Dear Friends,

There is already a PBS page on Facebook, but it is NOT under the
auspices of the PBS officers or board. I brought this to the attention of
the PBS months ago and they voted against any association. I believe PBS is
missing a great opportunity to communicate about the world of bulbs to more
people all over the world.

The current PBS Facebook page has a few pictures and some one has
been posting recent numerous BX listings.

Facebook automatically makes a page when someone 'likes' the
topic. So far over 150 people have 'liked' PBS on Facebook. Imagine the
impact PBS could have if it cooperated with Facebook and brought an
additional level of information to Facebook users. If properly handled a
PBS Facebook page could integrate and expand on this on line forum as
hundreds of other organizations already do.

This would probably require a PBS volunteer to coordinate Facebook
activities and integrate them with the on line forum. Isn't this better
than having a Facebook page without any cooperation?

I have been on Facebook for a while and constantly see more and
more PBS members joining up on competing bulb pages. This is loosing
valuable information and contacts for PBS.

I think it is time for PBS to get current and join the Facebook
community and interact with a potentially huge audience. Anyone want
to vote on this ??

Hoping for the best for PBS AND Face book.
Best Jim W.
