Hey ExtremeJohn!

I always wondered what’s the point (ie: what’s different?) of having a facebook fan page if you already have a blog.

I mean you update blogs with pictures, posts, comments, etc. – isn’t a fanpage redundant?

And for a blogger, isn’t it just another site that you have to maintain and fill with even more unique content? Why bother if you already have a blog?

I dunno – maybe Facebook fanpages are for the folks who are blogophobic or something…I posted my “Where were you on Y2K” post on Facebook (see commentluv below if you’d like to tell me what YOU were up to!) and the Facebook folks who replied read my post on my blog but REPLIED ON MY FACEBOOK WALL!?! Go figure…

So, what does a Facebook fanpage offer that a blog doesn’t for:

A) Your readers/fans
B) For you?

Cheers!

- Don

“As for the friend list I keep it small. I have about 300 and honestly I know maybe only 50 among the 300 lol.”

This is really the case with me and sometimes someone appear in my chat window saying ‘Hi’ and I reply whose there? lol.

Social network is great when used to connect with friends or maybe people who have similar interest but I think these days Facebook friends has become like a competition of “hey I have more friend than him/her”.

I dont spend much time there. On average about 1 hour per week there just to see who has requested friend and to change some stuff such as status.

As for the friend list I keep it small. I have about 300 and honestly I know maybe only 50 among the 300 lol.

The good part of facebook is when I use it to trace back old friend I have not met for years. Its cool when it is used to really socialise but when it become an addiction its bad.

Facebook Has grown a lot in meantime..and Myspace could not keep up the pace.. More over spam was a big reason which never let myspace to stay close to facebook now..

@Extreme John,

The hard part is making sure I respond to each group appropriately. Not selling to my family and friends and not be a sweet and sappy to my business followers.

I have never used Myspace, but I really like Facebook for connecting with old friends. I am still looking for some old college roommates who I lost touch with.

I had not considered using FB to promote myself or my business. Thanks.

@Extreme John, thanks so much – traffic’s been decent today, I think I figured out a way of promoting this post: definitely hitting a few music forums to get in on discussions.

Hi John,
This is good news that facebook is becoming the best network tool for you.It’s not scaring you now.
As my opinion , Facebook is the best social networking tool for we bloggers.
No matter who is requesting you to be the friend.Now the time is to get more friends instead of counting and checking their previous compatibility with you….Go ahead now and accept the friend request.

I’m experiencing the same thing, I don’t personally know some of my friends in FB. These friends of mine never failed to invite me to join their Fan page. Well, that can be very helpful for them in extending their connections. Most probably, in that way, it can help you too.
