[Hidden-tech] Social Media for HT

If delivery means it gets to the group page, then yes. If delivery means it
is seen by all the members of the group, then no. Facebook groups are a
pull medium: the content waits there for the user to go look for it. If the
user sees a notification and clicks through, or randomly checks the group
page, the message is seen. If, like me, the user gets an average of 96 FB
notifications per day, whether I click through to a particular one is
random and the odds aren't that great.

In all fairness, the same problem exists with email. I ignore many HT
messages because I can tell they aren't relevant or I don't know the answer
from the subject line, and others because I simply miss them in the deluge.

BTW, I think email does a much better job of threading than FB groups.
Reasonably happy with the status quo. And grateful to rich for
administering it.
