Gargaro's World: The NEWS Joins Facebook

March 02, 2009

The ACHR NEWS has made its arrival on Facebook. For those of you who don’t know, Facebook is an online social network that allows you to connect with people all over the world. You can meet everyone from that old high school flame to like-minded business individuals. And now you can connect with fellow NEWS readers as I have recently created an ACHR NEWS group.

Now, some might say my actions are a pathetic attempt to justify checking my Facebook page periodically on company time. However, I like to interpret my actions as that of a go-getting employee who wants to share the good NEWS wherever he goes.

There are a ton of groups on Facebook. I am a member of 29 groups. Everything from groups that help me network (Central Michigan University Alumni group) to those that simply amuse me (If You Aren’t Supposed to Eat Animals, Why Are They Made out of Meat group).

Our group will be a place to get updates on The NEWS in addition to talking shop with HVAC contractors, technicians, etc. from all around the world. Hopefully, it will be great for networking.

By the way, a quick search showed that Alan Thicke’s group had 69 members. Now, if The NEWS group can’t beat a washed-up Canadian actor, then I might go into a deep depression.

So, help me out and join our social network. Just sign up for a free Facebook account, and once you get settled, type Air Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration NEWS in the search box. Let’s beat Alan Thicke!
