Hi all, I’m thinking about how we might best enable EHX on Facebook, does anybody have an opinion on whether it should be a “group” or a “page”?
February 6, 2009 at 3:11 pm #92784tubezipperModeratorThere are already two groups i think. And i’m part of one 😆
so it should be a page

I might try to consolidate all that into a single ‘official’ space, but I’m trying to figure out whether the goal should be a page or a group — or whether there’s much reason to have both (seems redundant to me).
February 6, 2009 at 3:57 pm #92791Fender&EHX4everModeratorI’m a member of the fan club, I think. I really don’t understand the difference, to be honest.
February 6, 2009 at 4:03 pm #92793electro-melxModerator‘page’ seems to make more sense, I’m not sure why……I think ‘groups’ tend to be groups of fans or whatever.
February 6, 2009 at 4:22 pm #92796julianModeratorYeah I’m in a group called Electro-Bros and I sort of consider it a local thing because it was started by the guy from Mars that I know. I’m thinking of using it to do a Western PA EHX party this spring or summer.
But you can put me down in the “page” group.
And also as I said in email, a Mike Matthews profile associated with it might be cool.

February 6, 2009 at 4:29 pm #92798julianModeratorThere isn’t a whole lot of difference, it’s just a page seems more professional and official. I think the main difference is that pages can post notes that fans see by default but can disable, and in groups- admins can send messages to all members.
February 6, 2009 at 5:08 pm #92801DiscoFreqParticipantI have a page and I can add “favorite pages” to my page, but no links to groups (I added all related pages I could find: all 9
)Btw, everyone is very welcome to become a fan here:

fwiw, I think there is no visible profile associated with a “page” — only with a “group”

I think the main difference is that pages can post notes that fans see by default but can disable, and in groups- admins can send messages to all members.My understanding is that when you send a message to the “fans” of a “page” they wind up in the “updates” tab within your inbox — whereas messages sent to “members” of “group” wind up in the regular inbox.

Yes, but I don’t like those group messages mixed with my personal messages and with the updates you can see a list of the old updates from a certain page…
