Awer's on Facebook

There's an Absolute Write Water Cooler group on Facebook, aspiring. It's called AW Addicts, check it out.

Oh cool, didn't know there was an AW Facebook group...off to find it

I absolutely don't want to harsh anyone's buzz, but I'm beginning to back away from FaceBook; the new privacy stuff was already wigging me out, but now, with the entire Google Buzz fiasco, I'm finding myself read the *same post* three and four times.

So I'm not on FB very often; please don't take it amiss.

Hey, I'd love to have more AWers on my Facebook friend's list.
You can look me up by name, Deanna Proach or by email, [email protected].

Amen. The whole Facebook thing is a mess. It's an interesting mess, but it seems to beg people to throw away their privacy.

that's really cool that AW have a group on Facebook

I'm not on FB very often, but I absolutely don't do that Buzz thing. I don't get it, honestly.

I also tend to friend only people I know on Facebook.

However, I have started a group to promote my novel, released as an e-book on 19 April. That's open to all, so if you want to join that you are welcome to do so!

Of course, if you promise to buy a copy of my novel, I might be persuaded to friend you...

Shara

I just created an FB page under my pen name so I wouldn't have to be as concerned about the privacy issues. I'm just getting started, but am open to all readers and writers. My email is [email protected], or the account is under Kirsten Lesko.

Just a reminder: y'all might not want to put your email addresses in your posts; who knows what crawlies will pick them up off our pages?

I spent ages belting up my facebook privacy, but I've just turned my account off for the meantime, which means I'm spending more time back here. Kind of like kicking crack to get back to the heroin, really. I mean, if heroin were good for you. Or something.

I Facebook. Some of you are probably already friended with me since most of my network consists of authors.

It's so interesting to me as well.

I don't know if people understand that they really ought to review the privacy policies on restricting what your friends can post ABOUT you.

One of my daughter's friends posted pictures of the two of them getting completely wasted over the New Year and though my daughter turns 25, imagine how she felt when I phoned her to tell her she might want to restrict that sort of thing given that it could give employers a very negative image.

I'm like Medi, I'm backing away from FB on this as well.

I'm one of those annoying people who deletes everything on her profile page at the end of each day. And now, I just have lost interest.

Oh and btw, people might want to stop and remember that through your friends, people can gain access to your pages too, so I'd really pay attention to the privacy settings.

I'm on Facebook too. You can become a fan here. I'll have to check out the AW group. I didn't know there was one on FB. That's cool

I'm Cynthia Bronco.

Just joined the AW Addicts on Facebook ) Hadn't realised until now that we had a group.

I finally found it too. AW Addicts, that is.

Joined.

OOh. I didn't know that. Awesome./

I just found the AW Addicts group! If anyone wants to add me search 'Bella Bowie' and let me know you are another AWer.

zomg, that name's familiar

I look at all the e-mail addies openly posted in this thread and I CRINGE. Yo, spambots, dinner time. Come and get it. Nothing like increasing your chance of being sent a hundred viruses a day too, in case thinking of it that way gets through the skull.

I am, BTW.

Yeah, I'm there.

Yes, I'm on facebook, as Jennifer McCall.

Y'all going to be off for the day on June 6?
