[JMS] Should JMS move to Facebook?

[Ken Toliver]

Mr. Don Buska ( N9OO )

     Hello Don:
         My wife gets some things on Facebook at times and I have looked at it. We never send anything out on Facebook.
         We are going to get away from it.   with Facebook they want us to keep logging in with a pass word and I get fed up
         with that real fast.        At times They tell me to change to a new pass word.  I don't know why!
         We have had lots of problems with it over the last two or three years. It has not been very reliable for us anyway.
         I know the system that you are using now is very good and I hope you stick with it. It works real good for me and
         Is easy to use.  ( no pass words )

Good day JMS members.

I've been toying with the idea of moving our communications over to Facebook as a private group.  We've used the QTH reflector now for around 18 years and it has proven reliable, but also quite limited in features, i.e. no pictures or graphic, no attachments etc.  So even with relation to just email it is well below the capability of current offerings.  I have also noticed many groups and clubs have migrated over to Facebook due to the built-in features that are vital to a clubs operations, like a calendar with reminders.  In addition,the ability to show & tell new acquisitions, and later offer them for sale when the ownership joy has worn out, hi.    My guess is that a good percentage of JMS members are already on Facebook as well, so the transition should be smooth and would integrate into current activities.

Your ideas?  I would probably not eliminate the QTH reflector immediately as it doesn't take much effort to maintain.  Eventually I would have it return a message informing any poster to our Facebook page.
