It looks like it wouldn't be too hard to make a CB widget showing your Characters' status for Facebook.

referal

This would only "rock" imo if when non-cb players looked into what it was all about you'd get the referal bonuses.

Thats imo

Facebook?

So, basically, I would be able to broadcast my char's status on a Facebook page, which is somewhat like Myspace? If that is the case, that would give me a good opportunity to advert the game, and I'd prolly make myself a page just for that.

Facebook?

I don't exactly know what it is, but from the facebook homepage it sounds like it is something like myspace. If it is something like that, i don't think i would use it. However for ppl that would use this page to display information on the internet i think adding a CB char display would be good to win some new players for the game.

I had never heard of Facebook before this poll, but I think this is a good idea. It would definitily help new players come in, heh and it's fun to see how people's characters are doing outside of CB :P

Hein?

What on earth is that?

-- Brakke Bres

I can vote now.

Gave this a bit of thought, and researched a bit. I'd definately use it, if only for the reason I stated above: exposure. If it indeed is not hard to give birth to, why not?

Claire loves facebook

She's been nagging me to join, maybe this would sway it. Edit: While myspace is popular with both the American and EU players, it's seems facebook (and catbook... I'm sure there's a dogbook as well...) isn't as well known by the good people on the other side of the pond to me. ;)

FACEBOOK IS ....

For those of you who dont know of facebook yet,

think of myspace++ basically

it will soon be the market leader in social networking sites and is set to become as common place as email as the applications are sweeping entire office blocks / businesses / colleges

-- Mythology

Whats it do?

What does this facebook actually do though?

-- Wasp

Facebook = college myspace

Facebook

Basically, it's used for messaging friends and keeping them up to date on your life. I use it mainly to keep in touch with friends who (like me) hate email.

facebook is like myspace but for college students. Aka only college students at the same college or friends can see your profile unlike myspace = less stalkers

-- Tach

facebook is...

a waste of time, there i said it.

its just a sess pool of internet trash of party pictures, and you can see alot, friends of friends and so on, there is too much crap with that facebook(i know i ahve an account) all kinds of add-ons that dont work half the time.

but in the interest of getting new players im for it.

-- Unappreciated Misnomer

lol...

"I use facebook, but since I like to keep my nerdiness on the down low, I would not use the widget. "

hear hear, I tend not to mix it with my social life, though with myspace not facebook.

-- Flamey

Why the comparisons?

Facebook is nothing like emospace, for a start there is no tackiness, as as far as I have seen there is no option to put crap backgrounds in.
Facebook also only allows you to contact people who are within the same communities as you or people you can name search (generally people you already know) and you cannot see any of their info until they include you as their friend.
Overall, Facebook is more of an organiser than a profile site and depending on the functions of the widgets I'd probably use them.

All I know

is that the CEO/Owner of Facebook turned down an offer to buy his company for 1 Billion dollars. If you ask me, anyone that greedy or stupid does not deserve or qualify for my support.

Facebook

i use it alot, its like myspace, nexopia and stuff like that except its the best i've used so far, usually it was meant for college students and up. but it changed and pretty much anyone can register. its way more popular in that its way more international than the other sites (being myspace and such).

-- Ragatag

All i know..

is that someone with that much pride and authentication with his company would deserve mine ;)

-- [Nkki]WildEagle

I love the differing opinions!

Reading this, I have come to the conclusion that "Myspace is popular with both American and EU players, but Facebook isn't as well known on the other side of the pond", and yet Facebook is more popular and more international than Myspace. Also that Facebook is basically Myspace for college students, despite the fact that Facebook is absolutely non-comparable to Myspace whatsoever. Makes a whole lot sense, doesn't it? ;-)

-- RedWolf

I wouldn't use it.

I have a Facebook for only one reason: my friends want me to. There's little to no information on there about me, as with my MySpace, and I rarely log on. So nope, wouldn't put a widget on there either. Besides, I haven't even told my girl I play CB yet, so I'm not putting anything up there with CB on it. Just my personal preference, only a few people I know realize that this is how I spend my spare time.
