[DeTomaso] POCA on Facebook

Charles McCall asked " What do you think?"

I'll be blunt...I am not doing FB.  I don't visit FB pages.  I am not fond of "email" for information sharing.

Ed,
Is this a good idea? One thing that I think is negative for communication is that there is a certain lack of unity or coordination on FB. There are a dozen DeTomaso pages that have a fair amount of activity. If you have a message that you want to make sure that everyone gets, then you need to cross-post on a half-dozen pages. People who subscribe to those pages get the same message a half-dozen times, which gets annoying. It happens now, and it will only get worse if people keep generating new FB Pantera pages.

It would be as if there were 6 E-mail fórums. Most people would belong to several, but to reach everyone you need to post to them all. I don't see the advantage in splintering the DeTomaso world into ever-smaller grounds, but I do see disadvantages.

What do you think?
