Just curious, what is it about Facebook that allows certain members to post on there - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 11-28-2010, 01:03 PM

more than Sitcomsonline?

I have a sports buddy who used to post on the sports board all the time but now he only posts about sports on facebook and no longer comes to the sports board. Me on the otherhand I do both-lol Just wondering what makes people post on FB more.

Quite simply, Facebook just has a more broad appeal than Sitcoms Online. And by nature as a social network, it should.

I post on Facebook WAY more than I post on Sitcoms Online. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 98%/2% ratio.

Same for me, I'm addicted to FB

I like SO because this is the place for people who like TV as much as I do

I checked out the TVLand boards and they seem to be dead

Give me 3 appealing things about Facebook?

Cactus Jack · 11-29-2010, 01:59 PM

Facebook has much broader appeal as Brad correctly pointed out. I'm Facebook friends with all my great SO friends like Mattie, Billie, Jude, Kristen, Cathy among others, so I just find myself posting less here because my involvment with SO had a great deal to do with those people. I'm also FB friends people who I went to school with or worked with, who would have no idea what Sitcoms Online is. Also, you can be Facebook friends with authors and other public figures.

I love posting here but you'll never catch me on Facebook. My brothers are always after to me start an account there but I have no desire to. I also want no contact with anyone I went to school with which is the primary reason I refuse to join.

I see your point. I felt that same way. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to join Facebook.

However, you'll find that many of the people that you went to high school with have matured.

I used to feel the exact same way. But I eventually gave in and checked Facebook out. The great thing about Facebook is that you can choose who to be friends with and who not to friends with. You don't have to have contact with anyone you don't want to. You have the choice to ignore anyone you don't want to be in contact with. That being said Facebook will never ever replace S.O. They are two different websites and fulfill different purposes (although there is some overlap) which is why I regularly visit both places.
