The Answerbank Facebook

[AB Editor]

Afternoon,

As you know, we have a Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/AnswerBank

I wondered if any of you who happen to "like" us could give us some feedback?

What would you like to see more of?
What would you like to see less of?

Do we post too much? Too little? Just right?

We have a way of seeing some of this stuff through Facebook, but it's good to have it direct sometimes!

Thoughts?

I think I can definitely say now that this isn't a thread for you CD.

[ChillDoubt]

Sorry if that was a bit drastic Ed!

Thanks for the info, would never have guessed it was that low!

This is a great site, it just needs the umbilical to FB to be severed.

"This is a great site, it just needs the umbilical to FB to be severed."

No it doesn't. You need to be severed from this thread.

Fight!!

There is an awful lot of overreaction going on.

:)

Anyone who actually uses FB have anything they'd like to comment on?

I use FB. I'm very selective about who I invite to join me, and whose invitations I accept - I don't want my business broadcast to the world. We all use personal experience in answering people's questions on AB. my FB friends would very likely find out stuff about me that I'm happy to reveal anonymously on AB but wouldn't want in the real world. I certainly don't want a hail of links coming into my FB page of things AB thinks I'd like..... it's bad enough when Friends circulate jokes et al. I don't go into Jokes on AB so I wouldn't want them on my FB page. Sorry.

[ummmm]

Trolls paradise.

I don't use the above site, anyone who does, what are the benefits ?

[China Doll]

I wouldn't add/like the AB facebook page because I don't want loads of links appearing all over my facebook page as has obviously happened to boxy. I do like and have recommended this site to friends/family members, but I'm massively uninterested in having a load of AB links on my FB page when if I wanted to look at them, I'd just come on AB.

[AB Editor]

What if it was, maybe, only three links a day China? I wonder if we post too much for all except the busiest FB user (i.e. FB users with tons of active friends and very busy feeds?)

We'd like to be useful to any many people as possible - we've gone down a quite "soft and cuddly" route so far with Jokes and Animal pictures. Is there anything you would like to see on FB from us?

[sandyRoe]

I hope the AB Facebook pages won't carry links to beheadings and the like.

[China Doll]

I don't really want jokes or animal pics on my FB either Ed... I mainly just have sarcastic pictures and pictures of cakes I've made... My FB page is not the most interesting it's fair to say ;o)

the AB FB site is not anonymous . It is too 'sugary kittens and jokes which does not reflect the AB site. People who frequent AB will be reticent to 'like' a page in case one of their posts gets put up on FB (however innocent the post). If you cut out the fluffy kittens (well maybe not all of them) and put up some links to more serious side of AB -Law. Jobs Education for example it may attract more people who want answers . I think you will struggle to get people who 'socialise' frequently on AB to 'like' the page as some will not want their posts on FB -its too public and even if you get your settings quite secure you are never sure who actually can see the stuff.
