Burning up time on Facebook

Post by jason »

I've noticed this is an open group. Doesn't this mean anyone can see people's comments on it? Wouldn't it be better if it was a closed group ? I think a lot of other bands FB groups are closed. If I want to talk about the Stranglers all night I don't my other FB friends seeing that. Have I got a point or I have I got this wrong?

Can't really say I've given it any thought. The problem with "closed groups" is that it all becomes a bit secret squirrels and all that.

I guess in some ways it's good some people on the outside will see posts about the band but I personally would prefer to use it in a private group like this. Maybe that's just me though.

Why are you concerned about your other FB friends seeing what you post? If you want to talk Stranglers all night on a dedicated page that's your prerogative as an individual, stuff what other people may think.

A lot of similar groups on Facebook are closed so I just thought Burning up time would be too but it's no problem. I've shared Stranglers songs on Facebook before to my friends and closed music groups. I guess if its an open group it promotes the band more which is no bad thing.
