Two new Facebook groups

Continuing this week’s Facebook theme here on Lib Dem Voice, some news about two new useful groups on the Facebook website for Lib Dems.

Firstly, Mary Reid got a good idea scant minutes ago for setting up a group for Lib Dem councillors and people interested in local government. You’ll find that group here.

Secondly, local members in Brighton – Lib Dem Voice readers’ favourite conference town – are gearing up for welcoming hundreds of the party’s most influential members to federal conference next month. They’ve set up a Welcome Wagon Facebook for conference goers to pre-network, and ask those vital questions, like where can I find affordable digs, and are there any real ale pubs near the seafront? Find the group here.

You’ll need to be logged into Facebook for the Facebook links to work. And if you’re not already a member of the site, you can join up for free.

Know of any other good Facebook groups our readership might be interested in? Tell us about them in the comments below.

    Here’s a good group: Lord Bonkers for London Mayor

    And here’s how to write links in the comments. Just type <a href=”LINK ADDRESS”> on the one side of the word you want to turn into a link, and </a> on the other side.

    I might remind people that there is also a Norfolk Blogger Facebook group. The purpose of the group is to justify and explain what possible value Facebook has.

    Sorry for the shamless plug.

    We could certainly do with a few more members in The name’s Opik, Lembit Opik…

    If we’re doing shameless plugging, then I started a discussion here about the purpose of Facebook, which has got some interesting responses in the comments.

    Interestingly I get a steady stream of visitors now, who have all typed “what is Facebook for” into Google.

    The Lib Dem Councillors group has attracted 78 members in 24 hours! Thanks for the plug, Alex
