Just wondering if a FWR facebook group has been made by anyone yet.  I'm assuming that many on this forum have now been consumed by the vortex that is Facebook.  It may be a good way to share pics and make some new friends to hit the river with.

I use it a fair bit, but mainly for contact with friends and family members back in the UK.

I only add people to my friend's list that I have met in person or have some close connection whether through fishing or personal.  Unlike a certain person on here  ;D I don't just add people for the sake of driving up the list count, I communicate with everyone on my list.

Ditto. So to those of you who added me because you know me through here, don't be offended if i don't accept the friend request.

Yep I use it but watch out for privacy issues.   Personally I don't put anything there that might compromise me in some way.  I don't know if this happens here but in the U.K companies frequently go onto to facebook to find out about job applicants.   Pictures of party revelling 20 years ago can be very damaging in such cases. [I only allow friends or people I have met personally to see mine...but even so.  Anything on the internet is potentially available to everybody]

Short of that it is a good way to stay in touch with people. For forums like this it could work well with groups of people I have met and want to exchange info with.
