Gary,

Until now I have dug in my heels to NOT get into the FB (Facebook) scene. But now that you have done this .... I may have to reconsider.

[No emoticon given since there isn't one that even approaches the inner turmoil I now feel!].

Regardless of my inner turmoil, I do think it is a good move for businesses to get into because it can make the consumer feel a little more connected to the business. Especially if the business asks and responds to the consumer.

Greg

Hahahahaha for some reason that line really cracked me up.
On another note, I think this is very smart of them. Why I think that is because most people on face book range in the 13 to 35 age group. Now that being said I am 25 myself and yes I do have a facebook. 90% of the people I meet in my age group have never heard of model rocketry. Once most of them see a launch etc....they think its cool and try to get there own fleet started.
Aerotech can reach an audience that has never even seen a model rocket before through facebook.
Though I do think its sad that most people my age arent into model rocketry.....it scares me a little because who's going to keep the hobby going once the 60-80s gen. cant build anymore?

I am hoping for 20 years of building/flying ability left. When I was younger, I used to not think of life in these terms. It reminds me of the words found in a Psalm.

I have deliberately avoided butt-Facebook and all other similar websites like the plague that they are.
