Didn't have a face book page....until now!! Cool idea.

Posted by: tj2373 May 2 2009, 07:56 AM

I'm sure TCC will surpass what few baseball card collector pages are on Facebook.

What is the difference between facebook and myspace? I'm not a user of either one.

Posted by: Jobu May 2 2009, 06:37 PM

I'm a fan too!!

Posted by: bob_TCC May 2 2009, 06:39 PM

They operate on similar concepts. In my opinion, Facebook is a more "family-friendly" social network though.

-Bob

Posted by: BaltimoreFan4Life May 2 2009, 07:36 PM

I'm a fan now....I couldn't resist!!!

Posted by: captkirk42 May 2 2009, 10:18 PM

Agree with what Bob said. Both are social networks.

Myspace originally started off to be a social networking service where musicians could interact with their fans. AS a result one of the things you can do is to have music playing on your home page, which can tend to be annoying especially if you are not expecting it. with Myspace you can customize your page where with Facebook you can not.

Facebook was started by some college guy initially just to interact within his college it soon grew to other campuses and eventually to the rest of the world in general. You can't change the look of your pages or have music playing all the time. You can find things a lot easier on Facebook than on Myspace. People also tend to be a lot nicer on Facebook.

Fan.

I'm also a member of the Trading Card Central group.

Posted by: mjda May 2 2009, 10:57 PM

Well, I signed up and am now a fan. That doesn't change the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing on that site! Haha!

Im a fan

Posted by: captkirk42 May 3 2009, 03:46 AM

Ditto. Been a member of the Group for quite a while. Which reminds me that lately I've noticed with the new Facebook changes that some of the things I was a "Fan" of when I see a friend has joined to be a fan, I see that I am no longer a fan or at least they give that "become a fan" link, which usually indicates you are not yet a fan. OH WELL that's "progress" I guess.

Posted by: crpalmi May 4 2009, 03:55 PM

Oh man you had to go there Bob?? I've been trying to resist the pull and my wife finally signed up a month ago and she's hooked. I vowed I wouldn't join but I may just have to now. Thanks for enabling the weak Bob!

Posted by: dodgerblue38501 May 4 2009, 04:50 PM

Hopefully the management staff will encourage such activity unlike the New York Mets.....

Posted by: bob_TCC May 6 2009, 10:49 PM

Who wants to be fan #37?

-Bob

Posted by: captkirk42 May 6 2009, 11:00 PM

Can I quit and then wait till we need #42?

OK maybe I can't.

Posted by: broscards May 7 2009, 08:06 PM

I hesitated momentarily and realized it may have taken a while...

Posted by: Rabs May 9 2009, 10:31 AM

Just joined! Nice to know a lot of you are on facebook plus we can now see pics of what people look like!!!

Posted by: captkirk42 May 9 2009, 04:12 PM

I thought we had a thread for people to post a picture of what they look like. I forget which board it was on. I'm trying to look for it.

Posted by: chargersfan71 May 9 2009, 06:21 PM

For those of you that are now fans, do you have any thoughts on the type of information you'd like to see provided on TCC's Facebook page?

-Bob

Posted by: sportscollectoroz May 11 2009, 01:21 PM

One thing that comes to mind: If someone sets up a TCC get-together, posting that as a Facebook event would be a plus.

Oz

Posted by: bob_TCC May 11 2009, 01:23 PM

Agreed!

-Bob

Posted by: stormfan7 May 11 2009, 01:40 PM

I know we have a ton of things dedicated on here to this stuff already...but here are a couple of ideas.


a. Create Photo albums for cards that could be considered 'pull of the month' worthy or something similar. Instead of flipping through pages, we could look through the album to see what everyone has opened.

b. Possibly create events that show when people are doing box breaks, trade nights, ustream, etc. so that everyone will have an idea of what is going on.

c. Have a couple of contests that are only on the facebook page (get more people to join the fan page and it would possibly get new members to join TCC by doing this.)

d. Post links to stories regarding the hobby industry and send updates every month or so about what is going on the facebook page and TCC.


Facebook is starting to become much more than a social network. The possibilities and ideas to come up with are endless and I think continuing to upgrade the page and doing little things to get more 'fans' will also encourage more people to sign up for TCC. There are probably thousands of people on facebook who probably collect cards and have no idea of TCC or have never heard of internet trading. How can we get them to join...

Posted by: bob_TCC May 11 2009, 01:42 PM

Thanks for the ideas, Aaron!

-Bob

Posted by: captkirk42 May 12 2009, 11:33 AM

Try to encourage people who are Fans of TCC on Facebook, but not TCC members to come over here and Join TCC. I don't know if there is anybody who fits that category but there might be.

Posted by: bushidobard May 17 2009, 09:05 AM

Finally got dragged into creating a FB page....finding TCC there almost makes it worth it!

Posted by: Gforce083 May 31 2009, 11:24 PM

perhaps TCC should have some contests via Facebook...or so kind of update from time to time about new things happening on the site.
