TAFP joins Facebook to further expand network, interact with members

As part of TAFP’s continual effort to connect with members, TAFP Communications has joined the social networking Web site Facebook. Your Academy now has its own “fan page,” a Web page within the Facebook network where Academy staff can post upcoming events, videos, pictures, links and more. Even more importantly, TAFP members may become “fans” of TAFP by selecting “Become a Fan” at the top of the TAFP fan page. By becoming a fan, you will be able to post comments, start discussions on the discussion board, RSVP for events and more, interacting with your Academy in a new way. (Note: If you RSVP that you will attend Annual Session on Facebook, you must still register through TAFP’s traditional registration portal.)

If you are already a member of Facebook, you may find TAFP’s fan page by following this link. You may also find the TAFP fan page by entering “Texas Academy of Family Physicians” in the search feature in the top right-hand corner of www.facebook.com after logging in. If you are not a member of Facebook, go to this link and choose the green “Sign Up” button at the top of the page to follow instructions on setting up your Facebook profile.

Have you recently joined other social networking phenomenon Twitter? TAFP joined Twitter in March to keep members up to date with the day-to-day goings on at the Academy. TAFP Communications posts 140-character updates answering the question “What are you doing?” These posts and our interactions with other Twitter users are chronicled on our timeline. You can join the fun by signing up to follow TXFamilyDocs. Unsure of what Twitter is or how to join? Read our previous coverage on Twitter here.
