Did you know that the James Randi Educational Foundation has a Facebook page? So does TAM 6.
I’m not completely sure what use the Facebook group pages are; Randi already has a discussion board, though I would guess some Facebook users who are fans of Randi may not know about his board.
And somehow, without my knowledge, I became an officer of the group! Calloo callay! Where are my epaulets?
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

I think the best thing about FaceBook groups is that it alerts your friends - they can see what groups you join; and of course you can specifically invite them to join too. It’s really about spreading awareness and networking, I think - getting all the like-minded people in one place.

“I clicked the link, remembered that I am a member of the group, and discovered that I’m am an officer.”
Missed a meeting, huh? In most organizations, the quickest way to get elected/appointed to a position is to be absent when the decision is made. This is a subtle way to encourage attendance.

When I read “…users who are fans of Randi may not know about his board.” I thought it said, “…users who are fans of Randi may not know about his beard.” I was just like “Who could not know about the mighty Randi Beard?!”

Hopefully, Facebook isn’t owned directly or otherwise by Fox/Murdoch and their ilk like MySpace is. There seemed to be a problem with the Atheist community…
