Alright then, at the suggestion of a friend and knowing some just will not use FACEBOOK I am trying out my first themed page on GOOGLE+ !

OBVIOUSLY, this will not appeal to those die hard against any Social Media site BUT I know a percentage of people were interested but not on Facebook but instead on Google+ so for those on Google+ and interested in AMIGA please consider my newly launched page:

https://plus.google....272728846208433

For those who ARE into Facebook please consider any or all of my groups that may appeal to you!

OK, i joined this one too (joined Google+ just for this). Though, I actually can't see following both the FB and this one too. Seems better to me to just stick to one or the other and tough crap to anyone who doesn't to join whatever to participate, but that's just me. Don't spread yourself too thin.

I'm still working my way through the Facebook postings! I started at oldest and working my way up. There's a LOT of stuff on there, stuff I've never seen before! Looks like a real good group, hopefully I can add to it if I can ever get myself up to current!

Really the Google + one is much more of an experiment just testing the waters. Again just for those who are more partial to Google+ but as for myself I wont be jumping ship anytime soon. The Facebook groups are my priority. Really though, the groups are created, it is the actual participation of the members that really decides where they go from here. That said, the Facebook groups are doing GREAT, I started with the Classic Gaming one now over 230 members and since the push on the Amiga group already up to over 70 members! The Google + page can manage itself, just wanted to give another option to the Facebook haters. Either way though thanks so much for all your support!

Thanks, well I did spend a lot of time adding material to the group and like my Youtube videos I try to add things for fans but at the same time not the same old stuff you seen a million times, I try to really post lesser known yet quality related material people will appreciate.

Any reason why the Facebook emulation one is a closed group?

They are ALL closed groups. Click the "ASK TO JOIN GROUP" button in the top right side.
Myself or the other admin will swiftly accept the request.
A "CLOSED GROUP" on FACEBOOK just means only members can view or make posts.




I tried the OPEN TO ALL option early on in my first Classic Gaming group and that resulted in trolls, fights, irrelevant posts etc .
Simply making them closed has eliminated all that as well as the need for me to baby sit my groups 24/7. It has also resulted in a great like minded
foundation of people in every group. THANKS.
