Simple opportunities for discussion are great ways to break up the monotony of broadcast messages/updates. They help keep interest in your presence, and engage the learner in simple ways.

1) Noticeably absent from this list—Facebook. We have consciously chosen not to have a presence there. Most of our team uses Facebook for their personal life and prefers to keep work separate. If we focused on a topic that was very widely appealing (horses or 4H), it might be different, but our manure management program would not benefit much through outreach to team member’s personal networks. One sub-project (the one funded through the beginning farmer grant program) does have a page http://facebook.com/envagleaders which has a fairly specific purpose that is likely to be more appealing to personal contacts (highlighting positive environmental stewardship on farms and ranches). Even without a FB presence, facebook.com was still the #23 website (in 2010) sending us referral traffic (I assume it is due to other eXtension groups that promote web pages or webcasts that are cross-linked with our content). We continue to re-evaluate this choice and if a compelling purpose rears its head, we would probably go ahead and create a presence here.

The webcast interaction is great, the advisory groups bring a good audience perspective, the educational materials by the two sub-projects are being pilot-tested by volunteers from the target audience, interactions between our team members/contributors and their peers and colleagues is valuable in getting feedback or identifying priority areas for development, annual electronic survey to our email listserv, and social media allows us to ask questions as well as “push” information.
