So I was randomly thinking--- [scary i know]--- and of course besides the main website, twitter, forum and of course word of mouth. How else does Fanime Con 'officially' advertise itself?

I tried to look up to see if Fanime Con had a Facebook page. and too bad there isnt one. [Except for a few fan made pages]

ironically other random companies, TV shows, forums, pop culture, and etc- have their own facebook page as a semi form of advertising / fan page to generate hype- have updates and stuff like that.

I'm sure there are hundreds if not thousands of fans out there since we've always been about " By Fans for Fans mentality " --- is there a fine line between needing to or not needing to advertise because the internet? or just us talking about Fanime to friends or friends of friends enough to keep things growing? unless explosive growth is a bad thing? [hence the AX going down the hopper thread]

Just a random thought I wanted to throw out. since most of us use facebook.... So in short-

"official" Fanime Con Facebook Page?   Good or bad idea?

so lets see what Tony's Twitter says:

Follow " TonyChair " on twitter---
" Rain leaked into my office at work, making it smell like mildew.
I left the windows open to air things out and now it smells of bacon! Mmmm~ "

What I've learned from this post:
Mildew = smells bad.
Bacon = smells good!


Bacon does make everything better.  :D
Does that mean Fanime will come with a side of Bacon?

I've been discovered!

If you look back, you'll see I tweeted about Specialty's cookies. There was something about me meeting Facebook people and learning about leveraging the platform, connecting with visitors, blah blah blah - anyway the point was that there were Specialty's cookies.

Well yeah there are some fan made ones.

By Fans for Fans, amirite? :P

So the fan made Fanime pages on facebook are following the spirit of the con, right?

But yeah, I'd support an 'official' con page.  Especially if it was tied to the twitter and other stuff.
Then people can follow the news in multiple methods, especially the announcements and stuff for hotel and reg, and even the twitter stuff they started doing in con last year.
