Thanks, Singh ji. for the valuable suggestions. I agree with you. But the onslaught of Facebook and what's up has changed things dramatically. I think more than 95% of the groups have been almost wiped out, due to the reason of numerous likes and quick feedback. I once tried to appreciate all the posts, being posted in our group. But has to stop due to lack of time.
But we have some advantages also. Although posts may not be appreciated with likes, but are incorporated in our site with images, for everybody in the world to use and appreciate them. I did lot of Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons work. But there was no direct appreciation in form of likes etc. But it still stays like this and being used all over the world. I am more than happy with my contributions. So the choice is left over to members- whether they want likes or they want their work to be constructively used in the website and appreciated by all over the world, albeit without their knowledge. So we have our pool divided. Some will like to post both on the Facebook and efi group. Some will like only Facebook, while some others may like only efi group. Choice is theirs. Nobody can change it except they themselves. However, I wish our members and experts help us in enriching our database more and more, along with helping in our ids. If somebody can find way and means to get them more involved, it will be really wonderful and appreciable.
