This may be a stupid question, but what is the advantage of Facebook over Orchidboard? Will that eliminate a lot of the interesting threads on OB?

Facebook is more of a social club...a place for us to interact more as friends than orchid-growers. We will all continue to participate on OB just as much as we do now. I think it could be a great way to get orchid growers who are unaware of Orchidboard to come check us out :cheer:

Orchidboard comes first...always ;)

While we, of course, will discuss orchids on FB, the group was set up with the idea of it being more of a social group than an orchidlovers group...main orchid discussions should still be done here on OB :)

John, I hope you don't mind...I made a change to the title of your thread...a new group has been created for OB members on FB :dance:
Shoot! I wish I'd seen your post BEFORE I created a group there, too. Ah, well. I've joined yours and will see about closing mine. :rofl:

Marilyn, I view it as a social extension of OB, where we can get to know a bit more about one another.

Woot, Woot... I've been creating a group for over a year on FB... Thanks Sue for finally doing it. :cheer:

Hm... I'm usually quite paranoid about joining groups on FB, but may give it a try.

It's pretty safe. You can refuse to allow anyone you don't know already to have access to anything you put on there.
