donations, but we haven't done it yet. Has anyone else out there
tried that approach to fundraising?
Like others, we also have a Twitter page but use it mostly to cross
pollinate and duplicate announcements. So far Twitter has not been as
effective as FB.

I post an article on our joomla website, then log into facebook add do
a "link" post on our page -- which automatically posts to our twitter
account. Then I copy the text to an email, send it to our email list
with a link to the original joomla website article. If it is really
important I do the same thing to craigslist, ksl.com, and other local
community calendars.
The email list, twitter, facebook, etc.,... links are right on the front page.
So it is hard to say which one is working.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Morrison
