General Discussion / Help A Friend and St. Jude
« on: January 31, 2011, 08:40:57 PM »
Please repost this on facebook, twitter, blogs, forums, anywhere, thanks. You might have seen the TV ads for Mercedes Twitter Race, well a friend of mine, Todd Sanders (twitter @tsand), won the chance to race a Mercedes-Benz S400 from L.A. to Dallas to Super Bowl 45! He and Team S are doing it for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. I hope you will help me and him on his race.

Follow Todd at http://twitter.com/tsand then tweet #MBteamS during the day from Feb 2 through Feb 4.

You could win also. Sign up with Team S at

Thanks,

General Discussion / VATUSA use of social media like facebook, myspace, twitter
« on: October 29, 2009, 09:52:41 AM »
I found VATUSA twitter sites  http://twitter.com/flyvatusa and http://twitter.com/vatusa

Both of these have a profuse amount of tweets about connections to the network and online events.

I found VATUSA facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/VATUSA/60085365324

No wall updates since January 2009.

Nothing really about VATUSA on MySpace (one pilot's videos).

So my question is this: is VATUSA actively using social media outlets to enhance user experience? Personally, I think it would be a great idea. In the pros column is more transparent communication. The cons are it takes time and a "real people answering the phones" mentality.

As great as this and the VATSIM forums are, most VATSIM members don't visit them on a regular basis - myself included - and so they miss opportunities like the SATCA videos or the World Flight or FNO signups etc. Social media outlets afford the opportunity to spread information quickly to a wider population, not only VATSIM members.

Just a thought.
