Facebook Etiquette

    Hello all.

    Set up a Facebook profile for eSports.ie (called Esports Ie) - two reasons for that: a) not too keen on the idea of "fans" - kinda strange terminology for me b) I wasn't able to get the Twitter feed posting automatically to the test page - went to my personal account instead (any solution for that while I'm on the subject - a page would be nice too if only for the "suggest to friends" button)

    Now, I have a Twitter feed for the site and the etiquette is simple - I can follow who I want and people can follow me in return if they choose. FB is different in that regard because if I want to keep up to date with people (pro gamers for example) and what they are up to, they also have to accept me as a friend.

    So, do I add anyone involved in the eSports / gaming industry (or attempt to) or just the ones that I have had dealings with? For my personal account, I do not accept off-the-cuff friend requests but have changed that policy for the Esports Ie profile naturally :)

    Simple question but would appreciate some opinions.

    🤪

    Interesting. You point out the advantages and disadvantages of FB pages and profiles quite clearly. It seems like a compromising either way...

    I think I would have opted for a fan page, for the reasons you highlight, and then posted separately to both facebook and twitter.

    However, you make a good case. Fan pages, to me, imply people wanting to know what you are up to, whereas you suggested that you wish to know what they are up to.

    I have added off-the-cuff requests in the past. I check out the information available and pass judgement based on that :) I think if your page/profile demonstrates a level of professionalism, and seems genuine, you can approach people whom you've never had dealings with.

    If you are interested in keeping up to date with their goings on, out of genuine interest, I would tell them that. It lets them know their page/profile is doing what it should, and increases your chances of them reciprocating and getting involved in your activity.

    I think...

    :D
