roddy Posted April 16, 2009 at 09:40 AM Report Posted April 16, 2009 at 09:40 AM In a rare fit of Web 2.0ness, I spent the afternoon mucking around with Facebook and Twitter, just in case anyone is interested. Facebook Fan Page. Very basic, I've tried to keep it as simple as possible. It should have updates on new forums topics, but I'm not sure it's working 100% yet. Twitter - a new tweet for every new topic, or at least there should be. Add / follow us and show your love for the forums. G'on, y'know you want to. Quote
Shadowdh Posted April 16, 2009 at 10:36 AM Report Posted April 16, 2009 at 10:36 AM Cool, now I am a fan and following. Quote
roddy Posted April 16, 2009 at 03:10 PM Author Report Posted April 16, 2009 at 03:10 PM Five Facebook fans and two twitter followers already! Keep 'em coming, and if you want post in here to announce your arrival. Quote
student Posted April 16, 2009 at 05:33 PM Report Posted April 16, 2009 at 05:33 PM I'm onboard, too! Quote
roddy Posted April 17, 2009 at 02:58 AM Author Report Posted April 17, 2009 at 02:58 AM Excellent, a massive nine fans already. The application on there which is meant to be updating our 'wall' with the latest new topics seems to be pretty slow / no good. Unfortunately it also seems to be the best one. However I think if you click the 'subscribe' link in the RSS-connect box on the left side you might be able to get that on your own pages. Or something. Quote
Prodigal Son Posted April 21, 2009 at 05:51 AM Report Posted April 21, 2009 at 05:51 AM became a fan of the facebook page. you should try to do something more structured with the twitter account like new vocabulary every day or something. Quote
roddy Posted April 22, 2009 at 02:11 PM Author Report Posted April 22, 2009 at 02:11 PM No plans for anything like that. RandomChineseSMS.com is on Twitter though. 17 Facebook fans! I am a very light user of Facebook - if there's anything easy I should be doing with that fan page let me know. Quote
adrianlondon Posted April 22, 2009 at 02:17 PM Report Posted April 22, 2009 at 02:17 PM I'm also a very light user of Facebook. I've joined the fan page, but ... now what? Am I meant to do something? Quote
roddy Posted April 22, 2009 at 02:19 PM Author Report Posted April 22, 2009 at 02:19 PM Damned if I know. You might be able to get notifications of new topics appearing on your page or something. I guess your contacts can see that you're a fan. Any Facebook experts out there? Quote
Lu Posted April 22, 2009 at 03:01 PM Report Posted April 22, 2009 at 03:01 PM I am a very light user of Facebook - if there's anything easy I should be doing with that fan page let me know.Put a picture on it, where it has a question mark now. Makes it look better.Adrianlondon: for what I know, it's mostly so that people you know can see you're a fan of it. From what I can tell, those fan pages are more to show on your own profile (I'm a fan of A, B and C and therefore I am an X kind of person) than that you actually do something on the fan page. Quote

Agreed. You can set up a discussion board, but I feel that it would be duplication considering that the Chinese-Forums FB page should act as a way to display your interests, as well as advertise Chinese-Forums to a wider audience to bring potential members here. Cheers! Quote
roddy Posted May 3, 2009 at 03:51 PM Author Report Posted May 3, 2009 at 03:51 PM Up to 30 fans on Facebook now, not bad at all. 16 followers on Twitter, although a few of those are spam and their accounts have already been killed. Never mind . . . No plans to have discussion on the Facebook page - more than enough fun keeping track of this one, thanks. Twitter users can also follow Random Chinese SMS if they want to make me slightly happier. Quote
Shadowdh Posted May 3, 2009 at 03:53 PM Report Posted May 3, 2009 at 03:53 PM So you also do the Random Chinese SMS...?? cool, been following that for a while now... Quote
roddy Posted May 3, 2009 at 04:16 PM Author Report Posted May 3, 2009 at 04:16 PM Yep, that's also mine. Quote
chenpv Posted May 14, 2009 at 06:33 AM Report Posted May 14, 2009 at 06:33 AM Were you also celebrating Charles Darwin's 200th birthday by putting a monkey in that picture on facebook fanpage? It was however a surprise not to see a guy in blue zhongshanzhuang standing there. :-) Quote
murrayjames Posted June 24, 2009 at 09:59 PM Report Posted June 24, 2009 at 09:59 PM Don't know if you're still counting, roddy, but you now have 55 mighty Facebook fans. I just joined myself. Quote
roddy Posted June 24, 2009 at 10:30 PM Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 at 10:30 PM Not a huge number - must remember to add some links to the header or footer, and perhaps outgoing emails - but I'm not that worried about promoting it. Hope it's useful anyway. Quote
