Always on the lookout for better ways to serve our audience, we’re considering starting a Facebook page for the Minnesota Budget Project in time for the legislative session. Our goal is to have a place where we can share our work, share the good work of others and continue our quest to get vital tax and budget information into the hands of those who can use it.
How would we use our Facebook page?
- To report real-time important facts we are picking up at the Capitol or in other places
- To let people know when an interesting event or great training opportunity is coming up
- To share useful research being released by us or others
Being a fan of ours on Facebook would enable you to get information even more quickly, access it more easily through your mobile device, share it with others and engage in a conversation with us. In all, this would build on the mission of our blog – to let you know, what we know, when we know it.
However, before committing to this new strategy, we thought we’d do a little market research (and try out our blog’s survey feature!). So, please take our poll and let us know whether there is interest in seeing us on Facebook. Thank you!
(Just to clarify - since a few people have raised concerns since we posted this survey – Facebook would be in addition to everything we already do, it would not replace anything. Our blog and e-mails would continue as always.)
