Facebook Hellllllllll

I consider myself a pretty avid social networker. Not only can I navigate some of the unknown inner workings of certain sites but people call me when they need help setting up their own FB or other various social pages. I'm also quite competitive (in all senses of the word). In this case, when I can't figure something out I will keep going with it until I do. Which might explain why I want to pull my hair out today (I've got plenty don't worry).

Yesterday my boss gave me some new responsibilities including managing our company's social networking initiatives (i.e. set up a Facebook & Twitter page). Twitter - piece of cake. Facebook - the souffle that implodes on you (I saw Julie & Julia last night and i'm still preoccupied with food references. Loved the movie by the way!). You know how they have Fan Pages on Facebook. I thought I could set one of those up without having to set up an actual page. I was doing great until I couldn't figure out how to get into network groups or find friends. Then I clicked some link and it created a new FB page with all of my personal info. I activated and deactivated accounts and went back and forth a zillion times trying to delete one without deleting the other. Apparently you can't have a fan page without having a regular FB page. So now i'm navigating 3 sites (my personal, my business, and my business fan page). The business page and the business fan page look exactly alike and I don't quite understand why I have to have both. My head is spinning. I know some people don't understand the need for both Facebook and Twitter and while they both serve different purposes of the same thing (and I do cherish them both) i'm quite thankful for the simplicity of Twitter at the moment and worship the ground it's built on. Follow me on Twitter @nhayes then follow my company @theconnorsgroup

"Julie & Julia" was fantastic - go see it!!! I'll be updating my other blog with the actual review later so stay tuned for the edit and link.

I'm taking the day off tomorrow and going down to Long Beach Island with one of my loves Mrs. Chrissy Romine (hollah!). I've been promising her aunt a visit for almost a decade so we're finally going tomorrow. And of course... beach day = rain. That's the story of my life.

Right now i'm going to jet out real quick and get coffee and then chow down on some Godiva truffles I purchased yesterday. I'm in need of some serious caffeine to get through the rest of this work day which includes a double-header International Soccer game tonight. Rock on...
