iPhone apps for bands in minutes
Not sure any of our bands can afford this right now, but it’s an interesting idea:

When will Facebook reward us for using “Pages” rather than Profiles?
So we’ve heard about bands getting their “Profile” type pages deleted from Facebook. They’re really trying to push people with bands, businesses, and organizations to use their “Page” profiles instead.
Recently, they’ve added the ability to post status updates from the band page. If you’re logged in as yourself but you post from the Page, it shows as coming from the Page (i.e. “THE VITAL MIGHT”)
You can create photo and video albums. You can create events. There used to be a limitation to the events feature for Pages but that seems to have gone away.
A couple things we’d like to see with these Pages:
1. Friendly URLs. It’s really a drag to have to send this URL to people for them to become a fan of our page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=625336849#/pages/THE-VITAL-MIGHT/8857891837?ref=ts
Here are our other site URLs:
http://www.myspace.com/thevitalmight
http://www.purevolume.com/thevitalmight
http://www.youtube.com/thevitalmight
You tell me which one doesn’t fit.
2. A way to solicit new fans (OTHER than paying for a Facebook Ad). On MySpace, you can find other fans of similar music and request they become a fan/friend. In Facebook, there isn’t a distinct way to do that without sending out the ugly URL. When we used a Profile page, we could simply add people as friends.
3. A way to mashup with external sites. I’d love to be able to post photos in ONE place and have them feed Facebook, MySpace, Purevolume, etc. Right now, we upload to about 5 different places to cover everyone.
If anyone has other ideas on how to get around these limitations, or if they’ve heard about any change coming, please let us know!
Cheers,
Andy
