Ugh Facebook! user added image

At least it was your choice to start a fb page. Have you ever thought about starting a blog?

Blogs for the win. I know they're"90s" or whatever, but my blog has provided me with more than one excellent networking and potential employment opportunity. Can't say the same for FB, although my family and friends see my stuff more easily/often there.

Can't you just kill the odd bad comment? I don't know how facebook handles that. That's a shame either way. Who does that?

LOL Jay it was just a matter of time before you had a run in with Facebook's flavor of emotionally unstable ranters. Also, I see you're merging the sites there, good call, I'm having some trouble reading the text though, a bit on the thin side.

I with Stwert, I love my little blog and have no regrets.

Sorry, but why not just post your work here?

Family, friends, and colleagues aren't members here; they can follow a lot easier on a blog or facebook. It's also easier to manage a feed elsewhere, threads can get buried pretty quickly. And there's more control/organization on a blog.

Sure, but if he wants help from other artists, it's a better shot to do it here.

That's definitely true, this place gives the most exposure to other artists.

Well yeah, and I'd recommend that he continues to post here. I also think having a blog is great too for the reasons Stwert mentioned and I think it helps with information retention if you write/talk about it, it's definitely helped me.

Stwert, question for youuuu.

Is there a particular reason you chose Vimeo over Youtube?

I've got stuff on both. I'm still kind of in a testing period. I don't get a lot of views on either by search/chance, so most of my views are generated from embeds, which works with either. For the time being, I've decided on using YT for tuts and misc stuff, and using vimeo for finished pieces, because it looks more professional and then I have a more polished set of videos. I just feel like those fit the respective communities better. I should upload my finished pieces to youtube too.

The downside to vimeo for finished work is embeds don't allow HD unless you're a pro member.

Random: I did record a very crappy tut on ncloth for a member on this site which currently has over 4000 views, pretty much everything else is under 200. Why does the crappiest thing get way more views... and I can't even delete it, because what if someone decides to watch something decent on my channel because he found the crappy ncloth demo.

LOL now I have to see that video! It can't be worse than the A.D.D riddled stuff I've recorded haha. I have a few vids on Youtube though, some of them are private because they feature scenes people sent me asking for help.

I'm currently recording a vid for total and absolute Maya newbies, I don't know I just feel like I should have that be the "official" first (or maybe even the only tutorial - well one that isn't a reply to a question anyway).

But I wouldn't feel comfortable to start a blog knowing that no one would be on it. I thought I'd just update my Facebook page with all my projects i finish / idea's etc etc. and hopefully get some people to discuss with, get help from etc with via my facebook page :p ..
