Sharalyn Hartwell Ok, so get ready to laugh, but I have a question. I heard that AP has made an official change on the way to write Web site. The 2010 version isn't out yet and my copy is a bit dated. What is the status on it these days? I think I heard something about the new standard being website?

We also regularly post information about any sales/offers running (I've read trend articles w/evidence many people become Facebook/Twitter fans of brands to get special deals/offers.)

After that it slowed dramatically, but new fans join daily and it's been over a year. http://www.facebook.com/asha.org

In the association world Facebook is a good tool because it's a good way to engage younger members or future members--audiences who might never know to come to our website.
