Exclusively for Rubyists, a community on Facebook

I was surprised to know that there is no community for Ruby P.ming
Language on Facebook, where 1+ billion people are around.

Please visit and give it a LIKE to get updates, jokes and quizzes and
more importantly keeping alive the spirit of all the Rubyists.

Thanks.

Thing is, some people do not use Facebook and never will.

I belong to that group.

I don’t think it is good to exclude people, those barriers are not good
at all.

Yeah… but some people don’t use email, or the internet, or computers.
So
that doesn’t mean a facebook group shouldn’t exist just because some
individuals choose to not use facebook…

I understand the difference but what I am saying is that just because
some
individuals do not use something doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t exist,
no
matter what it is.

If the original poster wanted to create a facebook group, he created it,
and whether you or anyone else belongs to it or not shouldn’t dictate
that
group’s existence.

Email, internet and computers are an abundant technology. Facebook is a
commercial business. See the difference?

Yeah, I understood what you said. I’m pretty sure Marc did, too.

By the way, I’m creating a new exclusive daily video conference for
Rubyists. It’s a meeting forum held via Facetime. :wink:

I think you should go for it.

Err? There most definitely is a Ruby community on Facebook. There’s also
a
Ruby On Rails one as well.

My complain would rather be that a public and open forum like this one
is
(ab)used to advertise a community in a closed shop. Aren’t there any
means
inside Facebook to pull attraction to this new group? (And if not, why
are
so many people using this platform?)

Kind regards

I started an exclusive ruby Diaspora pod in October. No one seems to
have
found it yet…

Funny how we say these things about Facebook, but we don’t see this
expressed about a another commercial social network which hosts git
repositories :slight_smile:

Fwiw, I’m in the same group as Marc, but I also agree with Aghori.

And just to make sure people can find it:

Ruby Programming | Facebook

It has over 3200 members, versus the 35 of the new one. Also the new
one seems to be a “page” rather than a “group”.
