Artists Newsletter September 2007 - Facebook, Prints and More!
Welcome to the latest edition of The Artists Newsletter!This week we have included a round up of news and info on The Artists Web and beyond
Showing Your Work On Facebook
No doubt you’ve been hearing about the latest buzz on the internet www.facebook.com, so cutting out a long introduction it will suffice to say the latest buzz in social networking, facebook is receiving a massive amount of attention and new users at the moment. We’ve mentioned before about using social networks to help your work reach a wider audience (see http://www.theartistsweb.net/wiki/Social_Networking_Websites), so how can one make an impact on facebook aswell?If you’re familiar with myspace, you’ll know it’s all about “showing off your stuff”, however facebook is a little more private. Essentially you remain private from people who you aren’t already connected too - your friends, people in the same networks and groups. So how can one’s work reach a wider audience, outside one’s own network? Well realising that this was a missing feature, The Artists Web has started a new facebook application for just this purpose.The application is called photobox and can be found here: http://apps.facebook.com/fbphotobox/ The idea is simply that you can tag your facebook images and make them public so that anyone on facebook can browse throw photobox and see your work. In addition, people can make comments or even add your work as a favourite either way it helps your work reach a wider audience. You might even get selected for photo of the day!At the moment there’s several thousand photographs that have been tagged already, but it would be nice to see some artwork on there too, so please drop in and have a look: http://apps.facebook.com/fbphotobox/We’re actually considering bringing some of these features to the artists web aswell, more on that below.
New Features For The Artists Web
We’re been planning some exciting new updates for some time now, and would like to give you sneek preview of some of the ideas we are bouncing around.
