What Makes A Great Facebook Page?

Facebook pages, not the most riveting of topics but one that does need discussion on occasion, I’ve been running my page for two and a half years now so I wanted to share my thoughts on what I think makes a good page, if you run a page yourself this post may be worth a read…

Should I Have A Cosplay Page?

Recently I’ve noticed loads of new pages popping up for cosplayers, now before I go any further I can already hear you all shouting ‘Matt, you hypocrite, you have a cosplay page yourself’, yes, yes I do, but give me a moment...

Anyway cosplay pages, I have no objection, in fact if people want to have one I’d actively encourage it, however... before you run to Facebook to set up your page stop and think for a moment, why am I setting one up?

Good ol' Facebook

Reasons to have a page:

• You want to have a public profile that anyone can see – This is why I ended up with a page, I didn’t actually set my page up, it was done by my girlfriend at the time following on from an off the cuff comment of ‘I keep getting friend requests, I should have a fan page!’. Anyway, my plan way to have a profile that I could share all my Doctor Who related things on without it taking over my profile, not all my friends have the same interests as me so I’d feel bad spamming them with one topic, plus it also meant that I could keep my private profile, well, private, I’m not interested in how many friends I have on FB, I’d rather have 10 that are my best mates than have 1,000 that I don’t know because let’s face it who really wants to look at my random photo’s from years back?

You Are Compatible, You Will Be Upgraded...

Don’t panic, the Cybermen haven’t got me, I’m actually talking about the recent Facebook Timeline upgrade for pages!

Love it or hate it Facebook has changed how pages work...

Before you think ‘ oh what a boring post’ and head off to read something else, humour me and just have a look at the new things that can now be done via my Facebookpage...
