Sweet!

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

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

11 fans and growing!

I seem to be gaining friends out of this as well.

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

I'm a fan too!!

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

-Bob

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

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.

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 in

27 fans and growing!

-Bob

Im a fan

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.

Just became a fan we do have an official TCC Facebook group as well

29 fans and growing!

An added reason and extra motivation to stop being lazy and make a facebook account. Im sure Im not the only one who keeps putting this off.

32 fans and growing!

-Bob

34 fans and growing! However, I'm not sure that it's a good thing that so many of you like to write on walls.

-Bob

#36

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!

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

Who wants to be fan #37?

-Bob

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

OK maybe I can't.

Im suprised Road Runner didnt hold out till we had around 263 fans or so

38 fans and growing! Who's next?

-Bob

41 fans and growing! I'm guessing there's more of you on Facebook, so don't be shy!

-Bob

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

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

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.

nice!

i joined now my friends will know what I do instead of going to the bars

Maybe...maybe not.

45 fans and growing! Who's next?

-Bob

I joined.

Oz

47 fans and growing?

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

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

Agreed!

-Bob

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...

Thanks for the ideas, Aaron!
