SHOT Previews and Updates

[DDGator]

Hello all,

As I get new press releases and such for SHOT, I will be updating my Facebook page.  I will also post live updates from the Media Day and the show itself on that page.

To watch it, simply "Like" my fan page for "Duane A. Daiker."  Fan page sounds so egotistical -- but that is Facebook's term for it.  

http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Duane-A-Daiker/190049081896

This page is where I keep people up to date on my gun writing, my take on new product announcements, and all stuff shooting related.  You won't be subjected to pictures of my Christmas vacation or my dog (much).

The Rohrbaugh specific information will also be posted on this forum -- as time and internet access permits.

Thanks!

Do you have to belong to facebook to read the updates?

[DDGator]

I am not sure...?  I tried to make it public, so I don't think so.  You can always sign up with a fake name and you never have to post anything.

There are lots of great companies (including many, many gun related companies) on Facebook and it can be a great source of timely info --even if you don't choose to share.

I tried getting on FaceBook once to veiw someones pics whom invited me.
The only way I could get in was to basically join, by giving my e-mail and such.
I blew it off.
I'm behind the times, I don't do social networking.

I tried to join for an ammo giveaway and ended up giving up, it was more hassle than the free ammo was worth to me.

I'm a member, however, don't use it much.

Sorry, guys.  It just so happens that Facebook is a great utility for "real time" updates.  I can easily take and post photos on my Blackberry and upload them over the 3G network while walking around the show.

I thought I was one of the last converts to Facebook.  I was a very late adopter.  But, now I have found a colony of non-conformists.  

Facebook gets a bad rap.  I was skeptical, but now I believe.  The truth is, you can share as much or as little as you want.  It can be an intrusive as you want it to be.  Its all very customizable.

If you can't figure you Facebook, I will be glad to pound out the update on papyrus or send smoke signals!

Thanks for doing your best to share the Shot Show with us, Duane.

I've become a "fan" to get the updates.  Look forward to seeing what you have to post up.  

Definitely agreed that it is easier to add pics on the fly to a utility like Facebook as opposed to a forum like this.

Starting to post up some of the updates I am getting on new product teases and such.  

S&W is promising a new "defensive pistol" and some new M&P revolvers.  Walther will have three new semi-autos.

I am thinking I may put together a video report from the show too -- to try and convey the whole SHOT experience.

Duane.  Just signed in to your Facebook page and clicked on Like.  Neat!  Will be keeping up with your posts.  Thanks.

[DDGator]

Thanks guys, I will hit 100 fans pretty quick.

On board and up your freq. It is easy and thanks.

I jumped on also.
I'll be at the show and no way to view FB from there however.
I'll look forward to seeing your posts when I get home.

Reporting in and standing by, Sir.
