Barbadians Get Ready to Welcome Amistad Using Facebook E-mail
Written by Wojtek (Voytec) Wacowski   
Wednesday, 26 March 2008

As Amistad's Webmaster I am delighted to promote the efforts of Christal P. McIntosh  from Barbados to promote Amistad's visit to Bridgetown. Kudos for using Facebook tools to promote the event in the best spirit of web social networking!

 

As you may noticed, Amistad is active on Facebook - we are facing the problem how to connect the Fans of the Past (that's you) with the Technology of the Future (actually, it is of Today!).
 

If you do not have your own account on Facebook, it might be a high time to get one. Join as a Friend of Amistad and discover for yourself what all that "Facebook thing" is about. Click the Read more link below to watch a short video explaining in English the concept in a way that may convince you to start your adventure with Facebook. (You may even became a friend of Captain Bill Pinkney!)  

 

 

If you are still not convince, please read an article published in Slate by Emily Yoffe it is already one year old,  and there are many more people like Emily using Facebook nowadays.
