Which preposition should I use in the preceding sentence?

I informed her about the reunion over/on the facebook.
- Thread starter flamboyant lad
- Start date
I'd use "on" or possibly "through." "On" is most likely, though.
(And by the way, it's just "Facebook," not "the facebook.")

What exactly did you do?
If you posted information about the reunion on Facebook, you weren't exactly, directly, informing any one individual.
if you told her about the reunion "by" Facebook, this is the medium you used to inform her of it; if you told her about the reunion "on" Facebook, this is where thte meeting is to take place (for me, anyway).
You can send invitations to specific people via Facebook. I got one just a week or so ago. I would still say that my friend sent it to me "on" (or perhaps "through") Facebook
Not me. For me, "on Facebook" is pretty much the same general idea as "on the phone." It's a communication medium for me, and I don't think I'm alone.
So for you, Kate, "on Facebook" could mean either of my suggestions?
I'm not sure I understand your question, so allow me to clarify. For me "on Facebook" means "through the medium of Facebook." She (my friend) had told me about the open house in person, but the official announcement was an invitation sent via Facebook's messaging system. She told me "on Facebook," in other words.
I'm not sure what I'd say if I wanted to convey that the reunion was actually going to be some sort of virtual Facebook gathering.
Perhaps "I told her there would be a (virtual) reunion) held on Facebook (on [date], at [time])."?
