Facebook

[Luis Alves]

Do we have an account in facebook?

[Peter Schindler]

Short answer, Luis: we don't. Do we need one? I don't know.

[Luis Alves]

well perhaps we don't need, but the biggest group in facebook about MSFS have around 3.100 and I was thinking that it is a good way to get Air-Child even more known to all simmers, just a thought

[Andreas Heusner]

Vatsim and Vataware had a facebook account too.

[Peter Schindler]

And they still have ...
Just: what is it good for? I don't want to sound too negative but ...
- both have a website
- both have a forum
- both have a twitter feed

Now, if I want some info, should I go to the website or to facebook? If I want to discuss things, should I visit the forum or facebook? And if I want a short news flash, should I read on twitter or facebook?
As a very personal opinion I think we shouldn't divert in too many directions just to follow some social networking hype
We have a forum, we have infos on the website and (if some didn't know) we have a twitter feed - (which should be updated more often)

One thing we are already working on, is a blog/cms combination, where members can publish entire articles about interesting things (like cockpit building, RL aviation etc.), leave comments, upload pictures and so on. We will also use this for regular news and articles (i.e. about Unicef work). However, we want to have it included seamlessly into the ACH website, which is going to take some time.

If someone thinks we can't go without facebook, and if that someone is willing to setup and manage the account and keep it updated, send a PM to me or to Norbert.

[Andreas Heusner]

Yes, the still have
I don't know if we need a facebook account. We've a wonderful website. I think Luis wanted to say that a site on facebook can be a tool to generate new pilots for Air child.
I don't have the experience if it would be helpful.

I'm horrifies That's a new info for me. I think I must follow it.
But there I've a question. On the website is a twitter widget from UNICEF. Why don't we put a twitter widget of air child on the website too??

Very interesting. But than you need a moderator who have an eye on the blog. Or if it would be possible a moderator must approve contributions before a text go online.

I've actually forgotten the password for it

Sorry Andrew.
But this isn't a big problem or?? If you got to sign in on twitter you can push the button "Forget your password".

[Andrew Williams]

I'm sure Peter will PM me it at some point ...... If he still remembers it that is

[Peter Schindler]

Password ???
I can send you the many dots that Firefox remembers for me

I have stored all the passwords for Air-Child, from database to teamspeak, in a file. But not the one for twitter....
So, go ahead and press that forgotten link

@Andreas: you have PM

[Andrew Williams]

ok and done, the password is now

"And the password is four times one"
"You are stupid because you make your password public."
"No, beacuse i don't said the right order!"

[Torben Andersen]

Hopefully we can continue communicating via the forum. I might be considered an old dinosaur - but I have no facebook account - and I do not intend having one
Several reason for it - but I wont bother you with it (and I do not go to Mc-Golden Arcs either)

[Andreas Heusner]

@Torben
There will be no change with the website of air child and the communication will still go on about the forum of this website here. So you don't need an account at facebook

[Andreas Heusner]

Luis Alves had the idea to integrate Air Child on Facebook, because facebook is a big community and there are a lot of groups about the hobby flight simulator. So a lot of virtual airlines have a account on facebook. The goal is to get attention for air child.
And know we have done it. Air Child has is own site on facebook (you will find it here: Air child on facebook).
So if you have a account on facebook become fan of our site

If you don't have a account don't be scary. Everything still goes on here on air-cild.com (News, Forum and so on).
