DN Journal has had a presence on Facebook since 2007 however, since I joined before the popular social media platform started offering company pages, I have always posted DNJournal updates on my personal account. The reason I signed up in the first place was a suggestion 

from Dr. Chris Hartnett, that this new platform would be a great place for those of us in the industry to stay in closer contact.  

That setup worked fine for quite awhile because the vast majority of people on my friend's list were domain people. However, over the years, non industry friends and family also discovered Facebook and connected with me there as well. For a long time now they have been wondering "does this guy post anything" that isn't related to "domains" - and, oh by the way, what the heck is a "domain" anyhow!

The other problem, with the growth of the industry, was getting dozens of friend requests from people I didn't know, making it impossible to know who I should add and who I shouldn't. As a result, I wound up adding some I should not have (spammers, etc.) and not  adding some well intentioned people that just wanted to follow DNJ.

So, I finally parted the waters over the weekend and launched the new DNJournal.com Facebook Page that anyone can follow just by Liking the page. I knew I also need to

give Facebook users a reason to Like the page (beyond the usual site updates that are already available through our RSS Feed and popular aggregation sites like Domaining.com. So, I'll post some exclusive content (and comments) there like the Photo of the Day feature that was added today. 

Over the past 11 years DN Journal has assembled a massive domain industry photo library with more than 100,000 images in it - many of which have never been published before. I'm sure many would enjoy seeing some of those historic photos, so I'll pick an interesting one and post it on our Facebook page each day (or as close to daily as possible).
