The Forum: Now a Group on Facebook!

Ellen · Post by **Ellen** » Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:10 pm

We just created a Facebook group called "<a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4 ... mf">[b]The Forum at Virgin-Islands-On-Line.com[/b]</a>". If you're a FB user, join up and share with friends!
Enjoy, Ellen and Anthony

There is also a VI application where you can send postcards to friends via Facebook.
Woody's Seafood Salon and the G spot at Larry's Landing are also on so you can become a fan if interested.

Okay, I just created a facebook; high tech. Is there a way to add all viol members all at once or do I have to do it individually?

I think that you go to the group site (VIOL) on facebook and go through the pictures of those already in the group. On facebook you'll find that we are all there with our "real names" not our forum names. I believe that you click the pictures on or use the real names and ask them to be your friend.

by the way I live in Madison and not Wisconsin like Pete and Marcia.

I think the way to do it is:
go into the group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=49709521775, then under the "Members" section click on "See All". A list of all the members of the VIOL group will come up where you can click on "Add as Friend" for each one. (You can put in the message there that you are from VIOL - since they probably won't recognize your real name on the invite.) Then each person has to accept your invitation.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to add friends by group on FB. don't worry FB becomes easier as you go...at first it seems like a mess to figure out!

The capacity for folks to see more photos and so forth on Facebook makes this a great extenison for this forum...I found Nancy B on there and she has also been posting her recent trip notes on there as well. Very good idea...

Why? Maybe I am just dim and low tech, but don't we already have a forum to communicate to each other and post pictures on and send messages through here? Both on and off topic. Isn't this possibly taking away from the forum we already have?

As someone who doesn't personally use it, I am a little in your camp - but so many people do (use it) - and every website seems to be participating in one way or another... we just figured we would stick our toe in. I really need to check it out in more detail.

They are so different, I don't think one takes away from the other. If you have never been on it --is really only a way to talk to one person. Yes, there is a forum page, but no one is really using it like a forum.

So it is fun to "friend" people that you might have made a connection with on the forum and see their photos (of family, vacation) or to say Hi or to send a stupid St John gift to....but it is so different that I think they only complement each other and only give us more opportunities to waste an incredible amount of time. I must say facebook is much more of a "waste"...but it is fun too....just different.

Facebook is not a good way to ask for or get information of any sort.

Ok it has been like a month since I put anyhing on the forum here, but I figure I would start with this one. Facebook allows individual expression far beyond what you can do here, but the forum is the best place to get a wide input from this wonderful group with like interest.

Has anyone else noticed that this "group" has become active again???

If you joined Facebook (or registered here) in the past couple of years you may not have even known about this forum's group page.
