We set up a Facebook group but hardly use it. Folks do post links of
interest at times, and I'll post the odd info note, but we've had a
website for a long time and everyone knows that's where the updates
are. I've even put a note on our FB group to warn that it is not
regularly monitored.

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)On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 9:34 AM, Angel York aniola@gmail.com wrote: 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

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.Angel
