Field Gulls Facebook Page

by John Morgan on Oct 24, 2008 3:59 PM PDT

If anyone knows how to use this, go ahead and clue me in. I had this dream last night where I was told I had increase Field Gulls' readership to 5,000 daily visits before the end of the season. No shit. Weird--actually a really boring and pathetic dream. I'm usually fighting robots and shit. Anyway, I'm developmentally disabled when it comes to social networking, but I should make an attempt. I'm also looking to add a MySpace page.

Fighting robots?

Too many Will Smith movies.

I expected a Fieldgulls group, but I guess it's a person/entity?

Is this what you wanted?

No.

I have no idea what the distinction is.

I'm no social networking nerd either, so I guess someone else can help.

Though I think the way it is, is that if you have a facebook account under ‘John Morgan’, you can create a group called Field Gulls, and you’ll be the admin of it, and then people can join the group and post in it or whatever (not really sure what the point is….) Though the way it is set up serves the same purpose I believe.

It's deserted and no one knows how to access it.

Well, I added it.

so... there's a PERSON named "Field Gulls"

That’s an interesting way to do it… probably should be a “group”. Lanterman has it right.

Otherwise we’re all going to have a friend called “Field Gulls”.

Department of Redundancy Department?

I fail to see how having a facebook page is helpful for Field Gulls. I think that social networking has supplanted most people’s needs to have their own “johndoe.com” personal blog, but the Field Gulls blog serves most of the same group functionalities as a facebook or myspace page (fanposts, videos, commentary). Besides, there are already Seahawks pages on facebook (the Watercooler Network is the one I visit) — better to just promote the blog through posting on those existing pages.

But if you think a facebook page will just be good for publicity, then yes, Lanterman’s right. You need to create a group with you as the admin in order for it to work the way you want.
