Nearly 50 people have liked the new page in about 4 hours. From Europe, Australia, US, Canada, etc. This kind of social networking power is impossible to contain. Power to the people! ;-)

68 likes so far. 3 ads and one item (a new Oudie) has already sold!

I guess wings and wheels is not the "only" way to sell a sailplane related product on the Internet.

100 likes and nearly 1200 views in just a couple days....

Let's see... WW: 94 aircraft listed, professionally displayed and maintained.
Facebook .. lots of "likes", comments and photos of food...

Brilliant response. Thanks for your "contribution..."

Denial.

Resistance to change.

Disparagement.

Got it. Impressed. Never seen that before...

PS...up to 130 likes...in 2 days.

When you said wings and wheels is "professionally displayed" I literally spit out my water. Too funny. That site is fine but is basically managed in MS word and has literally no organization or extensions outside of itself. I think it's fine but when the proprietor of that site starts calling up people and telling them to remove ads elsewhere Imagine the 90 ads is going to decline fairly rapidly.

While I agree that W&W is far from professionally displayed, and has a lot to desire in UI, and as much as I like Facebook, I don't find facebook any easier to browse, find and categorize ads. Also, isn't using facebook limits the audience to only facebook members?
Having said that, I may give it a try and list my items for sale there as well.

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,

While I’m delighted that I can make someone spit out their water after 25 seconds on the computer, I like the way the WW site is presented: title, photo, description and contact info (I’m sure many people do not want their phone number on Facebook).. That's all I look for when I am searching for something. If it's on there, It’s available.. If I want more info, I contact the seller. Very simple and no "log in" required..
I really don't appreciate the insult. I have a Facebook page for me and another for my business and know what I am doing.. You don't need to be so self-righteous.

Facebook information is actually far more secure than WW could ever dream of being. Your contact info is regularly scraped of wings and whee. See his warnings about scams for this reason.

No insult intended. I was ribbing you.

Don't be so sensitive everyone. Have fun!
