Less interesting doesn't mean less useful...there is no larger audience with which to announce our events and ham nets than the Facebook audience. One needn't be a participant to see the value in terms of publicity, IMO.unwiredadventures wrote: X2 on this. I'm finding Facebook less interesting the more I use it.
Facebook, for better or worse, has gone beyond the boundries of a college kid's social scene. Many major corporations now maintain pages to distribute product information and keep their "friends" up to date concerning product and corporate information. There is no easier way to have your information linked to others - anyone who is interested in what you have to offer is but a click away from distributing that info to all of their "friends" - much faster communication than traditional ads or polling e-mails, IMO.
While I use Facebook, I have not tried Flicker, and I don't understand its function other than a picture-holding site. Based on the enthusiasm shown here, it is much more than that. It would be great if someone familiar with Flicker could summarize how it is used as a social medium, and even how it differs from Facebook, aside from picture quality...
