Linking Cafe Saxophone with facebook account

[Pete Thomas]

You can now link your cafesaxophone account with your facebook account.

Don't ask me how or why, I haven't figured it out yet and I rarely use Facebook, but there is a Facebook login link at the top of the page.

A prize to the first person to find out how this works and write a short set of instructions.

Maybe this explains everything:

Ok I've linked mine, fairly easy process. I'm not exactly sure what benefits there are to it yet but time will tell I guess!

The only things I have noticed that have changed is that some profile information has been populated from my FB account and you can use your FB avatar (which I did but want to change it back!).

EDIT: Just noticed that clicking Like at the top adds it to my FB wall, which I guess eventually will bring a little more traffic to this site.

EDIT2: Also noticed than when replying you can tick a box to say whether to post your reply to FB or not.

This could be very useful, though we've had the "like buttons" for a while.

I would encourage everyone to click on these.

Yes I've used the Like button before but it didn't really do much until now.

Ah, that's good to know, maybe it didn't work before this new update.

Sorry Pete, this facebook thing passes me by. I've found other ways of exposing my personal data to anyone who designs an app or who just asks for info.

I use facebook quite allot, and prefer to keep Cafe Sax away from facebook, whick is more generic and not sax related(for me) at all.

Also someone who is posting allot on facebook can dominate my facebook and change the flavour of it, so at the moment I don't see any advantage in linking facebook to Cafe Sax.

I've linked mine too, although I cant see what benefit it is yet.

 

[RedBottom]

Ey-oop! I've just found this. I'm the only fan there at the moment and feeling a little lonely. Please come along and say hello.

 

[Pete Thomas]

Looks like there are 4 of you now!

As I mention on there, please don't be offended if I don't use the Facebook much, I have not enough time.

I spoke to a popular kids' author a while ago who has a presence on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, Wordpress and a dozen other networking sites and updates them regularly. I can't help thinking that if he didn't then he'd probably produce twice the books he currently does and would become a very rich man indeed!

Cafe Saxophone Just to let you all know, please don't be offended if I don't make you a "friend", I am now only making Facebook friends with people I actually see and know in real life.

Did you mean to put this statement on your personal FB account instead of the Cafesaxophone account/page? As you don't get an option to add this page as a friend anyway, you can only like it.

I don't know, as I really don't understand Facebook at all. I didn't even expect the cafesaxophone account to be an account, they call it an Application and it seems to have a lot of complicated things involved that just make me want to cry. Half the time on there I really don't know if I'm Pete Thomas or Cafesaxophone.

 

[JasonC]

Haha Ok. I'm ok with Facebook but Twitter is another story!

 

[Rogerb]

I don't understand how FB works, either, Pete, and am not especially motivated to find out!

I'm not on Facebook, Twitter or anything else like that. I don't think I ever will. Life's too short.

Is a Facebook or Twitter account anything like a William Hill account?

If so, do NOT link it.
