Well, for one, bandwidth would not be an issue. 2. There is picture profiles (not entirely necessary) 3. You can upload pics of computer builds or to show a pic of a windows problem (for example) to get more input from people. 4. Managing events (i.e. a Houston Area Hardware Group meet can be much easier) 5. Accessing a FB group is as easy as having internet access (some people on this list still use POP3 sans webmail access) 6. Visibility (This is a great group and why not have more people join up and participate) 7. Get with the times. (I know old habits (albiet a good one) are hard to break, but this is the future baby) 8. Sharing Youtube videos of say computer reviews is a piece of cake and easily visible from FB (embedded videos) 9. Sharing Links (all the sites have "link to FB" now.
So on and so on. Anyway, I've created a group called The Hardware Group [H]. Feel free to Join up. I will relinquish admin privliges when required.
