face book and tractors

rod in nebraska · May 8, 2015

Some of our tractor club last started a Facebook page for the club to help advertise our club show and barbeque last year, it seemed to work great, the problem is there are people like myself and others that don't and do not want to become members of Facebook to be able to see what the club is doing, is there any way to get around that, some kind of clickable link a person can use or another idea, thanks, rod

You should be able to view the page, I'm not on that social media site, but you can usually view business or similar pages, thats the point I assume, having public read access, not sure how it differs from a personal page.

You need both. Facebook for those that have/follow Facebook. Facebook also keeps nonmembers/general public informed. Email for others. Our club secretary sends 'blanket' emails to all club members.For the non computor crowd,there is still 'snail mail'.Have the club secretary do both 'e' and surface mail. A "public relations" 'officer' can do the Facebook thing.These days you can't have just one 'avenue' of commication.

I'm thinking; why don't you guys come up with a bogus F/B page that has no pertinent information about anybody. You can create a fictitious person and you all can log onto it with a common password and then proceed to the Tractor Page. Me; I'm a Facebook junkie but there's no private information that anybody can access.

I think if you mark your page as "public" anybody can see it. But the trouble is non facebook members won't bother to go look. Sending out emails may be the best way but I think people don't read those either. People that don't don't want to know what's going on in the world won't.

I feel the same way, I used to frequent another forum that was John Deere two cylinder related, they have a magazine which I quit subscribing to as well when they got the bright idea to start using Facebook as their forum. I signed up for Facebook about 7 years ago and quit it after about three days of getting bombarded with crap about people that didn't even concern me.

I don't do bookface but I do web sites that it seems bussiness are thinking are now non esential, if they would just keep them and update as should the public would be happpier. Trying to get some information of site last evening and being in fifth month of 2015 everything on dates was still for 2014.
