I spent several hours on two evenings and seems to me it is for families or groups scattered all over the country.<br />However, I've been told it is a good place to get publicity for your writing - connecting to many people who might not have the opportunity to learn about you.<br /><br />I notice the Folk School is on Facebook, NCWN is on Facebook and many people who have blogs I follow or read. I will continue to check it out and see what kind of response I get. Much of it seems to be for people who have more time that you and I do Sam.<br /><br />But I keep remembersing how Maggie Bishop, author of mystery and romance novels said she spends TWO hours every day on marketing on the Internet. I think this kind of thing is part of marketing now just as blogs and websites have been for sometime now.Glendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-66280552935634669802009-04-13T13:08:00.000-04:002009-04-13T13:08:00.000-04:00I just tried Facebook myself this past week.

Personally I prefer to correspond with friends separately by email as I always have. These old friends have a large family and I can see why they like it. They wrote back and said we should get something on our wall soon or people will think we don't have any friends.<BR/>Have you tried Twitter Glenda? I haven't yet. I'm not sure I have time for all of this plus two blogs, a food column and writing a book. Hope you and Barry had a nice Easter.<BR/>SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-62086543356035303842009-04-13T02:21:00.000-04:002009-04-13T02:21:00.000-04:00Thanks, Kat,I'm catching on.

Jayne Ferrer says we should have a Netwest Facebook page.<BR/>What do you and Diane say?<BR/>I don't know how a non-profit business sets and get friends.

That is probably the biggest attraction. Lots of games & such as well, plus fan clubs, etc.<BR/>At the moment, Facebook and Twitter are all the rage...
