They didn't want to, and of course I lost them as "friends." This happened last month. Has the policy changed back since then? It seems as if some people are getting away with two and others aren't.<br /><br />What do you think of Google+? I've just joined and I'm underwhelmed. There's no place to post anything and there's lots of weirdness in trying to post a profile picture. Maybe just tech glitches they'll iron out, but it was very annoying.Anne R.

I limit what I post somewhat as my profile page is for clients, professional colleagues, and well, fans who want to interact with me...and that's the key for me. <br /><br />I love the interaction and feel it helps with all the aforementioned people to relate to me; also, I really despise the thought of asking people to be a "fan" or "like" me on facebook when they already interact with me on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131692240864856448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-84371406618999625472011-07-13T15:56:47.533-04:002011-07-13T15:56:47.533-04:00Heidi,

There's no reason to put up a page until you have an audience to build--meaning you have to have a product tailored to that audience to promote.Meredith Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718251724577409962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-18665003110351124232011-07-13T07:37:38.275-04:002011-07-13T07:37:38.275-04:00I don't have a fan page, but I've liked a ...I don't have a fan page, but I've liked a few to support other writers and people I've met online. Other than the first 'like' I've never visited a fan page. I wonder if this is the case with most 'likes'. I will get a fan page once I have a publisher and the title finalised. I was thinking I should perhaps one for my work, but then I'd have another one for the book. Seems like a lot of work. I guess I could use an app to update all my social media sites at once, but that seems a little impersonal. Twitter, FB and google +. It's going to get busy.Simon Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384384882217609761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-28882350758951368932011-07-12T10:20:22.992-04:002011-07-12T10:20:22.992-04:00Right now, I have fan page (http://www.facebook.co...Right now, I have fan page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heidi-Hormel-Author/115921748474619) that serves as my author page. I also have a "private" personal profile. I'm struggling (as I know many others are) on what to do with two pages. Do they get merged? Do I keep both running and try to more everyone but family to the fan page? I haven't come up with a good solution.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413692728205755414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-57782748064328028522011-07-11T23:13:42.017-04:002011-07-11T23:13:42.017-04:00Woot for social media blog posts like this one.
