The post you are reporting:
It's incredibly useful tool for Community Groups to use a central point of contact. It's invaluable to organise members, send out invites and so on. There is an excellent Dover History page on there at the moment that has been quite mindblowing, some of the forum members here are regular contributors.
Sorry Howard, but Facebook is much better for this sort of thing as anyone can join a group there easily and those posts won't end up on the pages of anyone not a member. For example, on a local forum, I might not want to see the AGM invites to the Dover Motorcycling Sealions Association popping up all the time, yet on Facebook it'll only appear if I'm a member.
On a social level, you can keep in contact with anyone across the world, easily and simply, and that surely has to be a good thing. People who get into trouble for postings only really have themselves to blame.
The trick is never to go on it after the pub, the next morning you end up deleting everything and apologising. The worst thing I did, which I thought was very funny at the time, was uploading a photo of a petrie dish full of bacteria and 'tagging' friends all over it. It wasn't so funny the next day when I read the comments underneath.
Agreed about Twitter, I just don't get it. I joined up, read about three one line posts and gave up.
