Be a Facebook Fan

Become a fan of LOST on facebook!

I was exploring facebook.com today, looking to become a “fan” of all my favorite things. For those of you unfamiliar with this concept, facebook introduced this features many months ago, it gives individuals and businesses the ability to create “facebook pages”. These pages are usually about one specific thing, a celebrity, a film, a product, a tv show, any many more. The point of these pages is to give the users of facebook a specific place to come together and share with each other their love of each specific topic, and more importantly to show it off by becoming a fan.

So naturally I began my search on the main index of facebook pages and clicked on “TV Shows”. I scrolled though a long list of familiar shows searching for that one show I like the best (Lost). To my surprise it was no where to be found amongst the most popular tv show pages. In fact I was forced to do a search, and even that did not help, the first facebook page I found that was remotely related to the tv show was named “Lost & Philosophy” and only had around 1,700 fans, where most of the mainstream tv show pages had hundreds of thousands. I continued to search for more relevant pages but I could not find any that were much more than an empty page, with the name Lost and a few fans.

To make a long story short, I decided it was time to create a definitive Lost page on facebook, so I did. I wanted to make it simple enough that it’s purpose was crystal clear, but I also wanted to provide some additional features to make it worth visiting. The page features the Lost Episode Countdown Timer, Links to popular Lost podcasts and websites, and links to places you can actually watch Lost! (Did you know abc.com is streaming every single episode of the series online for free?)

Lets show our support for our favorite show on facebook. Become a fan and put those other tv shows in their place.
