Any social media including Facebook had to start from the ground up with a small number of people.

What made it big were the people who joined, invited people, and invested time by creating groups, pages, and posts.

Don't see a page or group? Make one and let people know.

Have a church or business? Make a group and page here as well and add it to your list of contacts.

Stealing from a movie, if you build it here, people will come and have a reason to come here. Give them one and turn on those savvy skills you had to build a presence on Facebook.

CornerTable has the same ease of use as Facebook, but not the toxic parts such as fact-checking and the potential to grow as a social community based on what we make of it.

But this takes, inviting our friends, families, church members, customers, and more.

This takes us creating a presence here and then making it a place of content for them to come back, have content to digest, and in turn, create their own groups and pages.

There is a potential to have a site with the best of Facebook, a way to grow influence, business, and community, but also not have to be charged extra for what we get for free on Facebook, thus making it harder to move completely from Facebook.

CornerTable may not have it now, but it will by people willing to help CornerTable have reason to put what we would like to see in place and letting CornerTable know it's worth the time and investment as well letting those whom we invite know why they should come here and share photos, post recipes and all the fun and good stuff we loved about Facebook here.

You have the opportunity to build ground up here and not worry about losing what you have.
