Question about Facebook/RCTQ

Posted by Laurie G. in CA on January 5, 2009, 12:41 pm

I'm familiar with Facebook but I'm unclear why there is a need to start a
RCTQ group there. Won't it be the same people talking about the same
topics - mainly quilting?

I may have missed the important piece of this conversation that explains my
question. If so, sorry!

Will someone explain what I may have missed? Thanks!!!

IMO it's a another fad that will fade away but before it does, this group
will become more off topic and more quilters will drift away. :(

I think the advantage of forming the group would be to make it easier to
find and add new friends. I don't think I'd participate in extra chats very
often.

I like it because I don't always have access to newsgroups I usually do
have access to Facebook. Plus there is a little chat thing in facebook
so if you needed immediate help you might find someone that's one line.
I still like the newsgroup but for when I'm away facebook is better.
Just my two cents

I can't imagine anyone drifting away from RCTQ for facebook. I'm on FB
because my husband wanted me to. And I have been pleased with finding
people from "way back" and renewing old acquaintances. But RCTQ is
different by far. If someone leaves this NG for Facebook then they
probably aren't interested in this kind of quilting community in the
first place. Just IMHO.
