Taking its cue from entrepreneurs and teenagers everywhere, it seems that our little island town now has a Facebook page of its very own. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. What can I say, I'm old.

Great idea but who is responsible for the Facebook Page and its content? Can they post anything? Last photo of a wrecked golf cart on the beach is a bit unseemly. Just curious.

it appears to NOT be an official site, rather another of those "fun" things that people put up. Better than that "How I Lost 47lbs in One Week by Drinking Belikin and Gargling Peanut Butter" page, however.

Spot Burke is a wonderful, loving spotted dog who lives at Reef Village, is sort of the local ambasador of the north side of the island. He never forgets a face and gives the best kisses.

carbunkletrumpet is interesting enough to suffer through a thong photo or two.

I think this is indicative of the number of lurkers that frequent the AC.com message boards.

in addition to that, and people suggesting it to their SP friends, fb posts a notification as each of us on FB joins (ex: "peter jones became a fan of san pedro"), then all of our friends see it and only have to click a button to join too. like that old they tell two friends commercial. it can grow exponentially. pretty cool.
