<P>But many more are. I use it for my local club Pax Aero. Many of
our members have facebook pages and when I update the website, I update the
facebook page as well. This tells members the clubs page has been
updated and then they go to the site. It has worked very well in keep
members more informed.</P>
<P>Those who aren't still have the option of going to the webpage without the
notice from Facebook. </P>

Facebook<BR><BR><BR>Hi Tim, <BR> The idea of requesting a section for
the NSRCA has been suggested before but doesn't seem to go anywhere with the
board. Why? I honestly don't know. In the Information
Technology world, it's all about Social Media now. I created this and
got approval from the board simply to reach out to all that are out there or
may be out there in the future. Everyone is on Facebook. The
page is not meant as a gathering place but solely to put small tidbits of
information out there at your fingertips. The are more people who read
their News Feed than take the time to go to the NSRCA website by far.
If we post something there and it appears on everyone's News Feed, that
information is more apt to be read. The purpose is only to get us out
to the general public and present information quickly without someone having
to pop on to another site. Since a lot of people already sit on
Facebook, this is the perfect opportunity for us to get information out
there so people, for example, can't say I didn't know the deadline for
registering for the NATs was June 30. Believe me, I had that happen
with some pretty "happening" folks but I know they were on Facebook.
My comment was it was posted on the application and certainly on NSRCA's
website. The response was, "I rarely go to the NSRCA website".
Yes, the argument can be made that this is a reason to enhance the website
(which John Gayer and I are pushing for) and the argument could be made that
this is another reason to go to RCU. All I'm trying to do is increase
our visibility and Facebook is a prime place to do this. This is
exactly why almost ANY business is on Facebook. It's where folks are.

this exactly what the NSRCA web site is for? The one with all the info in

disappointed in the usage on the Nsrca site and find far more usefull info
on RCU. The Nsrca web site can go months between posts. Contest results are
the best, love that feature. <BR> <BR>So now we have to place the same
info in several different places. <BR> <BR>RCU seems to be the biggest
place that NSRCA/Pattern fliers hang out, would it be smarter to use that as
the nesting place? <BR> <BR>Might we ask for a Forum for NSRCA?

<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Good Morning, <BR> For those
of you on Facebook, the NSRCA has created a Facebook page for our group that
will list any information that we have to distribute and we can also post
contest results, upcoming contests and anything that makes sense to put on
this page pertaining to pattern. We are excited about this opportunity
to hopefully reach out and touch more individuals. You can find the
link to our Facebook page on <A href="http://www.nsrca.us"
target=_blank>www.nsrca.us</A> on the right side under the Kfactor
stuff. If you click on the "Like" button, information posted on our
site will be visible each time on your "News feed" of Facebook.
<BR> If you have information that you would like to put
out there, please send it directly to me and I will post this information
immediately. Look at us going into the 21st century! :)
