I have a feeling this will get me over my 100! I'm at 82 right now! Thanks for the brilliant idea!

Sure, am there. So clever you are.

C, since I'm not on Facebook due to time constraints in my life I'll just stop by here with a howdy. Hope you win whatever the bet is you are working on!

Dee, lovely! This should be interesting. :-)

Michelle, I shall call you later and be even more clever (LMAO). ;-)

Gary, a howdy from you is always welcome. :-)

You are right it takes about 10 minutes if you don't leave comments.

How do I get added to that list?  : )

Hi C!

I'd love to participate, thanks!

Well Darling, your old Granny doesn't have a face place thingy...so I cant do whatever it is you wanted me to do.  Active Rain seems to be about as wild as this old gal gets!

and...I hope you win...whatever it is

With an old mug like mine, they probably wouldn't allow me to have a face anything?

Love, Granny

Done. I hope you win.

Whew. Hope you win that bet, Carolyn. I've fanned so much I'm downright chilly...

Can I get my pages on the list? Just curious because I am really trying to get mine to 100 so I can get the vanity link...

Chris, just pop your link right into the comments section on the other post page so I can add it to the blog roll or send me a Fan Page invitation in Facebook. I'm fanning up my FB peeps right now (LOL). The chats are virtually killing me though. I've got instant message windows popping up and down like the whack a mole game (LMAO). My fingers are throbbing. Wow... that's new (LOL).

OK, Carolyn...here goes...I'll play. But can I post my fan page even though it isn't finished yet?

Granny Carol, I thank you for letting me know and if you ever need help to set up your possible future account, I would love to walk you through it. Facebook can be fun. How about you click the links just to look at the pages and see what the crew has been up to. Activity on a page is always nice. :-)

OK, Carolyn, I fanned everyone (40 numbers, but some with 2 each) except #32 "Fandemonium" because..  there was no button to become a fan on this page.  Keep us posted & hope you win.

You're so sweet, C!  I will go "fan" everybody.  Can't wait to see what the bet is for...

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/pages/StagersLISTcom-Expo/52040182470

SarahGray, yes you may post even if it isn't finished because it is a work in progress. You have so many wonderful ActiveRain blog articles, you can populate it by posting links back to your fave works. Yours and others (LOL).

Christianne, go on other there and leave me a link to your business fan page in the comments so we can fan you and update the blog roll. :-)

Marianne and Irene, I hope I win too. I'm putting my money where my bolg is. I'm betting on the bay-bays big time. A lot of people are watching this and my e-mail is off the hook (LOL). I trust we're going to have a very interesting weekend (LMAO).

Chris, going over to add you to the blog roll and fan you up right now. ;-)

Margaret, the join group link is right under the Fandemonium icon. Sorry. That page is a global page and the join mechanism is different. Awesome catch!

Okay - well this explains alot! lol...wondered why my numbers suddenly jumped...off to go returned the favours

So when we are done with the gratuitous fan page fanning (hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get a url...sheesh) here's an article to check out over on Realtor.org http://speakingofrealestate.blogs.realtor.org/2009/06/29/facebook-fan-pages-the-difference-between-asking-and-earning/

We can always beg for forgiveness afterward....LOL

How the heck do you "UNfan" someone? I would like to and can't figure out how.

OK, C -- I'm in --- will see what I can do --- after all, we don't want you to win, do we?  Silly question

Cool - I'm in ....I'm all for helping out in the SEO territory :)

OK, C ---- I have to admit here that I lost ---- because I don't know who to search Facebook for business fan pages.

I have no Idea what this is, but I really want you to win!  I went to face book and cant figure out what a fan is how to fan,  or why I'm fanning.

I have 30 minutes of "play" time so I'll keep trying.

C- OK...I'v done 25...a few more to go...had to stop and rest a bit...LOL.

I would love to participate. This sounds like big fun!! Count me in!!

;)

OK I did it, I figured it out, now I get why. Active Rain is REALLY opening my eyes to this technology stuff.

So now Im a fan, a big fat fan, infact I may even be a groupie.

I'm in too - added a link on the other post. Have fanned most of the entries, have to go back and check the rest. We have a long way to go to 100... ~Rita

I think i'll give it a try ,sounds like a great idea!

Hey BayBay! 

I am at well over 200 now!!!  Thanks for the "fan love"!!!   I will go and check out the list to spread the joy!  (ps, I think I already have fanned every RE agent on FB, but who knows......I might find some I don't know of!!!! 

Have a great Holiday w/ your kiddos! 

