Be my fan on Facebook
As I say in Sunday's column, my Facebook fan page is up to 168 fans. (What I didn't say is that it's down from its peak of 170.) Are you one of them? If so, thank you! If not, here's the link to the page. Let's try to get it back up to 170, at least. Remember, it's free.
The benefit is that you get links to each column and blog post, which show up on your FB home page for ease of clicking. That may not sound like much, and it isn't. The main benefit of declaring yourself a fan is, of course, the boost to your status among your peers by your display of good taste. You can't put a price on that.
Still, I don't blame anyone for not signing up, especially if you're not already on Facebook. I wouldn't be on there myself if I didn't think it might be a useful way to get more people reading me.
One friend who's also a fan said he's reading my columns more frequently because he doesn't have to remember to look for them on the Bulletin's website. (Incidentally, the Bulletin has a Facebook page too, with 140 fans.)
If you are an official fan, do you use the links? Is there something else you would suggest I do with the page?
