Facebook, Anyone?
Part Two of Three

By Dave Andrusko

Chances are that almost everyone reading TN&V is not merely minimally computer-savvy but possessing well up the IT food chain abilities. One of those capabilities/capacities is extensive use of Social Networking, which we have written about a lot in this space and in National Right to Life News.

(Which reminds me, please don't forget to order your extra copies of NRL News' Special January 2010 Commemorative Edition--"Pro-Abortion President Barack Obama and Pro-Lifers: One Year Later." Ordering information is online at http://nrlc.org/news/Jan222010.pdf.)

Why am I mentioning this today? I get occasional emails from people saying they just ran across an edition of Today's News & Views posted on Facebook. I know, in fact, that there are many, many others who haven't taken the time to write, with similar stories to tell.

But today I received several cheerful correspondences, informing me that they had just discovered TN&V. Far more important, of course, is that in encountering TN&V they will learn about National Right to Life and how they can plug in to the largest single-issue pro-life organization in the world.

I have written the following three sentences about Social Networking and TN&V many times, but I do again today. Why? Because every time I do I know that the message zips around cyberspace with wonderfully--sometimes spectacularly--productive results. Those three sentences are….

When you read this, or any other edition, if you like it, go to NRLC's homepage: www.nrlc.org.

At the top, under "Stay Informed," you'll find "Today's News & Views." Once you click that on, you can share TN&V with any of your social networking outlets, from AIM Share to something called YouMob.

I'm relatively new to all this, so I am still stunned by (a) the responses Facebook entries can generate, and (b) the staggering number of "friends" that people can have. The impact is as incredible as the math is simple.

If you have, say, 200 friends and you post TN&V on your wall, the multiplier effect of exposing TN&V to all these individuals is nothing short of amazing. You get the point, I'm sure.

Drop me a line when you post an edition of TN&V, won't you? The address is daveandrusko@gmail.com.

Thank you!
