Frankly, I don't fully believe that. We have zero statistical evidence to prove that assumption or any other assumption. What I see on Facebook is quite simply (and again, based on assumption, not stats) is that this is yet another subset of users/supporters of openSUSE. We have people who follow on IRC, we have people who follow on mailing lists, we have people who follow on Forums, and we have people who follow on Facebook.
Now, if we have different pockets of supporters out there, we cannot assume that those who are on Facebook follow mailing lists, can we?
And from a marketing perspective, Facebook is a valuable tool to demonstrate that there is support for openSUSE. Cutting out those numbers through a process of passive weeding is not good for us.
But we got news.o.o, haven´t we? So it might making sense to announce it there and let it go out over Twitter and some facebook sites. I think, jdd is right what the velocity of networks is. I mean, since there´s a new post by "openSUSE" on Facebook, I normally share the link or post on my profile too, If anyone, who is on facebook from us, do this with the announcement of the new group and the resign-in, we will handle it much more faster then "just" mark it on the mailing list -kdl -- Kim-Dennis Leyendecker openSUSE Ambassador / openSUSE Wiki Team DE HAVE A LOT OF FUN! http://www.opensuse.org | http://www.suse.de Have you tried SUSE Studio?
