This is one more Thing that I already had a lot of experience with. I have been a member of Facebook for some time. I am part of a large family and it is one way we can keep in touch easily, know what everyone is up to, and can share photos and video. It seems the younger members of the family are more active with mutliple posts each day. They have lots more Friends too. My mom even joined! Since I joined I have been "friended" by high school folks I haven't talked to in years. I have cousins that I haven't seen for ages contact me too.
As far as Groups go, of course I've joined geocaching groups, and I have many geocaching Friends. The weird thing is that Facebook requires real names, and geocaching.com doesn't, so it's hard to tell who someone is when they send you a friend request. I look to see who we have in common before accepting an invitation.
Here are my geocaching groups:
Minnesota State Parks Geocaching Wildlife Safari
Sports & Recreation - Outdoor Sports
Size:96 member
Cooler Crew Cachers
Sports & Recreation - Recreational Sports
Size:23 members
Garmin Oregon Users
Internet & Technology - Gadgets
Size:168 members
Personally, I have some hesitation to going "all-in" on Facebook, as I think privacy is a big issue. People put so much private info out there, and they, especially teens, friend so many people without really getting to know them all first. You really need to be careful with what you post. I don't think my brother's employer would like some of his posts. Yikes!
