The Facebook Page

Michael Hyatt did a great post on Facebook Pages that got me thinking…

I have a lot of Facebook friends, and many of them aren’t so connected to my life as a church communications person… and aren’t very interested in what I have to say, professionally, but still care about me on a personal level.

Michael’s reasons for deleting his Facebook friends and building out a Page were because he wanted to have a closer knit community connected to him on Facebook. He went from a couple thousand friends to like 100. A little dramatic, maybe… but I get it.

I’m not about to delete and friends or reject any friendships… but at the same time I’ve avoided connecting my Twitter account and my blog RSS feed to my Facebook profile because I didn’t want to clog my non church communications friends with endless drivel about thinks like Snow Leopard, conferences, etc.

So, all that being said … if you want to follow the madness via Facebook, join my Facebook page. I hate the word “fan,” but I can’t help that… and while you’re at it feel free to add me as a friend, too!

Just one more way for you to stay connected…
