I've started a Facebook page for TASVideos. It's not like that unofficial Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/TASVideos Thanks to dlvr.it and to our RSS feeds, as long as there's a new entry in the News, there's a new submission and there's a new publication, it will be posted automatically on that Facebook page. Of course, you have the right to think it's useless (it won't stop me), but if you are against this enough so you want me to remove that page, tell me, and I'll remove it. My goal is only to make some kind of promotion for our community. On the opposite side, if you wish to become an admin of this page, add me on Facebook by telling me you want to be an admin, and I'll throw you in the admin bin. But before you do such a thing, make sure you're a staff member (judge/publisher and up). But if you just want to add me, go ahead, I've got no problem with that. By the way, I've already managed a Facebook page, so I know how it works.

Very nice, we should advertise this on the site and automatically post site updates there too.

This is a good idea. Back when Youtube was still limited I was about to suggest to upload TASes on Facebook Video, but in the end I thought many people wouldn't be happy to share their real names there. Now that a page is in place, uploading videos on there can be an additional option. There is a 20 minutes limit though if I remember correctly, but the video quality is surprisingly decent. I would add myself as a fan of that page, but I haven't been using Facebook in months by now, because my parents are paranoid about me being on the internet (to the point that I have to use a proxy whenever I visit any website) |

I think that just leaving our RSS feed and dlvr.it to post automatically the latest publications is enough.

The "about" text is cut off by just a few words (ends with "are..."). Maybe you should make it just slightly shorter like this: "Official TASVideos Facebook page. When human skills are just not enough."

Yeah, I am TOTALLY sure that is the reason.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

It might be interesting to allow the posting of images/videos by fans. For stuff like this, which doesn't get made very often but when it does it's awesome and worth saving. And possibly things like WIPs or screenshots of stuff that happened.

You've got the right ideas. But if someone abuses photo/video uploading by posting crap, then I'll remove this feature.

Yeah, I hope it doesn't get abused. Knowing people it probably will at some point. :)
