German Look on FB?

[volkdent]

What are thoughts on starting a GermanLook.net Facebook page?

How about just posting your Facebook address on here so we can stay in the loop? Maybe I'm on Facebook too much, but I would love to get updates through there as well as live pics.

A GL facebook page would be pretty nice indeed.

Despite using facebook on a daily basis, I have to disagree. Experience with FB pages for other "forum based" items fragments the community and information. With a forum like we have here questions, answers, builds and posts are all archived and searchable. On Facebook, they are not. A post here saved my bacon when setting up my rear suspension with the QA1 shocks, and hopefully my thread (now with part numbers) will do the same for someone else down the road.Had the photos and information been posted to FB instead of here, no amount of searching would have ever found it.

Just one man's opinion...

X2. I would like everything to stay on this site for everyone to see when needed. Having to read thru what someone had for breakfast, or walking to the mailbox, to get to a rusty panel repair post is not interesting to me. :lmao:

Just my opinion though...

Hey Dave, I totally agree, I guess I was just thinking it would be nice to have daily pictures from our GL friends from all over the world, maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it is a lot more trouble for me to take pictures with a camera, put those on my computer, upload them to a server like The Samba, then link them to here.

I would still do that to keep my build stuff up to date, but if a member found a great GL they could easily post it to a GL Facebook page for all to enjoy. It just seems easier to get mobile pics up on FB than it is to load them on here.

The other part of the FB page concept I feel would be a really big benefit is a sort of advertising of this site. It's been quite apparent over the years that the traffic here has slowed down. I think that if anything the GL look popularity has increased, but not traffic on this site. With social networking it might be quite easy to increase the volume of traffic to our site, hopefully that being a good thing.

plus, there already is a germanlook FB page from our french brothers and sisters:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/germanlook.org
although they only post pictures, which sorta seems (X3) the right approach anyways ;)
