My first Goal was to set up a Trello account.
I was introduced to Trello and then it came up again on Pinterest where individuals use it to track their Genealogical research. I can now mark it off my list that I have set up an account and I am learning how to put it to work for me.
One of my other goals is related to Trello. Task 3 – document questions posted to Facebook groups.
I have found a handful of groups on Facebook that I have posted specific research questions. I often forget that I posted until an answer pops up. Because I have not been documenting my questions I have always been afraid to post a second time for fear of asking the same questions(s) again.
Trello has solved this problem. I have created a board for “Facebook groups” and a card for each specific group. On those cards I can list the question that I asked. In the comments under each question I document the reply. I think as I utilize Facebook groups more this will be a useful tool for tracking the questions but also to track the responses for further research. I have not followed up on the tips and responses to my questions and this is something that I need to do better with.
Do you use Facebook Groups? Do you use Trello, if so, how?
