Facebook

We're all pretty aware of Facebook, but I'm just getting to the point where I'm going really use it as a tool to get the word for DB events out.

The is a DiscoveryBound group on Facebook, it was started by a participant named Jeff who was kind enough to include me as an admin so I could help the group grow and to use the amazing communication facilities of the system.

Already by reaching out to the members of the group, I've gotten a few responses back asking questions about the events, expressing concerns regarding not having enough funds, and just elation that these events are on. The results have been amazing. One of the dialogs has inspired a participant to organize a fundraising concert to help her afford getting to the NYC event.

I've started some discussion threads on the group site where members can share how they are getting funds together, share gratitude and provide suggestions on how to improve the events. Check it out:
