A TTC fansite on Facebook…set-up by a fan, not us!

Over the weekend I got an email from a subscriber announcing that she’d set up a fan site for us on Facebook. Wow – a genuine, non-employee (!!) set up a place for our Facebook-connected friends to access and be part of the TTC family!!?  I was thrilled, and a little amzed by her initiative — especially since we’d been wanting to start one for a long time.  And I’ll admit that we did write to her and ask if we could have co-administrator privileges to quickly add photos, updates, cast lists, et al.

The staff sent a quick series of invitations from their own Facebook pages inviting friends, local actorsand theatre buddies, and even former staff now spread across the country. It essentially went from one member on Monday morning to over a hundred by Wednesday. Of course the challenge is to keep it engaging, and a meeting place for our community of stakeholders’s enthusiasm, requests, opinions and challenges — not a PR-lingo, perfect grammar, company-drivel site. Check it out.
