Less
than 2-months ago I signed up for Facebook and in just a very short time I was
connected to over 50 of our Classmates. In trying to figure out what Facebook
is all about I discovered that various types of "groups" can be created.
One of the types of groups that Facebook has is a closed group as defined
below:
| Closed:
For "global" groups, everyone on Facebook can see the group, but the
administrators must approve all membership requests or personally send invitations.
If the group is exclusive to one network, only people in that network can view
the group or join it. Only group members can view its Wall, discussion board,
and photo or video content. Non-members can view its Info and Recent News. If
you are not a member, you will not receive stories about closed groups. |
So
I created a Facebook closed group,
USAFA68, with one goal being to promote this website. Emails have been sent to
Classmates inviting them to join the Closed Group USAFA68. Not only
is approval, by me, needed to join USAFA68 - but to join the group you
have to sign up for Facebook. I realize that
many may not want to be on Facebook and that
is fine. Hopefully those that do sign-up will find it worthwhile. As always I
would appreciate any comments you have regarding the USAFA68 group or this
website.
