Yes, many birders use Flickr and have accounts. Although, few use Flickr,
Facebook and Blog combined to reach other birders. Most have not understood
the potential of the social network connection. They are Social Media
virgins…so my workshop has gotten some attention, but less that I hoped,
because it may be a bit early….After a year of necking, most will have a
better idea what it is all about I think. I don't want to expand too much
here, but if you are interested in the approach how to tackle a great
existing community, which at large are social media virgins, but whom more
and more are signing up to Facebook as we speak have a look at the first
post in the series.

Great content. I teach a program on Social Media Connections geared toward membership orgs – nonprofits, schools and associations and they are starting to look for next steps. Many people are still learning the difference between a group and a page but they are moving fast and hungry for more. These are great simple steps people can do for little money and a reasonable learning curve.
