Do you have a Facebook account? Promote yourself here if you'd like.

<p>Howdy,</p>

<p>Dual purpose thread here. I wanted to make sure that everyone with a Facebook account knew that Photo.net has a page you can follow:</p>

<p>http://www.facebook.com/photo.net</p>

<p>Also, there is a Photo.net Facebook application that you can use so that your Photo.net uploads appear on your Facebook wall automatically:</p>

<p>Instructions here - http://www.photo.net/help/community/facebook/facebook-app<br>

Application here - http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=161219964308</p>

<p>Also, if you are already using the application, could I ask you to give it a review? We've just got one review right now and it was from a guy who apparently didn't read any of the instructions and wouldn't reply to my email offering help.</p>

<p>Secondly, I figured that I'd break from typical PN rules and give everyone a place to post up their facebook pages if they have one for their photography (or other I suppose) businesses. Post a link to your page and perhaps PN members can connect and follow each other a bit more.</p>

[leicaglow]

<p>Good idea Josh. How about adding a field on our profile pages that we could add a link to befriend someone?</p>

[pbalko]

<p>Thanks for the reminder Josh. If you had a 'like' button here, I'd click it.</p>

<p>Thanks for this thread Josh. I'm already a Pnet fan on FB, but haven't used the app yet.</p>

<p>Here's my FB photo page:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/nathangardnerphotography">http://www.facebook.com/nathangardnerphotography</a></p>

<p>I would love to see others' FB pages.</p>

[lornesunley]

<p>That's kinda cool. I set it up.</p>

[pjmeade]

<p>I've set that up.<br>

I tweet some of my images from Flickr, will you be looking at that for PN?</p>

[2dhouse]

<p>Great Idea, I'll have a look at it!<br>

And here's my page, may as well, right :P?<br>

Thanks Josh!<br>

A reminder: The purpose of this thread is to give photo.net users a place to link to their Facebook profiles if they choose to do so. It's not intended as a place for people to complain about Facebook.

[lornesunley]

<p>OK<br>

I set it up, following the instructions and it works just as advertised. Very nice. Thanks for writing it.<br>

Of course what would really like is a way to make a photo album on face book that points to my portfolios on photo.net. Is there anything that does that?</p>

[tracie_howe]

<p>Cool! Thanks for this. I just Liked the links that I found here so far.<br>

Here is my own:<br>

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tracie-Howe-Photography/179744273518<br>

And since we're sharing FB page links, does anyone know if the URL has to contain those numbers? I tried without and it doesn't work, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to change this somehow.<br>

Thanks!</p>

<p>Here's a thread on how to use Facebook as a link to your personal sites.</p>

<p>http://www.photo.net/business-photography-forum/00XLLN</p>

<p>Thomas: your facebook url did not work for me.</p>

[nathangardner]

<p>Tracie,<br>

Go to your FB home page and click on the Ads and Pages button.  This will bring up the list of your pages.  From there click on the help tab on the top of the page.  Then click Usernames>Facebook Pages>How Can I Secure Usernames for my Pages? (2nd one down), then click on the link.</p>

[j_sevigny]

<p>Here's my own. Will try out the app. Thanks.<br>

<p>From what I understand getting a Facebook account isn't a problem, but getting out of the arrangement can be.</p>

[tracie_howe]

<p>Great Nathan! Thanks for letting me know how to change the URL! I appreciate it! :)</p>

[fuccisphotos]

<p>So I have a question for those posting to this. How do you use your facebook page? </p>

<p>Do you have one as an individual or a business page? <br>

I have a business page and an individual one and a personal one I've had since college when Facebook began, it gets really confusing. <br>

For the business I have trouble deciding whether I should choose to post photos to the business one or the individual one. I often post the photos for the clients rather than having them try to do it on their own, so we get the proper credit and they are uploaded at a good resolution.</p>

<p>This is our business page, that people can "like":<br>

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boston-MA/Fuccis-Photos-LLC-Wedding-and-Special-Occasion-Photography/272638294367?ref=mf<br>

This is my "individual" page that clients can "friend" me with. <br>

http://www.facebook.com/fuccis.photos<br>

Any suggested means of usage are much appreciated!</p>

<p>Maybe I'm missing something here but I'm not seeing Ads and Pages Button. Did you mean you click on home first? or are you talking about profile, and do you have the new profile or the old one?</p>

 

[Jeff Lear]

<p>Wow! This totally died. Gonna download the app but for now...</p>

<p>Here's my facebook photo page: http://www.facebook.com/jslearphotography</p>

<p>Vail, if you're still trying, just go to Account > Help Center > and then follow Nathan's directions by entering "How Can I Secure Usernames for my Pages?" I think you have to have at least 25 "fans" before facebook will let you simplify your username.</p>
