You want to post on AQ and then go on fb and post about posting on AQ?

I thought that was funny too.
I'm too much of an AQ junkie to get off AQ long enough to post on FB!

But it does seem to be a growing trend. I've noticed event sign ups on FB (they are listed on AQ but also on FB, and sometimes the sign ups are just on FB). I noticed groups on FB that mimic the boards here.

I don't really understand the advantage of this. When people sign up on AQ for an event, I can push a button and get a list of all the PT's. I can't do that if they sign up on FB. If they have a letterboxing topic they can post on AQ and I can see all the recent topics here on all the boards. On FB I have to search all the different groups.

So what is the advantage of having duplicate FB groups?

This way a serious FB junkie can avoid learning how to maneuver around on AQ. I agree they miss out, but they probably don't realize it.

On the other hand, maybe they're just hiding from you. 8))

If I had to guess, some people probably like the idea of being able to post somewhere that's not within my area of influence. =) It might also have the appearance of being "friendlier," but that'll only last until the first flame war starts.

I can't keep up with all of the posts on AQ (just selected threads and boards), so I don't think I'll be adding Facebook groups to my regular reading list anytime soon. It really is a largely Tortuga free place to post! =)

May just be that some folks are on FB all the time anyways. FB is always open on my computer, like most of my class mates (we exchange notes about upcoming exams, changes in scheduling and plans, etc.) so it isn't unusual for our hobbies to be 'disseminated' on there as well (ie fantasy football, farmerville, scrabb-ly, etc.)

I post that I went letterboxing...and have recruited friends in other states to my new addiction, but I send them to AQ because this seems more efficient for putting everything together.

Probably my fault, I shouldn't have dedicated that LTC to them

Yes you should have... it was perfect.

Ive read about this blog before, but I dont remember them posting the links to the sites... Yikes!

If you like me want to do something about this just click on these links. Follow the clues and directions.

--Or not. Jerk.

Lets just hope there are no more followers of this and that it doesn't spread!
