Their search sucks, since those keywords do exist on the info page. Which clearly they do not search with their own search :) > Naming the Facebook account "JaxLUG" does no one any good unless > you're specifically looking for "JaxLUG". The name should have "Linux > User's Group" in it in some fashion. I have no idea who did this, and I had no involvement in it. However its the same as the domain name, and most anyone calls it JaxLUG. I haven't heard anyone actually say Jacksonville Linux Users Group is some time, or even typed it. Though it is still a common search according to analytics. > Searching Google as you so patronizingly suggest nets the Facebook > link being found near the bottom of the second page. Hardly > efficient. Didn't mean to patronize, I just google everything including myself. Love how something so innocent can sound so dirty. Though kinda shocking at times how even when I am inactive. My search count goes up when searching for my name in quotes. Also shows how Google tailors results to the IP and keywords. Even more so if you log in and they really track your history. But for me it shows as first few links when I type in facebook jaxlug. http://www.google.com/search?q=facebook+jaxlug Its how I got the link cause I don't go on Facebook or do anything there. I didn't even bookmark the Facebook page when it was created. But I guess now we need to add it to the Wiki.... :) > I also searched, guess what?, the JaxLUG mailing list. No mention of > anyone creating a Facebook profile. Well again I had no involvement there, and ideally people post to the list before doing such things. But thats not always how things happen, and its not like there is much if any coordination or real JaxLUG leadership or anything. I am part to blame there, just as we all are :) > I'll see if the Admin on the other account can update the name from > the cryptic "JaxLUG" to something findable and meaningful, and if > he/she does, Well that really should be discussed by the group. Its the groups page, and name to change. I really don't see the harm in it being JaxLUG. But if others really contest, then I am fine with it. Its pretty moot to me, rather see more use of the Wiki, than other things. But its what ever the group wants to do, of which I am just one member. > I'll delete this new account. William, as the acting President you > need to push hard for account info. I am not El Presidente ;) If so I would be worse than Castro! But probably do need to see about restoring some form of leadership and structure at some point. Its been quite a while since the JaxLUG has had any structure or organization. > If you get resistance, then we can use this new account as the > "official" Jacksonville Linux User's Group representation on Facebook. I don't see it being a battle I will spend time fighting. Its pretty moot to me, but I will back anyone who takes on the fight. Really don't see it being an issue, once someone claims ownership and creation of the page. No clue why they haven't made themselves known, its not a big deal. Unless Facebook created the page themselves. To increase their own account creation numbers and such. I have seen many sites do things along those lines ;) -- William L.
