Iowa ARES joins Facebook

The merging of amateur radio and Web 2.0 continues. ARRL Iowa Public Information Coordinator Grant Olsen, KC0VTY, sent me this message this afternoon via Facebook:

I have created a Facebook Page for Iowa ARES. I invite ham radio operators who are registered on Facebook to become a fan and invite their family and friends to do the same.

Click here to view the fan page.

The merging of ham radio and social networks interests me greatly. We are seeing a lot of technophobic hams jump on the Twitter and Facebook bandwagon. Some are “good at it,” some aren’t. I’ve been wanting to write about it for some time now, and I will very shortly. For now, I will say that Iowa ARES is definitely taking a step in the right direction with their fan page.
