This week we received this email from a technical author:

“I’ve been using Facebook for a few months and find it a great way to communicate with old friends and people with similar interests. I would love to set up a Tech Author group so that Tech Authors can share ideas issues etc however I don’t know any other tech authors so I’m not really in a position to set this up! I wondered if Cherryleaf could do something like this to get us authors in contact with one another.”

This has lead us to create this technical authors club on Facebook.

A while back, we trialled an online club using Drupal, but we made the mistake of aiming too high. A forum is essentially what most people want, and this could be a good time to try again.

Nice idea but not for me. LinkedIn group, possibly, but Facebook is (and remains) the domain for friends.

Weirdly our company has a Facebook group, but hardly anyone joined that, everyone was happy to hook up on LinkedIn though.

And I agree that aiming too high can be an issue, the Content Wrangler community seems to be moving on but I’m only really interested in the groups (why would I want to share music with our tech writers??)
