The FB page makes it easier to post photos, group of photos and respond to questions and/or comments much faster. Efficiency goes up tenfolds in the group. I have almost completely stopped posting photos on the forum because I have to upload the picture somewhere else first (flickr), then create links to it in order to show a picture. But on FB, all I do is snap a picture and immediately upload it. It's fast and easy.
Also, it feels a little more personable when there are REAL names and faces to who is saying what. But I dunno, maybe that's just me and I'm biased? After all, my SN here is my real name and my avatar is my actual face (in the dorkiest look, ever).
Furthermore, people respond quickly on FB. Probably because 90% of the world is always on FB anyway, and so they can combine their orchid life and personal life, all in one page. It's a win-win situation for me.
If y'all haven't joined the group yet, now is as good of a time as ever. Lots of member activity. Perhaps it's due to Spring. When our plants grow, there's something to show off!
