The Twitter – Facebook Challenge
Or should that be “I am Facebook Clallenged”?
I’ve finally decided that I need to give these social networking groups a go, so I have joined Facebook and Twitter. I guess it would be showing my age and number of years online if I said that I really prefer the old discussion forums (which of course still exist, but there seems that there has been a mass exodus away from the ‘old fashioned’ discussion boards and now everyone spends more time Fan and Tweeting). And I will grudgingly admit that it looks like a better way to actually get to know the people you are talking to online, so I guess it can’t be all that bad! I don’t need any other distractions though, so I am not going to be dragged into any food fights or barn yard antics;)
I’m actually thinking that it might be a good way of instantly notifying friends and in particular clients when photos from events are uploaded to the proof gallery…at least in theory, and this is where the challenge comes in…I’m not quite sure that I am using Facebook properly, well no, thats not what I mean, I have figured out (mostly) how to use it, but everything new that I want to add to my busines page seems to be adding to my personal page instead.
For example, my photo albums…I wouldn’t have thought that I needed to add them to both, but maybe I do. And I can’t figure out how to favourite pages from my business page. LOL I am sure a few more hours playing with Facebook should improve my skills;)
In the mean time, this is the Facebook Page that I have started for South West Photography andyou can find me at SouthWest Photo on Twitter
And this is a little logo that I made up this morning.

I completely agree with you about the confusion around how to properly leverage Facebook. I too struggle with wanting to post more stuff to my personal profile than my fan page, so if you figure out how to strike a good balance I’d love to hear your ideas. For now, my fan page is relatively static, and features pretty much the same content as my website. I’d like that to change, though, so I’m searching for ways to make it a livelier place that’s more interactive.
