The Many Faces of Facebook

Facebook can be delightful until someone tells you they’re brushing their teeth, or having blueberries for breakfast, or write something completely offensive (so much for free speech—by the way, I do believe in it). Facebook helped me reconnect with some old high school friends and I liked that. It’s also a good way to share links and videos that I enjoy. I wonder sometimes if it’s wise for my young friends to post risqué photos of themselves, but that’s none of my business (free speech, again). It’s a tool and a very useful one.

I’m still not clear on my strategy—I know content is very important. How do I keep the fresh creative content flowing so that it’s worthy of a following and fans. I thought perhaps we could post funny 1-min video vignettes weekly or monthly. It’s difficult to think in that big picture when I’m still struggling with privacy buttons. More research and more time will definitely help.

Though I have had a facebook account for a while, I’ve not really used it that much. I didn’t even know about the friend’s list function. Here’s what my list looks like:

I didn’t know about the username function either. It took me a while to sort out all those privacy buttons to make it work. Ta, ta, here it is… the link to my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/chieneiyu

I created a fan page for my lead actor in an upcoming feature. Here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mark-S-Barnett/354540099131

And here’s the twitter screenshot promoting the page:

This turned out to be more complicated than I expected, but I’m happy to learn it (now that I’m past the frustration). I’m sure it could be more elegant. Please let me know if you have any pointers.  Am I doing this right? Thank you
