I've been unable to find "an app to do that automatically", post fb posts onto LPB. Your guidance would be or is needed.

I think I had read that on Facebook Facebook.

Always feel free to post your facebook posts here (is there an app to do that automatically?) and to post things from here on your facebook. This is a service and a hub for people with similar interests and it seems you are attracting people with same interests on Facebook.

LeimertParkBeat.com is getting 3,000 unique views every month and has nearly 500 members.

There's a lot of like-minded people out there!

Each day someone would inquire, "Who are you, also where are you"? At that point Leimert Park on facebook had 400 plus friends. So it was a easy decision, plus labor saving. I've discern some felt that I have no rights to L P on FB due to my living in St. Louis. Hey, they had a chance to the name. I saw the opening and put my heart and soul into it, like you enhager with the "Leimert Park Beat". I'm sure that you heard the same. Anyway, with my connections in "the Village" it's like having reporters there. Some of my friends I allow to post on the wall their events and so forth. Like Kwanzaa, the producer and I worked together with Harold Hambrick with his Black Expo. Africa By the Yard, Sika's, KAOS, Aziz and others enjoy what I've done to highlight Leimert Park. My goal, bring Leimert Park back to the glory days of Richard Fulton and his 5th Street Dick's Coffee House days. When I worked the door at Dick's the whole world knew of us, "the Village". Hey, have I answered this before? Hope all is going well with you at USC. That master program you're in will enhance the LPB. You're in the vanguard of social networking on the net. See you in 2010.

Hosea has been posting as Leimert Park on Facebook, getting the word out to the diaspora, the uninitiated and the locals alike about what's going on in the Village. He's attracted quite the following.

He recently unveiled his secret identity.

What made you feel you needed to let people on Facebook know that you weren't "Leimert Park"?
