This is the 1086 Facebook Page!

Another thing that's cool about a Facebook page is a page can have it's "favorite pages" on the side. As I find team pages...and now I have a lot more thanks to this post...I add them as a "favorite page". It's a simple click (which is great for me!!) and it gets added to the list. I've added teams and sponsors as I find them.

As far as the question of why having one...We do use it to get information out quickly. We use the "events" function to help spread the word for our Lego camps and other events. Several of our kids and mentors have the posts go directly to their phones! I have...(well, I had help)...linked our Facebook and Twitter accounts through ping.fm. I can update them individually or both at the same time through ping. I'm sure there are other ways of linking things...maybe some of you can share??

It's really cool to see the variety of people that have joined our page!! The only thing that has been a nuisance is the spammers that get on. I check everyone out that joins our page. As long as they are good they can stay, but as soon as I get a spam post I ban them! It got bad for a little while so I took away permission for anyone to post a link. Although with build season upon us, I will probably put that back up.

http://facebook.com/twitter for Facebook-to-Twitter posting.

You can select what type of updates (status, videos, events, etc) get sent to Twitter.

Pages are also better than Groups because any status/photos/etc you post are displayed on a Fan's News Feed, just like a normal profile. Pages can also add applications and boxes like a normal profile.
And last, but certainly not least, Pages have the ability to use "usernames", so you can use Facebook.com/BedfordRobotics instead of Facebook.com/pages/Bedford-Robotics/337645538661.

We created it around championships last year, used it semi-frequently during the off season, but we hope to be using it much more this year!
