Noticing over the years that lots of friends have used the event function to promote their own, gigs, parties, book and album launches I decided to set up my first event on Facebug to announce the launch of my album.
Jokingly billed as happening everywhere and nowhere "worldwide"
( embarrassingly it seems that Jeff Beck's Hi Ho Silver Lining lyrics are only known to me )
I thought it would be straightforward as it wouldn't require anybody having to go anywhere -
just a simple little click of solidarity
and the job would be sorted.
How wrong I was.
As a thankyou for folks showing support, I have made the entire album available as a free download.
All people have to do is follow the instructions above.
I wrote an explanation as to how it wasn't necessary to go anywhere as everybody was already "there".
With FB - even if you are giving stuff away these days you've still got to pay to do it.
I decided to promote my post of the event from my personal profile and was given a report as to how effective it had been and this is where the reality of FB dawns on you.
Now we have to pay to reach the small percentage of friends we thought we had.
