Find Us on Facebook

Post by Mike Carey » Wed Sep 07, 2011 2:37 am

Did you know WashingtonLakes.com is also on Facebook?

While this will always be "Home", if the site is ever down you can go to our FaceBook page for status updates and news.

So if you have a Facebook account please consider friending WashingtonLakes.com and "Find Us on Facebook"!

How can I friend WaLakes.com? I have already liked and that is all I know how to do.

You can't (as far as I know) because it was created as a business and not a person.
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

It's a page under my personal account (not the way I would have done it if I understood the process back then. "Like"ing is just fine. I don't even know what advantage there would be to "friending". Facebook is kinda secondary to me.

I chat with quite a few people on it and I like seeing the fish pictures.

August we had record fishing reports - 311 river and 191 saltwater reports. Thanks to all that submitted a report and let readers know how the action was out there!

We are starting to use our WashingtonLakes.com FaceBook page more and I am trying to post a "Report of the Day" to share with the FaceBook crowd. So your report may get featured there!

While you're at it, please "Like" us on FaceBook. We are almost at 1,000 Likes. (I'm told being Liked is a Good Thing) [cool]

We are at 975 "Likes" on our FaceBook page - help us get to 1,000! We're now posting interesting and outstanding reports/information/videos on our FaceBook page. Maybe the next report to get highlighted will be yours. =D>

Not too worried about that. FB isn't a fishing site, so using our report system and then sharing your fishing report to FB seems like a good way to reach out to family and friends that don't have WL.com bookmarked.

I like having FB highlight reports!! If you "Like" the report then your friends may see that particular post. On a tangent (and probably a keen grasp of the obvious)--I've notices quite a few people on the forum posting about their success--it sure would be nice to get actual reports from them. Now that I actually catch a few I'm even more aware how valuable those posts are.

Also, if one does a report it goes into the stats for the historical data. This feature is available in premium membership (sale at 17.99 a year). It can tell you what is the most caught species, best month, best type of lure, and a few others.

Reports will be easy to access whereas the forums will get buried eventually and harder to find.

With our latest downtime our FaceBook "Likes' went over 1,000. I guess that's one way to get more "Likes", have the site go down?
Thanks everyone for "liking" us. I'm told (by people that have many more likes) that this is important. Mark Zuckerberg is laughing all the way to the bank. Never mind, he owns the bank. #-o

Have you ever considered to change the fanpage URL to something like

facebook.com/washington.lakes

It would be a nice move in my opinion!
