    I see that there are now over 120 ZooChat members on the Facebook page, and I suppose that many individuals wish to remain anonymous due to the pressure from their respective zoo organizations. There are numerous zoo fans on this site, but also a number of zoo keepers and others who work with zoo-related establishments.

    I am on Facebook; Paul D Murphy; Manchester.

    Annoys me as I live in Chester which is 50 miles to the south of Manchester !

    I am struggling to match zoochat names against some of the pictures !

    Appropriately my picture is of me hunched over a keyboard ! :)

    I'm now member of the facebook group as well.

    I was wondering. Snowleopard said there are 120 people on there, but i only see 52. I'm looking at the wrong thing or something? :)

    I think that the number of ZooChatters on Facebook is up to about 185 now. That is how many that are on the actual "ZooChat" page.

    I've made the links to the official ZooChat Facebook and Twitter pages more obvious over on the right of the page.

    Trawling up an old thread here, but there does not seem to have been much activity on the site.
    I have just joined Facebook and still learning the nuances.:confused::p

    Largely the Facebook page is unused, what would get put there anyway? Its most useful feature is updates when ZooChat itself is down, which allows updates to be made whiled we all experience withdrawl symptoms.
