Are you a closet (or in the open) facebook user? I don't use mine very much, but that is because I am aware of the obsessive nature of these social networking websites. And, I'm too busy following blogs.
Anyway, you can become a member of the Amsterdam Weekly facebook group and receive hot tips, news, contest info and more.
Also find out about events that the Amsterdam Weekly team are hosting- this is good for English speaking newcomers to meet some interesting expats. I'm not working for them by writing this, I just really enjoy their content! And their contests- with free stuff!
