Nellie, Facebook is no longer simply about teenager posting pictures of their latest party... Many well-known companies use FB as a channel for communication with their customers. And also many respectable museums use FB as a platform in the internet. It's easier to maintain as a 'traditional' website and you can get response from the readers very quick.
I wouldn't condemn the use of FB in advance - give the RC a chance, it's the quality of information that counts, not the platform .
