Why a facebook page?

I’ve just created a Facebook page to cover my digital art and photography work. I thought it might be a good idea to explain why

First of all here it is: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Original-RobArt/168860968583

Not the most romantic of URLs is it, but that’s way off topic.

Lets get back to talking about facebook. When I first logged onto facebook, I thought it interesting but of limited value. I went through the stage of considering it a tiPrintme waster full of silly applications. Over recent months facebook has been reconfiguring itself as a communication medium. This is really working for me. There is something almost intimate about keeping in touch people through direct messages and updates. So figuring that facebook was turning into a communicator I decent to test the  pages feature by adding one for SharedCreation.com. This went well and the  page has allowed for additional interaction with people that would not happen through the blogs pages and I have found this very valuable. To be honest I was surprised as to how useful the odd like or comment would be.

So I’ve turned from Facebook tolerant, to someone who see’s it as something far stronger than email, basically a place to combine communication and community and my first foray into pages brought some good things.

I suppose that with these experiences behind adding another page was an inevitable step. You see via this blog, Redbubble and Facebook I not only want to introduce people to what I do but also open a dialog.  The more I think about, the more I feel that doing anything on the web requires a conversation and openness that perhaps could not happen previously. So I have created a Facebook fan page to use the strengths of facebook – the conversation.

I hope you find the page useful.
