My thoughts exactly

Wow, guys. I see what TLuck is trying to say. FIRSTwiki might semi-connect us together... but with a MySpace, there could be one massive official FIRST MySpace page thing... and each team could create a TEAM MySpace... and the friends of the Team MySpace would be the team members. We have a Bomb Squad MySpace and a facebook group. It would be a way for teams to meet other teams and team members more easily.

But we always have ChiefDelphi... But not everybody uses it.

Agh. I'm really bad at explaining things... but it makes sense to me. FIRSTwiki doesn't really do anything as far as meeting other teams is concerned.

Nevermind. I tried... haha.

I'm sure there are already FIRST MySpace pages though...

Blah.

I would guess that it wouldnt be too much like firstwiki, only because it would link to pages of even members in the same network. And maybe if it were meant to work a little similar myspace it would let others also find people on other teams to contact them for anything?

Overall, whatever it may be it does sound like a good idea. I do believe it would be quite a hit.

Or you can just use Facebook.

Have teams create their own groups. Add any and all FIRST competitions as events. Upload your massive amounts of team pictures.

Almost every possible thing needed to run a FIRST social networking group is already in place [and being used!] through Facebook.

Many teams including us have already created Team Myspace pages on Myspace.com. We could just promote more teams to make them on Myspace, but then again I see a point in creating them on a FIRST site. It would definitely be safer for the students when browsing the site. Therefore, I think it would be a terrific idea for sure, something to really go forward with in creating.

Our team has a myspace page also. I think a myspace for teams would be a good idea.

With FIRSTwiki, the team pages that I saw, many of them didn't have talk pages =\

With a website like a myspace, comments are right there in front of you =]

This is an idea someone on my team threw out at the very beginning of the year. I thought about it, and thought it would be a good idea, but it slipped into the background for a while. I think it's a great idea, and I'd be willing to help code it. It would be a rather large project so I definitely think a team-based programming approach would be important. If this gets going, I'd be onboard.
