andydick Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 OK, I've been fannying around on Facebook trying to work out the best way of using it for AFC Hornchurch .. ideally we want to use in a similar way to Twitter i.e. we post news, updates etc etc and have a bit of interaction with the populace. First challenge is to understand what we should actually create as there's a few things already out there. There's an AFC Hornchurch personal account (http://www.facebook.com/AFCHornchurch). 420+ friends, few recent wall posts (Annie + others) but the account itself has not posted since the win over Lowestoft so I'm guessing it may well be owned by Ian W. Issue here is it shouldn't be a personal account (limit on number of friends, unabe to link to Twitter etc), - we should be creating it as a page which is how clubs, organisations, companies etc are meant to exist on FB. Which leads me to these .. a couple of AFC Hornchurch pages: 1 - http://www.facebook.com/pages/AFC-Hornchurch/259529159965 - 51 Likes - last posted December 2011 2 - http://www.facebook.com/pages/AFC-Hornchurch/122934476099 - 104 Likes - last posted December 2011 but couple of recent wall posts. Also quite a lot of history (match info etc) 3 - http://www.facebook.com/pages/AFC-Hornchurch/110905062271479 - 104 Likes - don't understand this .. seems just to have WIkipedia references - unless it's private in some way Plus we have Annie's Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/125054673928/ My view is we should create ourselves as a page so I'm happy to set that up (and we can agree admins etc) but I'm all for the simpe life so it would make sense for us to take ownership of either of the top 2 in the list above (preferably the second one) and we re-brand that to be the official AFC Hornchurch facebook page. Anyone know who owns / administers either of the 2 AFCH pages above? Thanks, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ive been trying to close the one i started, for a while now but cant seem to work out how to do it. The main one is the one i do post on (i put a link regarding our new signing on there) i think owned by IanW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 have closed my one. If your admin, delete all people off of it then it will allow you to delete yourself and delete the group. Feel that the main one should be renamed to AFC Hornchurch Offical, if possible and if IanW agrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel that the main one should be renamed to AFC Hornchurch Offical, if possible and if IanW agrees The one you're referring to is the personal account which we don't want to use anyway - a personal account isn't the right account for a company, club, organisation etc - we need to set it up as a page as per the couple I linked earlier. Most of the clubs have pages: West Ham's for instance: http://www.facebook.com/westhamunitedofficial Personal accounts have friends (limit is around 5000) whereas pages have likes (unlimited).

andydick Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Jordan is happy for his page (www.facebook.com/pages/AFC-Hornchurch/122934476099) to become the official one so we've changed it so we're both admins plus updated the info to reflect the page's official status. Also created a user name so rather than the link above we can simply refer to the page as: http://www.facebook.com/AFCHornchurchofficial Personally, I don't FB that much so a lot of this is new to me so whilst learning I'm sure we'll unearth new stuff as we go along. We can sync with Twitter for instance so FB updates end up on our Twitter account automatically. Not someting we'll set up just yet until we've understood more about how this stuff works - we don't want duplicate info appearing on Twitter for instance (directly added by Rob/myself then added again via FB). Meanwhile, get liking, invite your friends etc to like and see if we can get this moving. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Fair enough. Agree with what your saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondGeezer Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 You can link it the other way so that everything u put on twitter will go onto the Facebook page. If your gonna use the twitter account more might be worth doing it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your gonna use the twitter account more might be worth doing it that way Good point - something to look at. Mind you, if we did this we'd get all Rob's bizarre Twitter conversations ending up on FB .. unless there's a way of filtering out certain tweets e.g. re-tweets, replies etc Andy.

DiamondGeezer Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I think it's just what u put on the page itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydick Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 We've plateaued somewhat on the Facebook "Like" front so we'd urge those of you with FB accounts to get [more] involved whether it's by liking the account, liking the posts or generally sharing. The more people who share, the greater our reach and the more rapidly we'll grow. Rather than have the entire content driven by us we've also opened the door on the account by allowing people to post directly onto our timeline .. whether this is to ask a question or post new topics/discussions. Hopefully this will stimulate more to get involved. We'll obviously monitor this closely for anything controversial. Facebook Account: http://www.facebook.com/AFCHornchurchofficial Thanks, Andy.
