Last summer I started a Facebook page for my unit. But last drill, a couple of people asked about when I was going to do another newsletter. I wrote weekly newsletters in Iraq, monthly after we got back to America, and stopped once we had a Facebook page.
But new media does not quite replace old media--at least not for everybody. That newsletter was a lot of work. The Facebook page is easier because it can be done in little pieces. Doing both is more than I could ever have time for.
Let me know if you think one is better than the other--assuming I could choose between the two.
And, of course, if you are on Facebook, please "Like" our page!
