Default Free sailplane want ads page on Facebook

Yes, Facebook it is limited to Facebook members. But today, not having a Facebook account is similar to not having an email 10 years ago. Remember what you thought of those people. Same thing here basically. Sorry if this means anyone reading this but its pretty true. Those who avoid Facebook are only really limiting themselves, and they are always out there. Like the email non adopters, they will be left pretty far behind pretty quickly. And there is alot more than Facebook in Social Networking. Google +, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest, etc. But for now, Facebook is the new "email" for a large majority of the population. It is the standard and it is very, very powerful in both personal and especially the business world, believe it or not. Anyone care to guess how much Procter and Gamble spend on Social Media last year? How about just on Facebook? Look it up.

Oddly almost 50 europeans have joined the page in 2 days (up to 130). They are the most active in sharing the page with friends, etc. Interesting factoid.

The interface for Facebook "pages" is actually pretty decent. But the power is in the networking aspects. You can make a very nice ad on this Facebook page by simply adding a photo and typing your ad into the description section. They share away, answer comments (automatically notifies you) and sell your swag. Others in the network may know of someone looking for your type of glider, etc. They can share it on their page or the page of others in the network that might be looking for that glider.

Best,
