Gamebuino on Facebook

Hey there,

to spread the Project to a large social community, a Facebook page would be a nice decision.

What about the Content for that FB-site?

- Posting Links to new board threads
- Show Pictutures from the Gamebuino
- Share News with the FB Community
- and more...

If you need help to manage the FB Community Site [English] I could support you.

Several people asked about a Facebook page... I'm not really fond of Facebook, but if you think it would be useful, why not. What do you guys think ? You prefer to follow a group on Facebook over a blog + email newsletter ?

Google+ :D

Maybe the best Feature of a FB page is that
people can easily share cool news about Gamebuino with their Facebook Friends.

I'm not a fan of Facebook either. I'd rather check gamebuino.com now and then for new posts. I s'pose there's no harm in having an FB page though, as long as it's not a replacement for the forum and any blog posts.

In my opinion it's just a good possibility to get (more) traffic to the Website/board.

Well more traffic can only be good :mrgreen:

I prefer the forum.

Twitter (and maybe facebook) is the key.

After the campaign there will be no way to order a Gamebuino for the time being (so building a fauxbuino is the only way to join the party).
There is no need to further advertise the system and besides that someone has to maintain all these social media accounts.

I think the facebook page would be nice for generating more traffic.

Of course it should not repleace the forum, nor the blog.

What about that Quote from rodot?

I will try to keep selling Gamebuinos after the indiegogo campaign, but I don’t know when, and you should expect a price increase, so I were you I would not wait. If you order it now, you should receive it by July.

so there is hopefully a chance to get a Gamebuino after the campaign. :D

I'm not trying to prevent you from creating a fb page. I just think it is not necessary at the moment.

if u guys want to do a fan facebook page, go right for it

+1, more work to spread news into different channels.
Got news on forum, spread the same stuff all around, deal with the responses all around, lots of work.

Agreed!

I'll make a official Gamebuino FB page once I start to sell them again, so I'm not sure it's a good a idea to create an unofficial one now.

Id' agree with this, if only to avoid confusion. I used to like Facebook. I loathe it now with a fiery passion, but it's hard to deny that many people use it to connect with other fans.

As long as it doesn't end up Occulus 2.0, I'll be content :D
