Pro's & Con's of Facebook and OpenAgile Community Development
I have developed some PRO's & CON's of Using Facebook as a community development tool! Please Feel free to add to this portion

Pro

 * Networking Opportunities- Reaching a new audience


 * Creation of events & event tracking


 * Community Page Acts like a Gateway of information to Other links and OA info


 * Linking like minded individuals


 * Expand interest in OpenAgile among our family and friends


 * ability to track page/group metrics

Cons

 * Exclusive to Facebook users


 * Individual use of Facebook varies. If used sporadically, members of a page could miss potentially vital info. For this reason, Facebook is at best a place for duplicating essential news and announcements.


 * May only attract younger audience.


 * Facebook was created as a social networking tool although continues to develop along with its users


 * Unless you change your announcement settings for all your groups, you don't get announcements from Facebook directly to your email.
