this is really good step for the person who want to send some greeting cards and wishes to their near and dear ones, here they can find so many good sites to do this.

Hi Lee,

Congratulations on your first grand baby. I’m glad facebook groups provided the communication you needed.

I belive in CarePages and other specialized communities because they allow you to “Start from scratch” somewhat during a health event. Facebook is the latest and greatest, but i’m guessing most people interested in facebook also were on Friendster and MySpace too until those sites became too noisey and meaningless. Most people have hundreds on their facebook friends list but if somehing happened to a close family member, they might not want someone sending well wishes along side throwing sheep at people and the latest pictures of their healthy baby or wedding. I think there’s a sensitivity chip missing on facebook. There’s also the “meet others like me” feature that facebook can’t offer because you can’t really meet anyone new.

That said, finding a way to work with Facebook is CarePages’ challenge right now and we are working on it!

I agree Facebook groups will be great as a support structure. I just wrote a post on “Social Media For Health Care Professinals” Would love to know your opinion on it.
