Am on Facebook. I think it good for the younger folks on the boards.

I've already friended you guys. In fact, I think I am one of the ones you all are following on twitter!

Well, one of the first one you followed anyway.

Sooo....how will you guys do the drawing? And what if one person wins on both twitter and FB? And how will you know? lol.

Oh, we'll know, we'll know...

*acts spooky since Halloween is coming*

Still, NO ONE's going to get a prize if we don't keep spreading the word!

As of now, 918 on Facebook, and 495 on Twitter! About 75% of the way there!

As far as how to do the drawing, it will be EXCEEDINGLY high tech. We'll generate a list of everyone and randomly pick from it.

Based on your post from 9/17, it would like the number of Twitter fans is decreasing - not a good sign if you are to reach the 2,000 mark.

I want this to work for OOTP, but heres a comment Id like to make,

I am am part of 2 other fairly active online games communities and while FB is decent in both of these, in both cases they tried Twitter and it did the exact same thing as previous post just mentioned. The number of subscribers to each group actually shrank after peaking out.

Twitter seems to be here to stay, but unless its real sports or celebrities, the majority of groups seem to be fade in, fade out...

Actually, I'd like to point out that our Twitter count has been INCREASING. I just mistakenly put the number of people we're following instead of those who are following us, when I posted on 9/17...

Yeah, as long as you guys only post the most important news about OOTP, and not much more than 1 update per day, there is no reason why your followers would quit following you.

The biggest reason I quit following most people/groups, is when they spam too damned much, and I have all of their stupid updates, and miss the ones I am truly interested in lol.

Good news, I hope this turns out well for the company. I am curious though about the "rolleyes" icon.

Weird. Exactly like the 3-second attention span of most of its users.

That and most people who tweet have a highly inflated opinion of how much anyone cares about what they are doing/thinking/feeling. Self importance is a wonderful thing.
