Fundamental Elements

facebook for bands

I had an funny conversation today with a friend of mine who works with teens who said that he’s noticed that it takes them several days to respond to an email, but only a few hours to respond to a facebook message. Needless to say, he’s planning to make facebook his new communication tool of choice.

Yesterday I set up a facebook page for the band (check it out here and become a “fan” if you would like). I thought it would be an easy way to let people connect to our music. What I’m learning is that there are some cool side benefits.

Once such benefit is that facebook shows me some cool demographic stats about the people who call themselves “fans” of the band.

I guess it’s nice to know that our appeal to 13 year old girls is almost balanced out by the 40 year old men who are browsing facebook. This should be a fun graph to watch.
