Oh, I see you use yours as a sort of website.  We have a website for that (we're working on fixing it so that it's useable) and pretty much everyone in town who wants to find us finds us through the daviswiki.org site.  (localwiki: coming soonish to a town near you)

We have a Facebook group.  I started a Facebook page, but couldn't figure out how to transfer the hundreds of people in the group over to the page without inconveniencing everyone.

Ideally, we just use the group to let people know about events at the shop, but we have one person who likes to send out brief, unpunctuated emails letting folks know about stolen bikes, too.  For instance, I emailed the Facebook group about our Thanksgiving potluck, and it got one person out of 800+ people to come.  I guess it kept the other folks thinking of us, though.  Sometimes people leave comments on the wall, but I don't think we have anyone checking it regularly. 

I'd really rather not use Facebook at all, but that's what we have, and that's often how people prefer to hear from us.  Looking forward to Diaspora going public.
