Interview #866: Brandon Sanderson’s Blog: AMoL Q&A time change! Also, Waygate Foundation & Updates, Entry #3

Brandon Sanderson

Speaking of Facebook, my Facebook URL has changed. So if you used to visit my Facebook page via a bookmark or typing it in manually, the new URL to use is facebook.com/BrandSanderson . Now the link matches my Twitter handle, twitter.com/BrandSanderson . If you’re curious as to why that is, Twitter handles max out at 15 characters, and BrandonSanderson is one character too long. With that restriction, BrandSanderson seemed like the best option that was available. Facebook has no such limit, but there are plenty of other Brandon Sandersons out there, and one of them already claimed the full URL on Facebook. Alas!

Anyway, I used to have two different URLs on Facebook, one of them my profile and one of them a page. Both locations posted the same things, so if you were following one but not the other, you didn’t miss out on anything I said—but the conversation in the posts’ comments was fractured into two and switching back and forth between the two got confusing. Well, Facebook finally allowed me to combine the page into my profile, so everyone who had hit “like” on my Page is now a subscriber to my profile. (There were about 5,000 of you who were following both locations before.)

Facebook still has a way of usually hiding my updates from your newsfeed, so if you want to make sure you see all of my posts, go to my profile and mouseover the “Subscribed” button. Under “Show in News Feed” click on “Settings . . . “ and pick “All Updates.” You can also put a checkmark by “Get Notifications” if you really want to make sure you never miss anything I post. That may be a bit of overkill though, unless you’re just that interested. My assistant has also uploaded a new Twitter posts archive showing what and who I was talking about/to on Twitter for the last six weeks or so.
