I did not realize they were separate entities, mostly do to a long diatribe I sat through about how they work, which was apparently very, very flawed.<br /><br />But I would like the code for the "like" button. I don't know that it would make any difference, but it'd be a nice thing to try out. Part of me says people would have clicked "like" on the links I put on Facebook just as easily, but the other part of me says -- expose yourself!<br /><br />Er, not in that way. But yeah, if you'd send me the code, I'd appreciate it.Randall Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252840359471581378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582438931556658200.post-53297954744518824682010-05-19T09:55:09.540-04:002010-05-19T09:55:09.540-04:00I think you've taken a good stance on the Face...I think you've taken a good stance on the Facebook privacy thing, as you might remember I've always been on the lax side of this issue. Mainly for the reason you point out; I think it's funny to give FB all your information just to block it all. Someone who really wants to use that info to do damage will look at those "security measures" and laugh. I have a close acquaintance (who will remain anonymous here) that can use any computer to find anyone's Social Security number and credit card numbers in about two minutes; I've seen him do it with my own eyes. If somebody wants to single you out and wreak havoc with your personal info, they can do it no matter how many little boxes you've checked on Facebook. It's for that reason I've never even looked at the privacy page on Facebook; for me it just doesn't matter. Now granted I haven't put up my home address or phone number so the not-so-computer-savvy can't just bug me when they want, but that seems like common sense to me. And if somebody wants to see that Hellboy is my favorite comic and touch themselves at night, more power to 'em.<br /><br /><br />As far as the fanpage and stuff I've done recently, first I should point out that the fanpage and the "like" button for each post on my site are separate entities. I tried to get them to communicate with each other, but Facebook has some more work to do in that area. Basically the "like" button on each post is for more exposure, and the fanpage is so I don't have to add as friends the people who only want to keep track of me for my art. I tend to only add people on FB that I actually know so that my news feed isn't cluttered. I mean I love it that people want to check out my work, but I think adding them as a FB friend isn't the solution to that. In that regard it has been a huge success, because only about 100 of my FB friends have joined my fanpage, and it has over 230 fans. So that's well over 100 people that can easily follow and offer feedback on what I'm doing with my professional life without me having to see all their status updates and think "wait...who is that again?"<br /><br />If you want the code for the individual like buttons let me know!Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545428553534762577noreply@blogger.com
