Thanks for the feedback and link Welly.

It seems that going the way of a page versus a group is the route I want to take, for maximum control on both customization and the reputation of the site.

Getting the venue on Twitter is also on my to do list. I haven't used Twitter, so can't grasp how much use it might be other than putting out a Tweet that says "this week appearing ..." or "tonight is ..." Which perhaps might prove to be its forté.

Your tweet will get lost in the millions unless you have followers. Create your Twitter account for the venue, find Twitter users in your area, and start following them. And start tweeting! You have to build relationships on Twitter if you want it to be an effective tool for you.

From Feb 12 Vancouver Sun:

SAN FRANCISCO - Compete.com has crowned Facebook the most popular social networking website, saying it racked-up nearly 1.2 billion visits in January.The Internet-tracking firm released social-networking website rankings that show MySpace slipped to second place during the course of the past year while micro-blogging service Twitter catapulted to third place from 22nd. News Corp-owned MySpace saw approximately 810 million visits in January, while Twitter was visited 54.2 million times, according to Compete.

The number of visitors to social-networking websites and the amount of time they dwell there are considered key indicators of how well Internet services are doing.Facebook and Twitter have registered increases in both categories while visits and time spent at MySpace have stagnated or slid during the course of the past year, according to Compete.

"MySpace is still the clear number two player in the big categories, but its trends in some key areas aren't quite so dominating," Andy Kazeniac of Compete wrote in an online posting discussing the rankings. "At least in those areas, they could be looking up at more than Facebook soon."

Flixster, Linkedin, and Tagged were ranked fourth through sixth places respectively, each gaining in popularity from January of 2008.

Hey ...

I'm busy researching Facebook's various capabilities for a music performance venue as I prepare to rebuild their Facebook page. Does anyone have any comments or experiences you would like to share regarding your experiences with being a fan or member of a group or organization? Any good ideas for pushing the news & info out to FBers - or what not to do or avoid?

Eventually, I'll also be creating a MySpace page for them too - so any MySpace experiences good or bad, on getting your org on MySpace, or being a friend of such an org, would also be appreciated.

Essentially, I'm asking what do you like to see / what don't you like to see. Or what you may have learned during the exercise of putting your own organization on either of these services. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Here's a recent article on FB with further food for thought: CNN Money: How Facebook is taking over our lives

BTW - is anyone here using Windows Live for social networking? Any thoughts on it?

I recently planned a successful outing to a local biker bar that was greatly facilitated by the fact that the venue had both a website and a myspace page. I liked the fact that their "friend space" had links to the various bands appearing, which took you to the performer's myspace page where you could sample video or audio clips if you were unfamiliar with that band. Also for people unfamiliar with the venue and type of crowd it attracts, photos ("view my pics") can give a pretty good sense of the character of a place. Other than that, providing basic info for the venue on facebook or myspace (who, what, where, when, etc.) seems like a straightforward thing; the more specifics you can offer folks the better.

I'm fairly new to facebook so I haven't had much experience with being a "fan of" various orgs or musical performers, etc. so I don't have much to suggest or relate in that regard.

IMHO - the biggest mistake newbie FB groups make is to send out too many messages to members or, conversely, never update their pages nor have any new info on them. Balance is critical. Also - it's a really good idea to post the type of innovative/fun/cool content that people will want to "share" with friends via a posting on their profile page etc, and make it easy for them to do so. It's all viral, baby!
