Facebook is the popular social networking site, where users can connect with friends and talk about themselves.
You can create pages or groups to promote your organization or project, but you should tnk about which would be more appropriate for your situation. (MashTran has a page.)
Some examples of Facebook…
AC Transit has a profile on Facebook, and you can be their friend! Using an individual profile, rather than a group or a page, AC Transit takes on a less formal, more candid person with their fans. The profile updates friends of system news and events.
American Road & Transportation Builders Association has a Facebook page to promote the association’s publications and other functions. The page acts as another venue for advertising and a means to connect members and other interested parties.
