I'd need a FB lesson my friends, from whom is more expert than me...
Today I posted a message on the Europe official page.
There is this possibility, apparently, a window where "Post" is wirtten with the suggestion "write something".
My message was a real one for the band, but I also experimented the system with that one.
At the end of my message I can only "share" and not really "publish" it.
The result - I suspect - is that only my FB friends can read it.
So not exactly something that gets posted on Europe message board.
Which is anyway comprehensible to me, in fact I think they don't want anybody to spam their site, do they?
The result is: I can't see my post there if not from MY message board.
If I enter the Europe official page, I can read all the posts from Europe and those from my friends, because they say the system is set for that. For instance I get all GuesWho's posts to Europe and other friends' ones as well.
I have another FB account which is under my real name, but I don't keep it active. With that one, if I enter the Europe official FB page, then all the posts from GuessWho disappear (sorry GuessWho to bring you as my example, but this makes things clearer).
Anyway, there are a couples of posts that are kept there as public:
those from John Norum, and I can think he has special rights to enter the site as "public".
But another public post is from another FB user...not really connected with Europe I think...it's from a certain
"Juan Manuel Rodriguez Cuevas who shared an album of jmrodriguezrockphotography on 4th april near Ponteareas"
So, it seems to be possible to publish things accessible to the public over there, but HOW???
Any hint is welcome (you have to bring patience with me, I am not a FB expert)...
Anyway, just for the record of it, my post to Europe was the following:
"Hi Europe!
It’s so lovely to hear from you and I appreciate a lot that you’re glad to stay in contact with your fans.
Almost each of you has got either his own page on FB or you speak to us through this page here - even Joey did! – and only Mic is missing now?!?
I know that you will be very busy in the next days starting your festivals and preparing the field to your next worldwide tour. Anyway…in your spare time
… please consider the possibility to follow also the path of the Q&A video sessions that Ian did already some time ago. It would be a great occasion for us to send questions to you, but no need for you to interact fully on line, as this would become a mess for sure!
Just a thought...it would create a really special link to each of you. Video interviews are great – as the latest ones on BOB proved to be – so why don’t let each of us be the interviewer once in a while? Ian’s section is great!
All the best for your tour, see you out there!
