Are You on Facebook?

Posted by CathyResmer

August 3, 2007

I joined Facebook a couple months ago, and have been struggling to figure out how to use it to build a Seven Days-centered Facebook community.

I get the sense that creating a Seven Days profile is not cool. It seems like the thing to do is create a Seven Days group, with myself as the admin. I’ve noticed that a few other AAN folks have done that. And AAN also has a Facebook group.

But honestly, I’m having trouble thinking of a name. The group names are so clever! I don’t want ours to be dumb and boring. But I also want it to be intuitive. And I don’t want it to be fake.

Any tips? Anybody have Facebook anecdotes to share?
