Let's hope this happens sooner rather than later.</p> <p><a href="http://www.timfullerton.com" title="www.timfullerton.com">www.timfullerton.com</a></p> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 00:07:39 -0400 timmah1 comment 1302 at http://www.techpresident.com http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/9419/improvements_to_facebook_groups <p>techPresident <a href="//www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/9329/daily_digest_10_8_07">reported yesterday</a> that "a number of participants are going to press Facebook to get rid of its 1000-person cap on email to group members" at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=4767059981">Facebook Political Summit</a> today in Washington, DC. Indeed, about 50 of us packed into the morning session and listened on as Facebook made two big announcements certain to make every group administrator happy.</p> <p><strong>Messaging to 1,000+ Supporters</strong><br /> Facebook currently <a href="http://www.allfacebook.com/2007/09/facebook-group-limits-do-you-agree">prohibits</a> administrators from sending bulk messages once a group reaches more than 1,000 supporters. There have been a few hints that Facebook was about to change this rule, including a recent message to the presidential campaigns stating that they’re "working on allowing politicians to message all their supporters."</p> <p>Facebook representatives this morning acknowledged a forthcoming "fundamental shift" in policies that will <strong>soon render the 1,000-supporter cut-off a thing of the past</strong> –- and not just for political candidates, but for other groups, as well. Changes should take place before January.</p> <p><a href="http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/9419/improvements_to_facebook_groups">read more</a></p> http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/9419/improvements_to_facebook_groups#comment Facebook Tue, 09 Oct 2007 15:41:21 -0400 Michael Bassik 9419 at http://www.techpresident.com
