I've been on Twitter and Facebook for a while now, but one of the items on my list of things to do is make the site a bit more social network friendly, which seems to be the trendy thing to do these days.

FIREFLYFANS.NET is now on Twitter, a Browncoat list for fellow tweeps to follow, and a Twitter widget on the FFF.NET 2.0 site's main page.

If any of you care to follow, please feel free to do so. I'm fairly new to making these lists and maintaining them, so I'm 100% sure how smoothly this whole thing will go, but I do need people following to work out the kinks.

If any of you are social media savvy, comments and suggestions for making this work well are welcome.

To follow FIREFLYFANS.NET: http://twitter.com/fireflyfansnet or @FIREFLYFANSNET

To follow the FFF.NET Browncoats list: http://twitter.com/FIREFLYFANSNET/browncoats or @FIREFLYFANSNET/browncoats

There's also a Facebook fan page for FFF.NET that I've been neglecting and at some point FFF.NET 2.0 will integrate with that as well.

I guess some folk might like it - call me a luddite, but I consider twitter spawn of the unholy pit, maybe it's just me.

S'ok though, just please, please, please, not one of them widget things which takes over part of your screen and all but bodily flings itself at you, I've been having to re-hack my defenseware against a lot of overlay, script and flashy-spinny garbage that all but leaps through your PC screen with it's nasty, grasping claws around your throat lately, and them widgets are about the worst, so imma maybe a little wigged by them...

LOL...this was a quickie experiment to see if it's worth the effort and perhaps expand our reach a bit more and maybe build a stronger Firefly community as a result.

If the Twitter widget becomes an issue, Plan B is for me to just query the Twitter API directly without all that javascript.

Hop on over to the beta site and see if it sets off all sorts of alarms for you.

I'm following you now! I don't do much twittering (or whatever it's called), but joined to follow Nathan, Adam, and several others.

Oh COOL, a slide-window like the Tag, so I can just snap a glance at it instead of jumping through hoops in case there *IS* anything interesting on the way in - very nice, that.

No alarm bells, and the site looks right good, I actually like both themes, the blue and the brown, but the brown is more fireflyish, I'll admit.

If I didn't think the legality would be questionable, I'd be tempted to send ya bottle of single malt, if you drink scotch, that is...

Can't be said enough, how much you rock.

I don't tweet, I don't use Facebook or MySpace or any other social networking site, but if this will help fff.net and increase the Browncoat ranks then it is a good thing.

It's not just you, Frem. I'm pretty sure social networking sites like myspace, facebook, livejournal, and twitter are a hot bed of white hat and black hat ops.

Of course, with so much bulldunk posts about "my boyfriend isn't talking to me I think he's cheating!" "what I had for lunch," and "what lunch looked like when it came back out," chances are good anyone monitoring on the other end are mostly digging through epic levels of crap. You almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

Still, risks rather not taken, y'know?
