Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

Surely a FB page would be a great way to share photos of builds?

Wow - you blew the dust off of this thread. Sorry, I have no answer...

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

Bumpity bump....














A girl needs a hobby...




Okay, okay, serious question - why isn't FB included in Share?





Pathetic question: And why did you unfriend me?!?!?! :cry:

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

James, I've got your back...all of this "new" media is more than I have cared to explore. Call me old, behind the times, even anti-social (been called that more than once); I just don't care to make the time, so no Facebook, no MySpace, no Twitter. This forum is about the only media "vice" that I have, beyond surfing the web (sounds so ancient these days). I'm more hands on, always involved in projects or simply relaxing with pizza, beer, and a good cigar.

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

i just joined, I just went to facebook and did a search for Forno Bravo,,, And now I am a Fan.....

The link you posted earlier works. I'll go make a friend request.


Edit: Well, it did until you removed it. Good thing I'd tried it earlier - I would hate to be turned down as a friend by the dog! (Search your name and you'll see what I mean!)

Not sure How I undid it the first time arch,, sorry

Mark Hope It woks

Hey Joe,

Yep. I'm trying the Go Slow approach to make sure I get it right, but we up and running.

I am excited to see how it goes. Once we get a few miles on the system and it's looking good, we will start to actively promote the site.

Let me know what you think!
James

Looks good!

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

OK, so I blew the go slow approach. You'll get lots of people joining now. Do I get a prize for being the first, after you, to join?

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

OK, this thread has managed to make me feel REALLY OLD!!

At any rate, I too am on the other FB - I joined last year as a way to sort of keep tabs on the kids.

(FYI for parents: if you make them add you as a 'friend' - with FULL viewing privileges - then you can be sure they aren't posting the dumb stuff, which kids often do, that can come back to bite them later - they can still maintain privacy in wall posts & inbox messages. Mine are really good kids and old enough to know what not to do but I've still caught a few things I made them correct.)

I now really enjoy using it to connect with people other than my kids but find that a lot of friends my age just aren't on it. I think they don't realize what they could be doing with it or they'd be there. I agree with Archena and everyone else - it's a great networking tool, both socially and commercially.

Can't wait to see an FB presence on Facebook!

(PS - just started blogging too.)

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

Um, James, did you join Facebook or LinkedIn? The Facebook web search finds you in LinkedIn but not Facebook.

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

I really don't need MORE things to keep up with on the internet!

I agree Frances... James definitely shouldn't create another "message board" type setting on FB. He should use it as a tease to drive people here.

A good example is the "official" US Virgin Islands page:US Virgin Islands | Facebook

Many of the links they have are articles on the real USVI gov't website.

Another excellent example: The official Disney World page:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Disneyworld/65077622844

Disney makes teaser posts on their Facebook page with links to their website.

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

I signed up for facebook a couple of months ago... its ok, but the problem is, I already spend so much computer time hanging out at Forno Bravo, I really don't need MORE things to keep up with on the internet!

How about flikr then? Couple of people were very interested in a picture of my oven I psted there, so of course I added a link.... maybe a group with pictures of finished FB pizza ovens could also be a good idea?

Re: Okay, Someone has to ask...

Step 1. I joined! I really have to admit that this all makes so much sense. It feels as though I should have thought of this a long time ago.

I will take some time looking around and getting comfortable, and then I will set up a Forno Bravo group. We are always looking for now converts! :-)

I am signed in as James Bairey -- send me invites.

Thanks again guys (and girls).

James
