WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
There is another current post here that kind of deals with this same topic. However, I'm trying to be more specific.
We have a great warm, welcoming forum here. So why do you use Facebook when doing dolly transactions, showing babies, tutorials, etc? Why do you choose to go there rather than come here on DF? I'm curious, as are other DF members, or so it seems.

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
I love DollFan, but Facebook allows for an expanded audience when buying & selling dolls. It's just my opinion, but sales on DF have been exceptional slow lately.
Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
I totally agree with Tracy. Many of the artists that used to advertise their babies here only do so on facebook now as well.

To me it is much easier to post pictures on Facebook.

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
I only use Facebook to keep up with my family and some non-dolly friends. It's too universal for me to sell or buy from there, and as far as I'm concerned, isn't very secure...You really don't know who you're dealing with there, whereas, here on DF, I feel it's a bit more secure as I know a lot of the people I deal with, are ones I've had dealings with before, and trust them.
Hugs Annette

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
Facebook allows me to reach a much larger audience. I get to meet lots of new people in the dolly world, and I can communicate with them faster.
I like DF too, though. It's been a bit slow but it's a small and tight knit group and I love it.

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
Ditto. Especially if I'm trying to post off my phone, it's a lot of hassle to upload pictures on photobucket to post them to dollfan. Might as well list on ebay if I'm going through all that.NannyKay wrote:To me it is much easier to post pictures on Facebook.

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
User friendly...when posting from phone and on the go...wider audience! And I'm not as comfortable on here...Honestly sometimes I'm afraid to post here because I'm not sure how it will be perceived...Seems as of many here already know each other so it's like being the new girl the first day of school! If that makes sense...

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
But let me add...I do seem to trust more on dollfan for the same reason many know each other and have history here and even the feedback is helpful like eBay but Facebook you really take a risk of you don't know the person...if it was easier to post Od list more here when I try to sell...

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
I go on FB to keep in touch with my family mostly... I never do any dolly deals on FB... I would not feel secure.. I also like to see what the old DF people are up too. But, this is my first home.
Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
One reason I don't like Facebook is I find it confusing to use. Also, I don't want to have any messages I may send about reborns to go to my family members, or fellow musicians. They don't give me a bad time about dolls, but I know they are not interested in them.
I still really, really wish that good ol' Steve would find another photo hosting program we could use other than the strongly disliked (by many) Photobucket. Something easier, and without all the continual "updates", ads and downtime Photobucket seems to delight in.

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
I keep up with my family who is not in town and high school friends its a great place to share pics of my grandkids and puppy with them who cannot see them in person... plus lots of doll friends who are not on DF. I have a doll page I sell and show on as well.. It works for me.. I don't get caught up in it and spend as much time on there as I do on here which is not much lately..

Re: WHY DO YOU USE FACEBOOK?
Brooke, why not try having your photos in a gallery here? Steve can set it up for you. I have always used the one on here and never have a problem with posting photos. Never goes down, or unavailable. It's worth the cost to have my photos in my own gallery, and really easy to use too.I still really, really wish that good ol' Steve would find another photo hosting program we could use other than the strongly disliked (by many) Photobucket.

I have never used Photobucket. I've always used PictureTrail.
I use Facebook to keep in touch with relatives around the country.
I also have albums on my FaceBook page of my handmade Teddy Bears, handmade pillow covers, wall-hangings, painted rocks, and jewelry I've made.