Hi Sandra. Gotta get my bay-bays fanned up while having some fun (LOL). ;-)

SarahGray, that was interesting. Thank you for the link. I play more on Facebook than do actual Real Estate, so I didn't join it to sell, sell, sell and reiterate I AM A REALTOR (LOL). I joined it to be social and have more play friends than business friends. Fun part is, my play friends are hiring me. Haaaaa! They IM me there and DM me listings all day and know the exact moment I am on-line. They e-mail me if I don't show up and actually say I haven't seen you on Facebook. Guess who doesn't have a listing on her CTannSTarr page anywhere? (ROTFLMAO). How's that for irony? :-) I guess I'll have to check the OBMR to see if there may be a listing or two over there. I don't think so, but I do post other people's links on my pages, sooooo... :-D

Hey girl, oh yeah we know when you're on line...not so much skulking as paying attention. Do you feel like nobody else is out playing tonight...it's kinda lonely....

Dee, very easy. Look left and scroll all the way down and you will see a "remove me from fans" link just over the "share +" icon. Click it and you have UNFANNED a fan page.

I had to do a few of those. Some people are crazy with updates. Sorority Life is fun but I really don't give a crap about daily temp admin announcements and one group was constantly spamming me with them. It was the only thing they friggin said. BORING!!!  Seriously... Why do you have to tell me you are the temporary admin of the day and why do they change every day? WTF? A few days they changed them more than I changed my socks. They had to go... I already get mad e-mail (LMAO).  The Mafia Wars crew are cool. They don't litter your inbox and usually give you gifts, tips and pointers. I like them. Useful information people. Share useful information... :-)

Liz, I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win (LOL). Send me more people. I need more people for everyone here. ;-)

C.,

I am going in and giving it a try.  My site is Coastal Georgia Real Estate Chapman Realty for those of you who just wanna be a fan.....

SarahGray I have 36 friends playing IM chat games with me now. Believe me whan I say the bay-bays are out and about. I think everyone is soliciting their friends and family members wondering why they have X amount of people but can't get a decent response (LOL). I have been answering fan page questions all day and showing off the benefits of AR most of the night. We are going to win this bet. I trust you guys and know in the end I will get what I want: The brick and mortars eating crow and joining our social network (LOL). BTW, it's a nice gift and I friggin want it... Seriously... (Yes, they are reading my blog posts and lurking on all of yours. We're competitive that way (LMAO). ;-)

So...truth is I am more 'old school' like Patricia's post about her "older friend'! I've been in this biz for almost 30 years and I'm all about real-life networking; this is new to me. But it is a blast. I see how it translates and I like it but I will always want the real contact...so the listing post on my FB page is just an experiment. I believe in trying it out and seeing where it goes...like most social networking, I do it and "get it" after the fact.  You are a touchstone for me...a 'how we do it now' and I'm impressed...I also like getting to know you this way. Am I crazy?

Julie, my love, I have been praying for your friend and we will have a group prayer for her. I will add your business page to the blog roll and fan you up. :-)

Shaun, awesome, I will add you to the roll, sweetie pie. We're pretty close by. Lets do lunch one day soon. :-)

Liz, click the links on the other post and they will take you to the business fan pages (LOL). We're making a list for the bay-bays.  :-D

Kathleen, nothing beats a try, so thank you for attempting to play with us. BTW they have become a fan buttons. Keep peeking at those pages and you will find them. :-)

No SarahGray, I'm the one who is crazy (LMAO) ;-)

We can play phone tag as well if you like. I live on my phone and call people in Club Chaos every single day. It's a tradition. We call, Skype, e-mail, IM, DM, FB, tweet and meet. I have lots of little visits I don't blog about simply because I am hanging out with my friends and don't feel a need to tell every little thing I do. I already tell an awful lot, don't you think? (LOL)

I got a call from George Hartman who I am interviewing for the Outside Blog Minion Report. He's got a few books published and is creating some really interesting comic books. I snagged an interview for next Wednesday because of Facebook. Social media can be mad fun if you let it and it provides instant access to people. We just traded cell phone numbers on an IM in FB and he called me between assignments around 9 PM today. I had a blast chatting with him and realized if we were in the corporate world I would have had to make an appointment and hoped for the best. Social media gives you instant access. No buffers. No delays. You have to decide to seize your opportunity to make an impression. Do it with sincerity and the door opens every single time. :-)

Rebecca, it is quite a project, eh? Pretty dynamic and fluid. The list will keep growing until Sunday. Then we tally 'em up. :-)

Betina, looking forward to it and will go to the other post to update the blog roll in a few. :-)

LOL @ Kathleen, Starting to get it, eh? Wait until I start creating my version of Club Chaos SEO Bootcamp (ROTFLMAO). Time to get my bay-bays dominating search engines the Wordy C way. I got plans for your fan pages, among other things (LMAO). Gotta get your blogs ranking higher as well so when we show each other some link love we can blast to page one and take our bay-bays with us. Can you imagine my version of a training session? I've been tickled pink over the idea. Illustrating how to improve your blog will be mad fun. I'm thinking I should make a bunch of flash presentations and animate some videos, among other things (LOL).

