Stolen bikes

I think I've found a solution by creating a Twibe - twib.es/GW8 . Followers of the Twibe (hate these nerdy names) can post directly through the Twibe homepage and alerts are sent to all followers of the Twibe immediately.

The Twibe group page will also, after a period of time, pick up all Twitter posts with the tags #stolenbike and/or #stolenbikeuk.

So if I've got this right, the job is done. Use the Twibe page to post alerts that will be picked up immediately. @stolenbike with the relevant #tags for a less immediate response. Or, if you don't want to follow either but still want to post an alert to the stolenbikeuk twibe page just use the #tags.

Obviously for any of this to stand a chance of being of any use it requires people interested enough to follow either the Twibe or Twitter feed for stolenbikeuk. At the moment you've got me and three others ...

Is it not possible to do this on Facebook? Surely most people on here have an account already, and I would imagine most don't use the sites you suggest. Just an idea, I could be totally wrong!
