Facebook has so many social groups, many of them for fun and leisure, but with new group formats, some have taken to Facebook with a more educational interest. Any forum or social group is a valuable tool, and should not be taken for granted. Facebook hasn't been labeled a popular site for Samoan, Tongan, or Maori talks, but it can be a useful platform for writing groups or study groups, maybe even a great place for sharing on Anthropological discussion.
The Bloggers Samoa Facebook group was first created in 2010, and was the first of it's kind trying to connect other Pacific bloggers and writers. The creation of "Bloggers Tonga" and "Bloggers Maori", soon followed that same year.
Oni Featherman "All three Facebook groups work on participation, so if there's nothing new, it may need some updating by it's members. Don't be discouraged for any lack of participation in any group. Theres always a benefit to good effort, always successful if one can learn from the project results
I would like to say these are study groups for inspiring Pacific writers. We've posted some free pacific themed buttons to spark conversation. Currently with the booming internet trends, we are discussing website templates using HTML 5 and XML, also new operating systems, useful and less useful. There was a talk on new open-source software for Word Processing that used to cost $300.00 in 1999, but is now a free online download. Tech talks include an upcoming apple iPad.
If you're looking for other Pacific study groups inside Facebook, there's the groups Samoans in Architecture, Samoan Biography Club, Mana History, The Polynesian Sculpture Challenge, Polynesian XXL Food, Tongan American Sports and many more. We do not know how long we will be running these projects though, and if groups end, feel free to restart the topics under new management."
