Facebook your responsiblities
A little birdie told us recently that the ICAEW was looking at the whole social networking phenomenon, considering using sites like Facebook and MySpace to try and communicate with younger audiences.
Everyone’s doing it, don’t you know. TS even has its own Facebook page, if you look hard enough that is.
Only the ICAEW may find there is already a site devoted to it on the FB network, and it is already helping to, um, ‘communicate’ some of the issues the body faces.
TS doesn’t know how to put this delicately, but it’s called ‘ICAEW s***s b***s’, only, um, without the asterisks (this is a family magazine). Sample comments on the site include one from a member (or it may be a student) saying ‘I hate Tax’. Another says: ‘i [sic] can’t bloody believe there is a group called ICAEW s***s b***s!!?! Anyway it does.’
Still, the ‘tute was pleased that members were willing to at least talk about it.
‘It’s great members are using these platforms, and that it’s
member-driven,’ said an ICAEW bod, while desperately trying to remove
the group from the site.

TS (also referred to as Confucius) says: 'Think beyond the boundaries of tax and consulting services. We are all TS, yet none of us are.'

I don't eat roast duck but if you serve it cold we can connect on Facebook where I have a group for Ambitious Professionals.

No single TS page on Facebook unfortunately, more a collection of TS-style attitudes and thoughts spread across the site - sorry to be so cryptic, and frankly unhelpful.
One solid piece of advice, everyone's favourite accountant Colin is on Facebook. Search for him under 'Colin Collins'.
