[AT] Remembering/now Facebook

[charlie hill]

I forget the terminology but there are two levels of private
FB groups.  One is visible (as a group) to anyone but membership
has to be approved.  The other is totally hidden from view or search
and membership is only by invitation.  If we are going to do something
on FB I think it should be the later, only by Spencer's invitation to
members of the this ATIS group.  That way we could share pictures, etc.
but it would require minimal administrator upkeep as no one would know
about it but us.

I'm in!  I think it's a fine idea to set up a Private Group on Facebook.
They are very manageable by the appointed administrator(s) and easy to keep
"clean" of the normal Facebook bullcrap.  I'm a routine Facebook user,
primarily to keep up with family living long distances away, plus my other
major hobbies (bicycling, motorcycling) are extremely active on Facebook -
you almost HAVE to be a Facebook user because everything you want to know
about is discussed on Facebook and nowhere else.  I've been on Facebook for
four or five years now, and I am VERY well aware of the gripes people have
about Facebook.  There is certainly some justification for the most of
those gripes but I guess I find the good outweighs the bad - signficantly,
as far as I am concerned.
