Waze USA Community-Managed Facebook Page

Post by karlcr9911
We now have a Waze Facebook page for the US community. This page is managed by US Champs and is not operated or supervised by Waze.

We will post helpful tips for Wazers, community stories, highlights about editing, events, etc.

https://www.facebook.com/wazeusa

Please like and follow and share our new page.

Thank you!

They are formed individually. I created the Waze Arizona FB page after consensus with the rest of the AZ editors. I then extended power of the page to the top editors by giving them admin rights to said page.

The issue with making 50 FB group pages for each state is the same reason I brought it up with the local group. I must have someone dedicated to keeping it up to date. That means each states page would need someone tasked with keeping info flowing through it. An inactive page is not helpful/useful. It's the same with our AZ twitter page. I think I started that one and gave access to key members.

We now have a large following on twitter so activity is a must.

If you want a page for each state on a social media platform, you must first find a group of ppl dedicated and willing to run them. You must also ensure they have local information at the ready (local govt agency media pages to link in posts) and how to properly utilize each platform.

Places like NY, NJ, TX, CA would thrive well on social media. The less populated states like ND, SD, etc wouldn't have as much activity so you would most likely group them into one (Waze Plains).

I wasn't sure if the Waze region was being used or something else since I'm not familiar with New England other than Brady sucks and the Pats are going to lo.....ahem. Good to know.
