Dear all, my five cents to this discussion, if I may add. The problem of facebook for me is that there is no search mechanism. As a consequence, questions one and the same will appear again and again as we saw here and how it is on ResearchGate now. Add content built-in filtering on top of that, what you see is a bit random, except highly active topics, and some important things will simply drown, thanks also to ‘infinite’ scrolling. I see the same now in our local perfumers group. Its owner has to write and update important posts lists, and to make sure index post won’t drown too. Thing is, who knows if the facebook group survive or not. I personally prefer emails as I can always check archives. To link the group to mailing list is a great idea.
