[D28_community] Facebook discussion

[MAlbeeDG28 at aol.com]

Why would anyone want to put information about themselves out on the  
internet?  It just encourages scamming and identity theft!  PRO, Ray  Metz, already 
has something similar on his web page.  Why aren't you  taking advantage of 
that to "chat" with each other?

Basically facebook is an online social network group where individuals  can
talk to each other, post events, discuss ideas, and reconnect with  past
friends and family and coworkers.  Many will join facebook to  search for
groups that they have an interest in.

For example, if  someone has been transferred to a new area and they are
already involved in  Toastmasters they may go to TIA but they may also do a
search through  Facebook to see what clubs are active in the area.  They can
then look  through the group and see what type of club members, events and
ideas they  discuss.  This helps them connect to the members making the
decision  easier as to what club to join that matches their needs.

Pictures,  videos, and much more can also be posted on to Facebook
advertising  specifics about your club.  I think that District 28 can use
this as a  promotional tool as well as a way to collaborate between clubs to
increase  our success.  

The best way to find out though is to take a look  at Facebook.com and join
the District 28-Division F group.

I would like to know how Facebook, or any program would help  clubs that
desperately need to recruit more members.  As an older  member of the
population, I am sort of in the dark.
