Hey Rich/Jim

If you go to facebook.com/username you can set the url of the page to something more user friendly ... facebook.com/npn or something.

Just a fyi.

Cheers

Carl

Found it, became a Fan and added it to my own Facebook Page (LightCentric Photography) as a "favorite."

Note on the username thing: Looks like you need at least 25 fans to be eligible for a username. I am not there yet

--have to work on getting some fans

I don't Facebook and I don't Twitter, which I can imagine is the case with a good number of NPN members. Can someone explain to me what I would get from NPN on Facebook or Twitter that I don't get by coming to the NPN website. I do understand that these social networking sites appeal to the younger viewer and if that's a good way to get information to them, that's great. I'm not knocking it, I'm just confessing that I don't get it. Is this just a different way to disseminate information, or is there different NPN information on Facebook and Twitter? I am curious, as well others may be, what more NPN on Facebook and Twitter would give to us. Could someone explain this please?

Carl,

Thanks for the tip, man!

Carol,

Good question. I am thinking......seriously.

This is brand new, so I have no way of knowing how it might evolve. For now, there will probably be nothing on either that you can't find here. The best answer I can give is that both Twitter and Facebook are new marketing tools, bringing NPN to those who might not know about it. That's as honest an answer I can come up with.

Others just might like getting information about NPN in a different format.

I think that best defines where we are at with it right now. We will see where it goes!

Andy...you just got another fan!

Great to see NPN on Twitter and Facebook! I'll be sure to spread the word and look out for informative posts.

Carol Nichols said what I was thinking better than I could have.

I am on facebook and I just became a "fan" of NPN, but I can't imagine what the benefit will be.

I'm not an early adopter and not especially social, so perhaps I'm not quite in the target audience.
