The key to great photographs

I maintain a pretty active Facebook account. I have friends, family, and students (many of which are now friends) that I keep in touch with there. We share images, swap links, do a lot of photography related things, follow each others trials and tribulations. My Facebook account is a little more personal than most photographers. I still deal with the day to day there. I love the concept and idea. Every once in awhile, I get into a discussion there that really sticks with me, and this post today is about one of those. Bobby is a student at Tri, a fellow photographer, and fast becoming a friend. He put's a lot of thought into his image making, and is often looking for something deeper. It is a pleasure to see what he is doing with his photography. Here is a verbatim account of an exchange we had on Facebook, and I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. And hopefully, Bobby won't mind me posting this...

Facebook fan pages

My thought for the day, and you may be offended, but if this irritates me, it probably also irritates others. And take this post for what it is, ideas to make your business stronger.

Do you have a fan page? And what are you doing with it? And if you have one, is it because you have over 5000 friends? If that is the case, then move along, as it is the only way to reach more then 5000 people. But if you have 225 friends on your personal page, and the same 225 friends on your fan page, please keep reading.

Are you posting exclusive content to your fan page? Or are you just copying and pasting info to 2 pages so all of your friends get that info duplicated? Remember that most fan pages are run by businesses, web sites, or PR/assistants for famous people. They have relevant info, that looks professional. Info that is geared towards their target market. Not stuff like "I'm going to Subway for lunch".