Rita, awesome!!! Will go fan you up in a few. :-)

Chuck, come on out and play with us. :-)

Pam, very cool. That is good news. Very good news! :-)

Oh yeah...I'm there...grabbing it. It's just that in so many ways it is exactly what I'm used to...talking to folks...you are too right about the no buffers and instant access of social networking. I'm just not used to giving it a name. People are people...and as you say, sincerity is the ticket. I don't mean quick sincerity but just sayin' what you mean...I find that assuming people are good and  being open is best. If they aren't,  it becomes obvious quickly and you can move on...I'm too old to be hurt by it. Telling all is not a requirement but saying real stuff when you say it, matters. You da bomb and the real thing, bay-bay!

Speaking of comic books, have you read the Rabbi's Cat? One of my favs!

Thanks... I have had some folks drop by... I might need to add a couple more... 

SarahGray, I will Google it and see what the Rabbi's Cat is all about.

Lane, you are very welcome and I will see what I can do about helping you grow your subscriber base.. :-)

C - Please feel free to teach SEO boot camp.  I will put on my combat boots and be your first student. (did I hear you say world domination?)

uh oh...I don't get AR on my phone very good...didnt see this til 1030 my time...

Kathleen, I'm sitting on the floor with my A+ and Network+ textbooks going, "Hmm... we could do that..." (LOL). Yes. It's true. I said Google Domination... It's a new fascination with me. I want to see just how far I can bend the line on getting people to hook up with some link love and maximize their blogs. There are people here who only post members only. They don't realize their private pages are never indexed and ranked. I want to start getting them to post a few to the public so they can be found. We really do need to start supporting each other a little more. I have a few members in Club Chaos that barely blog. I'm going to get them blogging (LOL).

Teresa, my love, I'm glad you are here. Let's have some fun, shall we? ;-)

C- I'm one of those people, barely blog and mostly for members only....SO glad I found you.  I believe in the great power of "Numbers"  The more people helping each other, the more people helped.  Google domination, world domination, whatever.

Off to dream up a public post.   Thank you

LOL @ Kathleen. I am soooooo looking forward to seeing what you serve up for the public to enjoy. Need any help with anything, let me know. :-)

Me too, me too!!!  Become a fan of Jeani Thomas Richie on Facebook!  I want my vanity URL!!!  Let's take over Facebook...REALTORS Unite!!! :o)))

Jeani

ROTFLMAO @ Jeani. When I get back into the office I'll make sure to fan you and add you to the blog roll (LOL). Running out the door with a client and will be back in a couple of hours to update everything. ;-)

Ha.. now this is interesting.. if you win or loose.. we will not know what you get or loose.. Interesting :)

Roland, I can tell everyone when the wager is concluded (LOL).

Thanks for the fans...I'm now up to 58. Still need to get up to 100 for the URL name. Come on fans....get us to our goal!

Click here to be a fan of Lizette Realty

I second Lizette! Fan her up bay-bays! Show the virtual family some link love. The whole world is watching!!! (26 countries anyway - LOL)

Besides, I am not losing this bet on a global scale. I am too competitive for that and my brick and mortars would never let me live that down since I average over forty hours per week on-line with you. We are a teasing machine and play with each other on nd off line. They are such pranksters and there's wiggle room to modify this bet. I should make them join ActiveRain as penance in addition to what I am determined for them to lose when I win (LOL). Get busy people. I want to show off my pending gift and lovingly torture a few friends who have been lurking on your blogs and enjoying you. We laugh about your posts all the time and I have to get these people out of the closet and onto the Network, among other things. ;-)

Hi Carolyn - ha! now I know where some of the new fans have been coming from!  Thanks, and I'll be checking others out as well.  You rock for putting this list together!

Ann

Ann, thank you. Share the link and pass it along. I'm gonna continue to boost my bay-bays numbers. I have a lot of work to do before dinner time (LOL). ;-)
