Last season was the first time the team experimented with a blog format. We brought in a lot of social media aspects such as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. We also used a Facebook group, but we found it to be a limited to how we can communicate with the team. If you’re on Facebook, you should already understand the concept of becoming a Fan of a Page. It’s like becoming a fan of a celebrity, a brand, or a special event. It’s pretty much joining a group. They are pretty similar in feature set, but what is different is that there is a Wall in which users can write on, and Page interactions are viewed in the main feed. I’m currently trying to configure Twitter to update it as well.

Hope it’s not too confusing, but if you’re already on Facebook, become a fan of the page, and you’ll see the benefits of it. You don’t have to be an actual participant of the Winter Team. You can tell your friends and family too, so they can follow our adventures.

(note: there’s a “Share” button on the bottom left column of the Page, and you can spread the word that way.)

Become a Fan!
