			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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</p>
<p>First of all here it is: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Original-RobArt/168860968583">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Original-RobArt/168860968583</a></p>
<p>Not the most romantic of URLs is it, but that’s way off topic.</p>
<p>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 ti<a href="http://www.findingviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/OriginalRobart.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Print" border="0" alt="Print" align="right" src="http://www.findingviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/OriginalRobart_thumb.jpg" width="244" height="83" /></a>me 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&#160; pages feature by adding one for <a title="Link to Shared Creation" href="http://www.sharedcreation.com/" target="_blank">SharedCreation.com</a>. This went well and the&#160; 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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.&#160; 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.</p>
<p>I hope you find the page useful.</p>
