Anyone on Facebook? / OB on FB!!! :)
 
Yes, I know. It's trendy and semi-cheesy. But I use it anyway. If you do, say so. I think it might be fun to organize a little Orchid community there.

I am on the facebook as I am sure alot of us probably are. A orchid community on there sounds like a fantastic idea!!

susiep 08-13-2009 04:54 PM
Sounds good! I am interested, too.

harrywitmore 08-13-2009 05:37 PM
I'm there also but I don't use it much.

Beverly 08-13-2009 05:53 PM
I recently joined facebook and even searched for Orchid Board on it.

I set up a group for OB members.

I'm going to make the group an open group. Anybody can join without my approval. Maybe we can introduce some new folks to Orchidboard ;)

Do a search on Facebook for Orchidboard on FB :Tup:

See you there ;)

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:

WhiteRabbit 08-13-2009 06:16 PM
cool! I'm on FB and will definitely join! Thanks John for suggesting it and Sue for creating the group :)

I've made it a "closed" group so any OB member who wants to join will be approved immediately and have access to everything while non-OB members can see the group discussion but not details such as things posted on the Wall.

Do a search on Facebook for Orchidboard on FB :Tup:

See you there ;)
Thanks for setting this up Susanne!

bingo

cb977 08-13-2009 06:28 PM
I like the idea too...with just one caveat ;)

If I see that more conversations are happening over there than here... :bad: ... :tapfoot: ... :evil: ...

the FB group will be

:closed



:D

Amanda L 08-13-2009 06:42 PM
What a great idea!! I'm on Facebook and have sent my request.

Beverly 08-13-2009 06:46 PM
Wooo Hoooo:banana::banana::banana:
:thankyou

cb977 08-13-2009 09:24 PM
Hi again :waving

I'm going to make the group an open group. Anybody can join without my approval. Maybe we can introduce some new folks to Orchidboard ;)

Thanks :)

PitcherASAMD 08-13-2009 09:29 PM
I too have a FB page and put in a request under Katilyn.macleod@gmail.com.

cb977 08-13-2009 09:49 PM
Changed my mind (I'll make the changes in my previous posts too).

I'm going to make the group an open group. Anybody can join without my approval. Maybe we can introduce some new folks to Orchidboard ;)

Have fun (/udb)

Sue, please keep in mind that some of us are big mobile users of Facebook. I, for one, cannot get to OB on my iPhone (can't turn on cookies) but I can post and view photos on Facebook. That's the only reason I would support FB as an addition to OB.

RMM 08-13-2009 10:14 PM
Hi I neither introduced myself properly, but I could not find orchiboard on FB. Do you know why?

Heres the link Login | Facebook :D

hmm - I hope that works
otherwise - just type orchidboard (one word) in the search box on FB :)

susiep 08-14-2009 12:48 AM
Thanks for the link! I'm in! :biggrin:

Grandma M 08-14-2009 07:59 AM
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?

Marilyn

cb977 08-14-2009 08:04 AM
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 :)

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.

Marty 08-14-2009 02:32 PM
Woot, Woot... I've been creating a group for over a year on FB... Thanks Sue for finally doing it. :cheer:

Gin 08-14-2009 05:15 PM
I just joined FB not sure if I like it or not lots of things on it to figure out ..

Yeah Gin!!!!! Congrats on becoming a FB member :)

IraGlacialis 08-14-2009 07:14 PM
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.

Yeah, I already have my privacy filters set on max, except for friends of course, since I first got a FB profile a couple years ago. And I know I'm being slightly irrational but...
Screw it, I'm joining up.

cb977 08-14-2009 09:17 PM
The act of joining the OB group on Facebook doesn't automatically make all other group members your FB friends. If you want to take it a step further and become FB friends, you have to put in a request, as usual. It would have nothing to do with being a member of the OB group.

:cheer:

It's more of a irrational: "Oh noes! I just joined a group and outed my name, losing all anonymity. Now I shall forever be branded as one affiliated with the insidious group know as OrchidBoard. Soon black helicopters will be coming." :shock:
...
wat

Okay, maybe not to that extent, but you get the picture.

I just joined FB this summer to stay in touch with friends and share pictures. I am still learning how to do things on OB and learning how to do things there.

The black helicopters came by my house last night. I found they retreat quite quickly, though, when you throw the old, wilted blossoms at them.

Beverly 08-15-2009 11:28 AM
And all this time I just the helicopters were flying by because we lived on their flight path.

Funny you mention that.
Few months ago, my friend/last roommate once admitted to me that he only knew me from the previous year as that "Asian guy who runs around taking pictures and keeps a bunch of cool plants in the RC (residential college) lounge."
