I just wanted to take a quick minute and let you know about the Blogging Diabetes Fan site on Facebook. You may have noticed the Facebook fan box in the right sidebar, which can also be seen in the screenshot below.
Below is a screenshot from the fan site. One of the reasons I created this site was to bridge the gap between twitter and this blog. By that I mean the following. Twitter only allows 140 characters, making any kind of meaningful interaction limited. On the other end, this blog has much lengthier posts. By now having a Facebook fan page, this will allow another medium to exchange ideas that can be short and quick.
In the screen shot below, you can see the tabs across the top of the fan page that contain a News tab and Twitter tab. The News tab streams this blog’s RSS feed to Facebook while the Twitter feed goes to the Twitter tab. Now all of the information is streamed to one source that many people are already using.
On the Fan page I will be sharing ideas, tips and insights that I may not post here on the blog. Please take a minute to check out the Fan page and become a fan!
That’s neat. I guess I don’t get that pretty page at start up bc I’m already a fan? Very slick!
