[Cinci-nfb] Facebook page is now live

Tue Nov 3 21:45:05 UTC 2015

Deborah,
There are many ways to setup a Facebook page.  I had sent Chris some suggestions to consider. I DID NOT realize that "the Facebook page is the project of the membership committee." only.  I thought any "Member" was permitted to point out things to consider.
I will again state a few things to consider then I will bow out of this conversation and leave it to the "membership committee".
After further review of Facebook capabilities 1.  if it is setup as a non-profit or a community organization the admin(s) are the ONLY ones permitted to post to the main section of the Facebook page.  if a member post something it shows in the visitors section and is NOT user friendly.2.  if it is setup as a group (a private or public one) people who want to be a friend of the group can simply just request to become as such and will be permitted to post to the main Facebook section.3. Again after further review of Facebook i think it should be a public group so anyone can post to the group.  I DO NOT think it should be left to the admin(s) only to approve what is posted on the site.  The admin(s) will ALWAYS have the capability to remove any undesirable post if any is posted.4.  I need to respectfully disagree with the point about words before pictures. Why can't we have both because BOTH sighted and visually impaired will hopefully be using this Facebook page.  Facebook is not meant to be a blog. Those of us who are not visual impaired do like pictures. for example.. How exciting would it be for a sighted person such as family member to be able to see pictures posted of all the fun that does take place. such as bake sales, movie night, spring grove trip etc... a picture speaks a thousand words. I feel this could be a big lure to our chapter as well.

Jessie

Deborah. I’ve been checking on the existing Facebook pages that some of the state chapters and divisions are doing.  Most that I’ve found are state chapters such as California and Florida. Most are categorized as either non-profit organization or community organizations. The pages of the state chapters typically are more geared toward sharing events such as chapter meetings, workshops, news of interest to the blind community, etc. These are different than groups that are generally organized for private discussions, and, as Marianne said, are typically closed to the public.  When someone posts on a page’s wall or timeline, it can either be a public post or moderated by an admin. There are numerous ways to moderate how posts to pages are handled, and nothing is set in stone.  If we want to talk precedent, we might consider contacting the NFB of Greater Louisville directly and get some clarity on how their page evolved and the dynamics of who is allowed to post, etc. I do think we need to meet on this next week and am available Nov. 10 at 7:00 PM to have a conference on this. Monday Nov. 9 is also an option—same time.  Chris

Subject: RE: [Cinci-nfb] Facebook page is now live  Jessie, Chris, and others, We need a bit of background and objectivity here.  First, the Facebook page is the project of the membership committee.Chris and his committee have talked about it for some time, and Chris, like a real leader, just stepped up to the plate and got it done.  Of course, we want it to be as effective as possible, but no one bothered to do it until Chris did, so this is not an emergent situation. There is no race.Better to take time, think it through, have the entire committee involved, and make additions and changes slowly and carefully than to rush and get something up in cyberspace that does not represent us with our proverbial best face forward.  up eIt is wonderful that those with some sight are helping Chris because, of course, the visual appeal of such an undertaking is very important.  On the other hand, blind people are much more in tune with words than with pictures, and we need to keep that thought front and center.  I don’t do much with Facebook myself, but following the discussion of group posts versus admin posts, I think this is something we need to seriously examine before jumping.  What are other NFB chapters and divisions and affiliates doing?A page on which anyone could come along and post whatever they please does not sound to me like the way we want to go.I am just trying to be the voice of caution here, so please don’t let me stifle anyone’s enthusiasm!  DeborahFrom: Cinci-nfb [mailto:cinci-nfb-bounces at nfbnet.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Sabine, ONH Consulting via Cinci-nfb

I could do Tuesday, Thursday before 8 P.M. or possibly Friday the 6th. If we decide to change the structure of our Facebook presence from a page to a group, I’ll need to delete the current page and recreate the page as an open group. As I said earlier, our Facebook page is a work in progress, so we can always reorganize and start fresh if one model isn’t working. Thanks for your feedback. Chris   From: Jessie McDaniel [mailto:jessiemc12 at yahoo.com]

Subject: Re: [Cinci-nfb] Facebook page is now live it's ok that the page was created but how do we want the page to function? for example the way it is setup now the only person that can post anything to the center of the wall is the Admin which is you. I personally don;t like it that way. I would like it to function like a regular FB page  where anyone can post and shared to the center of the page instead of the way it is set up now. i tested it out and what happens is it gets sent to the left side which people would have to dig to see what was posted.  i don't find this very user friendly with that said if it is to function as a FB page then it needs to be changed to a group not an organization or non -profit. I have viewed several other pages and it appears there is no standard way others are doing this.  however, they were either set as non-profit or a group hope i did not confuse you. it's easier to say and show than it is to write it. I agree that this needs to be discussed and my opinion,   to have a conference call because it would take to much time of a regular meeting in person.  I would like to be part of this conference call..   are you the one who sets up the conference call? Can this be setup soon?  which ever way we decide to go we need to get the page functional as soon as possible. Jessie   From: "Christopher Sabine, ONH Consulting" <info at onhconsulting.com>

Subject: Re: [Cinci-nfb] Facebook page is now live No Problem. We still don’t have a cover photo or many of the Basics. I propose we either take a few minutes to discuss this at our next Chapter meeting or—more ideally—by email prior the meeting. I need the Chapter’s mission and any awards we’ve won (Will include the Gavel Award from State). Our Chapter meeting times and locations can always be updated through posts as well as other important events and topics of interest to the Blind Community locally. I’ve already sent a list of invites to like the page last night including a few more Autism oriented folks from my friend lists with ties to the general special needs community here locally. With some attention and effort, I think we can make this page a wonderful recruitment tool. Very best, ChrisFrom: Cinci-nfb [mailto:cinci-nfb-bounces at nfbnet.org] On Behalf Of Rachel Kuntz via Cinci-nfb

Hello all. Well, the shell of the Facebook page for the Chapter is now live. The link is: https://www.facebook.com/National-Federation-of-the-Blind-of-Cincinnati-435155406692348/. Deborah and all: I think we need to meet briefly to discuss adding the long description to our profile, including our mission and adding a cover photo to the page. I propose we build this in the next couple of weeks prior to our Chapter meeting and Convention. Very Best, Chris
