Definitely easier for people who don't want to entirely conflate their personal and political personas. It's open to non-members too, so even casual supporters can join, find out about events in their area and get involved. Take a deeper look - there are loads of fun and interesting things on there!

When I organise events in my ward, I invite Lib Dems who I know will want to help my campaign, plus a bunch of locals who don't want to be associated with the party but are happy to help out and get involved with what I'm doing to help the local community. All of the former will be on both ACT and Facebook, the latter will only be on Facebook. Using ACT instead of Facebook makes it harder for me to get people involved, and using ACT as well as Facebook is redundant.

I like the fact that I can now gradually unclog my Facebook profile, which is so overwhelmed with party connections that I can't use it to keep in touch with my "normal" friends any more! It's much more useful to have party stuff in a separate place. Dave, I’d take the opposite view.

An insular, inward-looking third-rate Facebook clone walled garden which doubles the amount of work I have to do because now I have to do it on two sites instead of one. What a waste of time. Hooray.
