Facebook, anyone?

[Annette]

We just opened a company page at Facebook this morning. Anyone here a member? Still working to get the page to look the way we want, and haven't added all the features we're hoping will work. And the darn thing won't let me post my favorite pictures of Mac and Geo! Please take a look and let me know what you think. We need some folks on our fans list! Please?http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

Here's the link:
Shrapnel's Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shrapnel-Games-Inc/10437046793)

Thanks!

Consider it done! Which it will be, soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Facebook? I will check it out. I really despise Myspace.

You guys are, always have been, and always will be the best.

I've fooled around a bit with a MySpace page but am having trouble figuring out how to use it effectively for marketing. Facebook, at least on the surface, seems far more geared toward business networking. Any tips on MySpace are appreciated! Our page (under construction until we figure it out) is http://www.myspace.com/shrapnelgames (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=129 711667)
Not even close to as nice as the Facebook page, imo.

[Ed Kolis]

Heh, I see you can't make up your mind on Shrapnel's gender on Myspace... imagine the kind of hits you'd get if you put the company's actual age on there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

[Annette]

Yeah, that's the problem. On Facebook there is an option to set up a Product Page, which we've done. If such an option exists on MySpace, I've yet to find it. So I'm trying to make a personal page look like product page. Yuck! I tried entering the birth date of the company, 1999, but I get an error that I have to be at least fourteen years old. And is Shrapnel Games single or married? male or female? I'm losing hope of turning the page into anything respectably worthwhile http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

[Raapys]

Definitely female, single. And put in some pictures of those girls on the Dominions 3 advertisements!

[Annette]

Ahh, I get it. We set the profile so that lecherous men searching for prey will stumble across our page? Stats show our typical customer is a 34-55 year old male...interesting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

[mac5732]

lecherous??, na,,, just.. well..., hmmmm, oh well, I guess you might be right... hahahaha http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Myspace is very difficult to work with because of the insane coding they use and lack of user-friendly design.

As one of my colleagues put it: "1996 called, they want their html codes back"

Here's some handy resources

Thank you for the validation! I was beginning to think I was a total idiot. I'll look into your suggested resources!

[Annette]

Those are great resources, Azselendor. Thank you, again. I think I'm going to setup the page as a profile for Sarge? Anybody here remember him? Will take me some time, though, as I'll have to get him to answer the profile questions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Ed Kolis]

Oh yeah, I remember Sarge! He still appears as the "favicon" for the main Shrapnel page http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Vaguely. Which is a pretty good recollection, for me.

[Azselendor]

No problem, helping to decrapify myspace betters the world. I remember Sarge and looking forward to his email response columns.
