Overheard on Facebook

Here is a sampling of comments and happenings on our Facebook page and the social media world from the past week: 

• Our Facebook fan base is still growing! We gained 6 new followers as of Friday night and were at 1,570 fans. Our Twitter fan base is also moving on up—553 followers. 
• We try to keep up with everything possible, but sometimes we get tips from readers. Tabitha Bagnell asked if we had heard anything about another robbery at the coin store in downtown Woburn. After a quick contact with Woburn Police, we found out that police were called to the store, but all was OK. Thanks, Tabitha, for the heads-up!
• We here at Woburn Patch are super-excited about the Boston Bruins' trip to the Stanley Cup finals. We asked our Facebook fans . Danita DiGregorio ‎said she'd be taking in all the hockey action at the on Elm Street.
• We love when readers contribute to our site. Debbie O'Leary posted an awesome photo of Horn Pond after the mid-week storm to both our Facebook and Woburn Patch sites. The photo is alongside this column.  
• Our Local Voices bloggers are absolutely awesome.  This week, we welcomed Krista Guenin to our list of terrific bloggers! After we posted Krista's first blog, Kelly Dorlarque Cluett said, "Great job, Krista. Enjoyed the article."
• As always, we try to post a conversation starter each night on our Facebook page, so be sure to join us there after 7 p.m. nightly!
