For some of the younger crowd or cool old dudes with a Facebook account, I have just set up a sister group inspired by DRB's recent post about marketing the forum.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=111139375152

I believe that not only will this help increase membership, but it is the only pipesmoking group on Facebook. This is a feat seeing as there are thousands of groups. Perhaps it is due to the younger demographic of social networking sites.

Would anyone care to be an officer and take the reigns of this new group? Let me know. Currently it serves only to point people here. What you want to make of it is basically up to you provided that it shares the same values and spirit we have here.

It is not intended to replace this group. Volunteer(s)?

That looks excellent, TM. I've never done FaceBook.

The officer for this group should be someone younger than myself. So I will sit on my hands.

Looks like a good idea. I joined the group but have not figured out just how this Facebook thing works!

Gillywalker will preside over the sister site on Facebook. Gents, no worries, I don't see the Facebook Group competing with DGCF. It will basically be a teaser to the what we have here: Grabow Nirvana!

I was telling Sir Duke that I run a couple of myspace pages for bands I play in.  I think they work like digital business cards.  When booking agents want to hear or see us we give them our myspace URL.  

One of the libraries I work for just recently started a Facebook page.  In no way does it replace the library's website.  But, it allows individuals to comment about the library, and it's a great way to send updates to people who have befriended the library via facebook.  

A lot of college kids are on facebook.

Geez, Gillywalker, you haven't been here an entire day yet, and we've already got you doing research in Chicago and running our FaceBook forum.

That's remarkable. Do things usually work like this around you?

Amazing developments!  A lot of stuff has been happening since I have been away tending to mundane life tasks.

To make it look more populated, I joined the Facebook group.  Guess I am just a cool old dude (with three kids in college who have facebook accounts, the real reason I have an account).

All these neat developments, and yet, the last time I checked the REAL, OFFICIAL, 100% AUTHENTIC DR. GRABOW COMPANY WEBSITE, what did I find?  As usual, this:

"This website is coming soon!
Please check back often."

How many contacts, potential customers and sales have been lost in all these months?  Worse is probably having the URL and nothing there.  It says to check back often, but it gets longer and longer between times when I check it out -- getting to be about once in a blue moon now . . .  --RJ--

The DG website will go online when the BlackCaps dominate international match cricket.

They have a new coach and a West Indies tour starting next month. Things are going our way!
