Our Facebook hits the ton!*Thursday 15 January 2009
Four new members have joined the Society’s Facebook group in the past week, and that’s cause for celebration for us as this takes us over the magic figure of 100 Facebook members. Our jubilation comes not just from the number itself – it’s the fact that the more people who’ve joined, the more useful it’s become for those who’ve logged into it. The pace of contributions from members and the topics they’re discussing has picked up remarkably in recent weeks. There are now 19 discussion topics listed and the latest ones include a discussion of practical chemically-safe cleaning products, weaning off Endep, hives, low vitamin D levels, and coping (or not) with alcohol. It’s a wonderfully diverse list and we like the feel of the chat between contributors. We think that the Facebook site is a great example of how the Web helps to unblock things for small societies such as ours. In the past, people would phone or write to us asking for advice. What we’ve now been able to do, thanks to member James Hackett’s initiative, is to get the many experts on particular issues who are part of our network of members and fellow travellers to provide the advice. So we urge you if you still haven’t joined our latest craze to zoom on over and join the Society’s Facebook group. It takes only a minute and then you can access it as often or as infrequently as you want to.
