Guess who has a Facebook Page for crocheTime again?

crocheTime facebook

I decided to start a Facebook Page again because it really is a great place for me to share quick ideas and links with you. Ditto for you to share with me. The page even has a nifty Shop tab that duplicates whatever is in my Etsy shop.

Last time I had a crocheTime Page, it reach 1,000 Likes. A lot of slip stitches have been crocheted since then, so who knows how many Likes the Page will get this time round? Here’s hoping for more than 1,000!

You can click here to Like the Page and join in the fun.

I very much look forward to seeing you there!

 

This is why I closed my Facebook account

Facebook

Sunday 24 March 2013 I closed my Facebook account. Here are my reasons for exiting the Book Of Face:

  1. I’ve been thinking of closing Facebook for almost a year now. The only thing that prevented me from doing so was the CrocheTime page. I had 1000 likes on the page, but due to Facebook’s algorithms, less than 200 people actually viewed the updates I posted on the Page. My blog gets more hits per day (around 400), so what’s the point of having the Page? As soon as I figured this out, I realised there was no reason to keep my Facebook account.
  2. Facebook was turning me into a nosey, stalker type person. I don’t want to be that kind of person.
  3. I had people in my Friend list that I barely know in person, and some I have never even met, yet they were filling my newsfeed with things I’m really not interested in.
  4. I’m a big believer in the notion that people come into our lives with a purpose, and when that purpose is fulfilled they leave. We all feel a bond with people at a certain time in your life, but as you grow older, you change and they change and then you naturally go your separate ways. I’m not talking of only man-woman relationships, but friendships, colleagues and neighbours too. Facebook was keeping people in my life that I have moved on from.
  5. The amount of advertising, suggested posts, suggested pages and just general rubbish I couldn’t hide from my newsfeed, was getting more and more, and more and more irritating;
  6. I was judging people based on their activities/photos/friends on Facebook. I don’t want to be that kind of person.
  7. My Facebook visits weren’t making me happy or inspiring me. In fact it became irritating and draining, yet I felt compelled to go back. Again and again just in case I missed something.  I don’t want to be that kind of person.
  8. I was spending too much time thinking “Ooh, how can I word this situation/conversation so that it would be a good status update” and taking photos of things so that I could post it on Facebook, in stead of actually enjoying that situation/conversation and appreciating the scenery.
  9. WordPress Reader, Pinterest and Instagram are filled with like-minded individuals so I would like to spend more time on these websites.
  10. There are other ways of keeping in touch with friends. Ways that don’t include strangers and the people in no. 4, knowing what I get up to.

Sorry Facebook, this isn’t working any more. It’s time for me to move on.

Etsy, Facebook

Etsy has recently launched a very handy little feature. If you have a Facebook page and an Etsy shop, you can now link the two with a handy “fLike” button on your Etsy shop Homepage. This means that whenever someone fLikes your Etsy shop, they automatically also like your Facebook page! How cool is that!

I linked the two a few minutes ago and immediately Etsy told me I have 154 likes on my Facebook page.  Brilliant!

It would be super duper nice if you, my dear blog readers, could visit my Etsy shop and fLike my shop, and thereby also fLike my Facebook page. There hasn’t been much activity in my shop recently as I’m working hard to create stock for the Christmas markets. Whatever is left over after the markets will however be put up for sale in the shop, so stock levels will increase towards the beginning of December. My Facebook page however is a bit more alive 😉

Other Etsy shop owners who read this blog should also think about linking their Etsy shop to Facebook (and/or Twitter). It’s a win-win situation!

I hope to see your name as a new like on my Facebook page, soon!
