Thanks everyone! I have the needed "likes". Now I have to figure out how to get my tsptalk username reserved. Apparently I had used it in my first attempt to create the TSP Talk Facebook page, so it says it is not available. 
It's always something.
Thanks for your support.

So, until I get the 25, the current link will be... http://www.facebook.com/pages/TSP-Talk/164503663590403
If you have a Facebook page, and have a minute, please check it out, and if you don't mind, hit the "like" button so I can get that friendlier URL created.

Hi,
I kind of agree that a facebook page is the least a Com.Sci. grad should have 'going on', but I don't like it for I've heard bad things about facebook.

I used to work there - 25 years. I left in 2008, but the wife is still there.
Were you looking at the Wikipedia page? James had created that Wiki page and I think the facebook page is automatically created from Wiki. not sure.
I deleted my old TSP Talk page because it was set up as a personal account by mistake, instead of a business account. I finally figured things out. Well, almost. Instead of having friends, you get "likes".

Didn't know you worked for the IRS............now I'm walking on eggshells.............:nuts: Tom, I've been a "fan" or "liked" the TSPTalk facebook site for a while now, do I have to "like" the new one now?

You can also do a search of TSP Talk and it's the one with our logo. There's also a TSPTALK on there from wikipedia.

Your link doesn't seem to work for me.
Thanks. I always feel like I am walking on egg shells when in facebook. You never know what each click will do. The kids seem to get it, but they are fearless and don't always understand what they are subjecting themselves to. Us older folks are a little more leery and are not as excited to have everyone we know see our "stuff".
Of course TSP Talk's page on Facebook will be very basic. We shouldn't have anything on there, or see anyone post anything, that would be considered personal - except for perhaps some personal opinions about the market. So, for that purpose, I am not too worried about privacy settings at the moment.

Ire and scepticism, yeah. I've had some isssues with the privacy settings. I think that "liking" someone or something makes you instant friends with everyone else who "likes" it.
I joined mainly for a high school reunion group and stuck around because of a couple of relative's pages. I found at one point everything I posted on the group page was showing up for public view. Not exactly cool as it was supposed to be a closed group. Another issue is that what you see on your page isn't necessarily what others, friends and non friends, see.
Something facebook did this week was force an app called Instant Personalization on us. It automatically shares everything with yelp, pandora and probably others. You have to search for it and turn it off.
Looking at the help function for privacy leads you to blogs about how great social sharing is and how you should use the recommended privacy settings. Finding out how to actually shut something off ain't easy.
Yeah, I'll like you and see what happens privacy wise. Should be an interesting social experiment.

After several half hearted attempts at creating a Facebook business page for TSP Talk, I think I have finally set one up the way I want it. Blog posts, some charts, comments, etc., will show up on the page.
Being 40-something, I have not fully grasped the need for facebook, but apparently if you don't have one, you are falling behind the rest of the modern world.
From what I understand I won't be able to have a "friendly" Facebook URL until we get 25 "likes". Having just created the page I have 0.

Thanks! I appreciate it!
got to keep with the times!
Remember to go in and secure your privacy settings to Friends and Networks. There are many "how to" pages for help spread about the web that describe concerns and best practice.
This has been a Zuckerberg faux pah that has generated much ire and skepticism.
