TTAC's New Facebook Digs: We Can Be Social Too

TTAC’s mission is to call it like we see it, pulling no punches. Even on Facebook, because we somehow wound up there. No really, who knows why or how we got there, it just kinda happened. While other autoblogospheric Facebook forays occasionally leave something to be desired, that doesn’t explain why we’re taking Social Media seriously. At least now.

So let’s talk upgrades. For all those slackers who should be prepping for midterms or doing their NSFW-ing jobs at work, we’re transitioning our Facebook “group” page into an official “fan page”. If that makes sense to you, you’ll find the new page by the time this sentence ends… now. If that sounds like gibberish, just know that TTAC is giving their fans the same social media goodies that the big boy manufacturers have.

We’re talking about a places to discuss topics, upload “truthy” photos or videos, letting people on Facebook speak their mind in true TTAC style. And with that, a question: what else do our Facebook users want on the fan page? More to the point, what makes a Facebook user excited enough about TTAC to click back to our website?

Not that I know what I’m doing, but I do care enough to listen. So here’s the link to our page: http://www.facebook.com/TheTruthAboutCars

Oh, we’re on Twitter too, but we’ll talk about that later.

    What is Facebook for? :)

      Facebook is kind of useful for staying in touch with friends. It's also a convenient way to get an informal group of friends together for happy hour drinks at the same bar. However I very strongly resist any effort to conflate friendship and marketing. It's as annoying as having a friend who tries to sell Amway.

    Do we need to start 'The Truth About FB'? Really? Anyone foolish enough to sign up to a site that requires way more info than one would give to a really hot chick that bangs them freaky-stylie at whim, deserves what they get. When the little scum punk who started FB tells you that you are a dumbfck for providing this info, and you still want a part of it - well, Darwin knows what to do with you. "$5 whore huh? Didja wear a rubber?" "Nah. I mean, when am I ever going back to Haiti?"

    Personally, the free games on Facebook are nice and, finding friends I haven't seen in literally 30 years is a pleasant surprise... Now, if only my posts did not suffer long-term moderation before appearing here...

    Maybe on Facebook the content will load smoother than TTAC, which always sneaks in one last ad-load-full-page-refresh every time I think the front page has FINALLY loaded and I can scroll safely. But I stil love TTAC and wouldn't go anywhere else. The Facebook add-on will only make it better.
