It’s been up and running for just a week, but we’re really excited with the response so far, well over 500 members and growing fast. (wites Dan Isaacs, on the bike).
And the way some of the conversations have kicked off has been amazing.
Just have a look at the debate about the Kenyan government’s plans to conduct a national ‘gay census.’
We might not have reached the scale of the World Have Your Say blog, but we’re enjoying getting to know our listeners and hear what they have to say.
You want more pictures of our presenters, more lively discussion and a better idea of what’s coming up in the programme.
We’ll try to provide all that, but really the facebook group is for our listeners to talk to each other without us getting involved.
With your help, it’ll go from strength to strength. You’ll find us by typing BBC World Service Newshour into the facebook search engine. Or just cut and paste this – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=163459127696&ref=ts into your browser. Come and join the conversation. Dan

Does this mean the WS and Facey are on the way to merger?
No, Joe Polly; It doesn’t mean that World Service and Facebook are on
the way to a merger….
