Now for a little break from rubber chicken infested missives...
In the past few days, the Twisted Oak Winery Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/twistedoak) has seen a couple of posts from wineries and wine organizations from outside the Sierra Foothills area - one from Sonoma, and one from Monterey (see above). I'm pondering whether this apparent trend really constitutes a fair use of my winery page.On the one hand, cross posting freely with other pages allows everyone to branch out and reach new audiences in one big spirit of community and raising all boats. On the other hand, people who agree to follow/join/like a page are opting in (kind of like email) to that page and are not expecting other messages. It smells like spam. And it seems impolite and presumptive. Also, if this cross posting gets out of hand, my winery messaging could get lost in the mix.**Currently, I'm choosing to reciprocate the behavior to highlight the issue ("hey! you can't spray paint MY wall!"). However, the irony seems to be lost on the other parties. I'm curious what the group mind thinks about this apparent trend.** I am aware that I could choose to split page posts from member posts - however, I rather like the interplay between fans and would hate to diminish that in any way.
