Well, a few weeks ago I was mucking around on Facebook trying out the Groups / Page features etc.
I was checkin it out for my wife, as she wanted to get something going for all of her Pommy relatives and friends to use for pics etc etc.
In doing so, I created an EBMM Group as a trial (first thing that came to mind).
One thing lead to another, and it got pretty detailed. Even made up a logo to match the forum !
(EDIT : argh - the forum has changed !
)
EB only had an Ernie Ball Strings Page on Facebook at that point, with no representation of the Instruments (apart from a few unofficial groups), so I thought it may have been of some use to EBMM.
For consistency I converted the GROUP into a PAGE, which is more business related.
The Page uses a lot of EBMM's pics & details.
I checked with the big guy whether this was all OK, and have since been given the all clear by EBMM to publish it.
Kevin & BP are also admins, with Kevin as the main man for their web stuff.
I was happy to remain anonymous, but Kevin's flat-out on other things, so has left it up to me to set it up and spread the news.
It's been set up with pics to provide direct links to all of the instruments on www.music-man.com, and has the ability to provide product updates and links to all "Fans" who join, which is a great way to keep low-level net users in-the-EBMM-loop without having to directly find and look at the forum and websites.
Fans can also add vids and pics.
With only limited features & formatting available, it's only a tiny speck in terms of exposure - but with the popularity of Facebook, hopefully it helps spread the word !
So, a quick muck-around ended up a whole lot more involved !
Check it out if you're interested, become a page "fan".
Since publishing, it seems plenty of people are finding it on their own, but spread the word and get as many new "Fans" on board as you can
