An interesting parallel is drawn between the emergence of social media as a viable medium of news and marketing as compared to the initial reception that punk rock received back in the day.

After some aggressive “door-to-door” campaigning via our Facebook friends list, we’re proud to announce that we finally reached the 100 fans mark required by Facebook to register a designated URL for the Design Groupies fan page.

Now, instead of a long, overly-complicated URL no one could ever remember, we can more easily be found at:

www.facebook.com/designgroupies

Feel free to stop by our page, upload some photos or make a comment.

Much love goes out to all of our first 100 fans that helped us get there!
