bike pirates is online via facebook and blogger. Its the only reason i tend to my email, works well with others but i think we need an internet outlet that can bring us bike donations. I was thinking of a twitter page.

pirates has a facebook group that interacts with other bike shops facebook pages, it also keeps people in a loop. It can be bad news when you send an event with wrong details like times and dates, or when you try to promote anothers groups event and facebook makes it look like your producing the event. Bad news there, so watch out when making events.

Josh,

MoBo Bicycle Cooperative uses facebook to invite people to events.  So far it's been working very well.  It seems like people use the facebook page for news/events than our website, but it's also updated more and super legible.

Josh,

The Bozeman Bike Kitchen is on Facebook and I use it as a "port" for
information we provide elsewhere.  I have setup our Twitter and Blog
accounts to post updates and blogs to our Facebook page automatically
to keep information there fresh.  This "cross pollination" of
information between accounts is good because some people don't look at
all of our information resources so doubling things up gets the word
out.

I receive a weekly e-mail from Facebook telling me weekly statistics
about my Facebook pages (I also maintain pages for a few other
organizations as well as my place of business).  If I see there have
been a number of comments left during the week I may wish to go in and
respond to keep our fans interested.

- Sam
