Ya mean I’m not too old for Facebook?
Holly Clanahan
In some recent meetings at AQHA, we’ve discussed online communities – things like MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter - and how many horse lovers (both members and potential members) can be reached through those venues. You can click the links above to see our pages – and how many friends and fans we’ve already accumulated.
But if you’re anything like me, when you hear talk about social networking sites, you think “teenager.” I’m waaay too old to be hanging out with the whippersnappers. But I also don’t like sitting in meetings where I don’t know what everybody else is talking about. So, in the interest of work-related research, I grudgingly made myself a profile on Facebook and tried to get familiar with the site.
And then I surprised myself. It was actually pretty darned cool.
I connected with some old friends from college whom I hadn’t seen since graduation, friends from work and even a stray family member or two. And yes, there are lots of horse people on there, too. And no, I’m apparently not too old for this!
America’s Horse Daily is just one of our online efforts to help connect horse people – it’s like chatting with friends in the barn aisle. So check out our other pages … you might just surprise yourself, too!
Happy surfing!
