[digitalradio] Digitalradio: Facebook change.
This Yahoo group has had a Facebook presence for a year or so in the form of a Facebook group. No one really uses it, probably because using the Yahoo group is easier. However, despite some of the privacy issues that have been well publicized recently, the overall simplicity of Facebook is rather appealing and it is very useful for a quick check of who is doing what, and where. The Facebook groups do not seem to be as useful because you have to drill down an extra layer or two. You have to make more of a conscious effort to actually look for the group's content, it does not seem to be quickly available when glancing at your own Facebook page. So, I am playing around with a Facebook page for digitalradio rather than a group. My early experiments suggest that the Page does show up in one's own Facebook page (if you want) , allowing an easier quick glance. Please consider become a fan (Facebook terminology) and testing it out. I'm not fully sure how to link to it, but http://www.facebook.com/pages/digitalradio/123270301037522 seems to work. Andy K3UK

Andy, I rarely check my Facebook page (no teenagers here!) and only signed up with Facebook, at your request, but I'll give it a try. When I go to the page, I don't see where to write on the Wall, or how to become a fan. What am I missing? 73 - Skip KH6TY

Re: [digitalradio] Digitalradio: Facebook change. [a word about facebook]
No can do. facebook is one of those sites that read write and otherwise do things that most don't like to have done to their system. It would take me the better part of 1/2 hour to get past the site is reading or writing or trying whatever. Just to get to it. And I think I have told you in the past that any mail from a web based (yahoo, g-mail, hotmail) is deleted from the sever without me even seeing it. Sorry to say that facebook is on the top of the list that like to do just that. Do they really need to know who is in my address book? Or what sites I have been on? If there is something that you feel that I really need to know you better post it on the list.
