Group Facebooking

The title says it all. Yes? No? Good? Bad?
I think the properly done group Facebook page is a real swell way to keep a group in contact. Take for example our giant pumpkin group Facebook page here.
Well that may not be the worlds best example. I'm not a big Facebook user and neither is Dr. Jones so we can all blame him if something doesn't work right on that page.
The Utah Rocketry Club Facebook page is a pretty good example I think. I'm not sure if you can see it or if you have to join/be accepted to the group to view it though. The nice thing about a group Facebook page as opposed to a website, is you can easily make updates and so can the other members of the group whereas a website is more or less static. The exception here is if a website has a forum you can participate in or if the website IS a forum. That being the case, Facebook in my opinion becomes irrelevant as users just post and do updated in the forum.
Like it or not, I think social media is here to stay. I would like to consider myself an A1 Luddite, but even I check my Facebook account on a daily basis! Although I will admit, to throw directed advertising off the trail, I'm "from" Zimbabwe, "live" in Timbuktu, and graduated from USU class of '51! Take that FB advertisers!
