No autographs please.
So I gave in.
I've really been trying to boycott the whole "Fan Page" thing on Facebook. I just hate the name. I'm not a Hollywood celebrity, I'm just a photographer. I would much rather call you a friend than a fan.
But alas... everyone seems to be doing it... and I heard Facebook caps your friends on your personal page at 5,000... so as I approach that number, I didn't want to start rejecting people's friend requests, so I created a Fan Page in hopes that I can start separating personal and business just a tad.
I'm not exactly sure what the point is otherwise of Fan Pages, but then again, I didn't understand the point of Twitter at first... and once upon a time I didn't understand the point of blogs.... so I'm just assuming I will eventually come to understand the point of Fan Pages once I dive in and actually get things going.
One thing I have started is a discussion thread for you to post your photography questions. While I wish I had time to respond to everyone's emails and Facebook emails, the reality is I'm unable to, so this discussion thread on the Facebook Fan Page will be the best way to connect with me. I'm going to start something called "2 Question Tuesdays" here on my blog soon, and I'll be pulling questions from the discussion thread, so be sure to leave your questions there!
So there's my press release. I have a Fan Page. If you want to join it, I would love to have you there and participate! If not, no worries, I'm still trying to figure out the point too. :-)

I got an article on facebook fan pages I will send you a link to. there is definitely a business advantage to it. Its a great way to market to key demographics like seniors by running targeted facebook ads. I am glad to say I am both a fan and a friend! I like your 2 question idea. I may steal something like that in time!
Hey girly...I was very on the fence about Twitter and now I like it. Mainly for the networking aspect with other professionals in our industry. I have not yet seen the benefits of Twitter with clients but I'm sure that will come around. The other thing I have struggled with is the use of a blog. I have tried twice and failed miserably, mainly because I had no vision or purpose for it. I am in the process of creating a new one that I am determined to incorporate. I would love to chat more about your blog by the way...when you get a chance! I too am glad though that we can be friends as well as me "fanning" you. Take care and Blessings!
Don't care for the whole fan page name either. When I signed up, I thought it was a "business page" and would present as such. It is a great way to promote your business. :) I love your blog!!!
