That's not technically a group, but a "Community Page".

Oh...I didnt see that one. I searched facebook and couldnt find a group about the Tube Challenge. Therefore I set one up myself which is a proper group however, but happy to remove it if people want to stick to the original one. The link to it is here

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tube-Chal ... 901&ref=ts

Obviously it needs work but since it was like 2AM when I made it, I just wanted to make something quick and basic, before going to bed, with the intention of making it better later, if people liked it.

I'll happily link/like them once they have some content. Can't help the feeling that there's nothing that's not already covered on this forum though.

That said, surprise me!

Well...As I remember Geoff saying in one of his blog posts...

"A comment on a blog had around 10 comments while on the Facebook group (of the same topic), there was over 40 comments"

I cant remember the exact numbers but what I was thinking was that since more people use facebook, and its more popular, more people might notice it? Thats just my opinion. Like I said, it was only an idea and I'm happy for it to just die down if there's not much interest. It only took 5 minutes to set up :)

If it would serve as a bridge between Facebook and what is almost a closed shop (here), and if that's viewed as a good thing, then go for it.

Well I'm not sure. Thats why I asked people on here, to see what they think. Even if its just a few pics or a little bit of info saying what its about, then thats fine. But I dont know how much detail people would want to see in it?

Or, if you were really an idiot, both at the same time...
