Recent research shows that teenagers are deserting FB in their droves because it has become the favourite haunt of their parents, and they don't want to be on anything their parents think is cool. Multiple platforms work best, so club websites and Oople and others are worth the effort. Yay! |

Unless you live completely off the grid, the government already holds far more interesting data about you than which tyres you are going to use at the regionals.
And they still don't give a toss one way or the other, mini pins or mini spikes. |

I personally like Facebook.
BUT, you are 100% correct!!! Clubs and shops should use more than just FB. It doesn't take long to copy and paste things to many places! You continue to stand up for what you believe in and don't let rubbish get you down!!! |

We started a club 12 months ago; to be perfectly honest without FB we'd have struggled.
I hate it on a personal level, I use twitter massively for work and LOVE it, just cannot get on with FB...BUT it's reach is undeniable. We now have close to 400 likes on FB, and organised our very first open night via FB; 38 drivers came down and tried our facilities; we're now attracting that number on a fortnightly basis. We run an open profile which I believe means anyone can view it, even non members? Please do try and see for us? https://www.facebook.com/1066racing Having said all that I asked Jimmy for a club section on here too, as it's the best source of specialist info in the UK. We've gained one member via Oople, so it's a useful tool too. We'd love a website for basic info such as dates/contact/location, but doubt we'd have the man hours to add photos/results etc as we do on FB. In summary; FB a useful tool, but I don't use it for personal use at all. |

But I quite like the idea of having a false name and a hotmail account to get on to FB. At least I would be spared being contacted by all sorts of people I never wanted to meet again!! |

This is a very interesting thread, especially to see many peoples response to FB and clubs that have their own websites.
If no one in the club is able or have the time to produce a website then it is quite costly to have someone else produce and maintain the site. Even if this can be done in house there are still costs involved. This is money that clubs either don't have or can be used in a more constructive way. Our website has had the Google analytics from the last three months show some interesting things. We've had very few hits in the last three months, and nearly all visits to the site are for the results page. The pages that people have spent hours producing are hardly ever seen, even when links are posted on oOple. And our website is one if the more professional and complete ones out there. Facebook is a very convient free platform for clubs to communicate with racers and to reach out to the general public in a way that dedicated websites and oOple cannot do. Reviews, pictures and race reports can be quickly uploaded in a user friendly interface and much easier and convinient than Wordpress for most. At the end of the day the world we live in today is used to having information that is very easy to access and in your face, many people will not search for it but expect everything they want to find in a central location. What I see is Facebook is a dry useful tool to advertise our club and keep racers updated with our events and news. |
