Facebook has been spreading like a virus since its launch in 2006. Is it just a socialising tool bringing networks together or could it be used as a marketing tool for keeping our network informed of new challenges? If you have an opinion on this please could you add your comment. We are thinking of establishing a Challenge facebook which incorporates our work with the non for profit sector in terms of stories as written on this blog as well as featuring new trips, events and community projects. We could also invite people to post up pictures & videos after trips.
Social networking is here to stay but is it the right forum? Write comments here or email Mike directly at:
My concern is that the blog would get lost amongst lots of entries and so the stories become lost and lose their focus? What experience have you had with this?

Hi Mike,
I for one fully believe that Facebook *is* changing the way we work, whether we like it or not. If you want your friends/colleagues/potential customers to see what you’re up to, you need to be on Facebook, and you need to be visible in their eyes with what you do.
I don’t think that the Facebook should take over a blog, but in terms of engaging your audience, it’s certainly handy for people who know you. I would also join an Intrepid Challenges FB group.. as I am a former Intrepid leader who is now trying to promote tourism as a means for poverty alleviation in Bangladesh…
