I want to state from the outset this isn’t a “woe is us” type post, but rather an open discussion on the merits and downfalls of social media for a fan site such as ours. In fact, it’s not even ourselves that we feel bad for – we feel it worse for our fans, and secondly for any other up and coming fan site like ours as they try to make it in a social media online world that has slowly become less inviting for new players.
For those unaware, we have a handful of very pointed social media presences. By far our most popular presence is that of Facebook. Our Facebook page has 184,000+ likes at the time of this post. Next is the 17,000+ following us on Twitter, followed by 3,000+ on Google Plus (via our sister site, Gamnesia) and just over 1,000 on our brand new Tumblr page. It should be noted these are not the only available social media platforms out there. There is Instagram and raptr as well, just to name a couple.
