Topic: Filmwasters on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter & Jaiku

[Ed Wenn]

For those of you who inhabit the world of online social networks I've set up pages/accounts/sites etc. for Filmwasters on a variety of the best known social networking sites. The main reason for doing this is to be able to push out FW announcements (e.g. new podcast available, new collaboration, new print exchange, new guest gallery etc.) to anyone who might be interested so please add the Filmwasters presence to your friends list when you get a chance.

On Jaiku we're called filmwasters
On Twitter we're called filmwasters
On MySpace our page is filmwasters.com
On Facebook we're called filmwasters

Use the links to find us.

Of all of the above I must confess to finding Facebook a horrible car crash of a site, but it's the one that is most likely to be in use by some of the good people here. Any tips and tricks re the usage of it would be appreciated. How can something so popular be some confusing? Can we set up a Filmwasters group? Is that worth doing?

You're sort of fugly for a 28 year old female Ed.

Creating accounts on behalf of a collective allows me to be the type of person I feel like inside. On Myspace I'm a younger woman.
 

Facebook wouldn't let me put Jan 1st 2005 as my date of birth, so the "Local Business" (the category I signed up under) that is Filmwasters.com has my actual DOB.

Twitter and Jaiku don't insist on tying you down to an age or a gender. They're. like totally free-spirited, man. Unburdened.

What the?? Haha. Ah. Well, hello, friend. I had FW linked up in the Hero's section of my site. Now all I have to do is hunt down Leon. Ohhhh, Leeeeeon! I'd figured I'd put my real age to keep the creeepy critters out. Who wants a old bag like me. Hello, friend.

I'm not sure I understand Beck's post entirely, but I'll try to break it down into bite-sized portions for my delectation ....

What the?? Haha. Ah. Well, hello, friend.

 

well, Hello back atcha ...?

I had FW linked up in the Hero's section of my site.

And so you should - nothing wrong with that ... erm?

Now all I have to do is hunt down Leon. Ohhhh, Leeeeeon!

They dont call it "stalkerbook" for nothing you know.  Why do I feel ever-so slightly uncomfortable all of a sudden?

I'd figured I'd put my real age to keep the creeepy critters out. Who wants a old bag like me.

Yeah, you see, now you've lost me completely.  Is it something to do with trigonometry?

Hello, friend.

see the first bit.

I never knew so many Filmwasters had MySpace accounts...assumed everyone was more into Facebook although come to think of it that may be solely based on the fact that I over heard Ailsa saying she was a Facebooker.

[beck]

Haha. Leon. I think I slept on the wrong end of the bed last night. Sorry for the confusing words. I meant My-space of course. I just figured I'd start another place to park pictures hoping to get discovered by some mook. Not really. I didn't know you all were hovering around there. Funny how the world shakes like that. Hello, friends....

By the way...you guys and girls sound terribly sexy on that Podcast thingy. Who knew! I think you should be making house calls next time. Please don't call me...I sound horrid on the phone.

I over heard Ailsa saying she was a Facebooker.

Guilty as charged. By the way, don't get lured into a game of Scrabble on Facebook with Leon - he's a dirty cheat.

but note - when I cheat, I lose, when I dont, I win (or am winning at least).

You can play Scrabble on Facebook? 

I just may have to switch my alliances. Anyway, I'll be adding filmwasters as a myspace friend!
