PrintYou love Amazin' Avenue. You also love Facebook. Don't you wish there were a way to love both of them together? Good news, everybody! There are lots of ways to do that!
The first way is just to "like" our Facebook fan page. There's a link on the left sidebar here, but you can also just click the "Like" button below:
All of our front-page articles plus everything from our Twitter feed get posted to our Facebook page, so it's dead simple to keep up with everything going on here when you're spending time over there.
There are also a lot of ways you can share what we do here with your friends on Facebook which we'll look at after the jump.
At the bottom of every post on the front page of the site is a "Like" button, which you can use to share that post with your Facebook friends. This will show up as a "So and so likes..." on your Facebook wall.
On the interior pages of our site (i.e. off the front page), the same "Like" button can be found at the top right of the article. This is true of featured articles as well as user-contributed FanPosts.
While pretty much everything we write here is worthy of your Facebook promotion, maybe you feel like actually reading the article before deciding if you want to share it with your friends. That's fine, because there's a "Like" button waiting for you at the bottom!
What about FanShots, you say? We've got you covered. Another "Like" button at the bottom of each FanShot, so you can promote others' as well as your own contributions to Amazin' Avenue.
Finishing up an especially poignant or hilarious comment that you wish could be easily cross-posted to your Facebook wall? Just click the checkbox next to the "Post" button before publishing your comment and you'll be given the opportunity to send it through the intertubes right to your Facebook wall for all to see.
So go check out our Facebook fan page, become a fan (i.e. "Like" it), and enjoy a new way to bring your loves of Facebook and Amazin' Avenue together.

I am apparently extremely old and can't figure out technology
I have a facebook account, but all I ever see are photos of people drinking, invites to parties that old friends are throwing thousands of miles away, and people asking me to work on their virtual farm or join their virtual criminal enterprise. Am I missing something?

are you on your news feed or live feed?
also do your friends use it for anything other than posting pictures of people drinking and virtual farming (also you can hide all posts from those types of games I had to to do that).

do I spy you on that facebook screenshot?

Yeah, I find that the key is
to go into the preferences and turn off all the various “notifications” of events and what not. I just use it like a self-updating address book and little more, but being in my late 20s I’m a semi old person too.

Now that I'm 34
I avoid excessively spicy or greasy food
>2 drinks is reserved for a wedding or Thanksgiving
I have to do exercises for my back
A good night’s sleep and only two meetings is a good day
I used to be awesome, really.

I hear this...
Except I eat really spicy food. Helps to keep my youthful, or so I think.
Wow, I'm 46
I love and consume excessively spicy food
>2 drinks is a typical 120 minutes
I’ve never had back trouble (knocks on wood)
5½-6 hours sleep and I’m ready to rock
Keep being awesome!

I haven't seen it and refuse to accept that it could be good
but it’s gotten rave reviews. It has a 97 from 190 reviews on rotten tomatoes, which is completely insane. Apparently the cast/acting is really good.
mediocrity thy name is Wilpon- jdon (and Billy King-Paul G B)
I've heard it compared to:
The Graduate, Network, All the President’s Men, The Godfather, Citizen Kane
I thought it sounded like the worst idea for a movie ever (well, until they started making the Moneyball movie), but the previews looked pretty good, and the reviews have pretty much clinched it for me. I’m going to see it tomorrow night. Pretty excited.
2009 Did Not Happen
You've really heard it compared to those?
I just can’t grasp it. I was with you I thought it was the worst idea for a movie ever made (and I actually thought it was a made for tv mtv movie until like 3 weeks ago).
mediocrity thy name is Wilpon- jdon (and Billy King-Paul G B)
It's written by the West Wing guy, though I haven't seen that
and directed by David Fincher who’s made some great movies and some terrible ones (Benjamin Button jesssuusss). I’ll believe that it’s good, though I also think that middle-aged reviewers are grooving on the idea that it’s “laying bare the soul” of a generation that it’s now trendy to comment about.

I forgot he made Benjamin Button
That’s got to be an outlier, not the start of a trend, right?
Image credit for Jerrysaurus goes to astromets
Yes
David Fincher directed Fight Club, Seven, The Game, among others.
Aaron Sorkin wrote Sports Night (amazing and short-lived teevee show), The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The American President, among others.
Pretty great duo, not surprised it has been so well received.
Sports Night was great.
I miss that show.
If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
yeah I've only read one review
and it seemed to focus on it being a social commentary on an entire generation.
mediocrity thy name is Wilpon- jdon (and Billy King-Paul G B)
it's still about a worthless subject
i boycott it with slightly less interest than my boycott of fadbook.

It was okay.
No one was outstanding acting-wise, although Justin Timberlake was surprisingly tolerable. I felt they framed the story in a weird way and I felt it ended abruptly. I had low expectations going in, and it was better than them. The Oscar hyperbole isn’t warranted. If you’re interested in how the writers turned a probably mundane story into a quasi-interesting tale of betrayal about the founding of facebook, go see it. If not, wait til it comes out on dvd.

Saw it yesterday
It was ok, Timberlake kind of ruins it for me, he sucks as an actor. And the characters are all so unlikeable that it’s hard to get into it. You can tell Sorkin just doesn’t like the subject he’s writing about. They really made the league character into a one note dorky douche. They guy who played the twins was pretty good though.
After reading the New Yorker article
he kind of seems like a one note dorky douche.
My wife uses facebook to look at pictures of people she didn't even like in highschool and their kids with stupid names like Mykenzee
I apologize if your name is mykenzee or if you’ve named your child something stupid.
I have no use for it currently.

There was a good New Yorker cartoon
with Tarzan and a pregnant Jane up in a tree. Caption: “So, we’re agreed. If it’s a boy we’ll call him, ‘Boy,’ and if it’s a girl we’ll call her ‘Madison.’”

Oddly....
In my wife’s family there are twins named…Madison and McKenzie. Needless to say this exchange was good for the lulz.
If you all...
remember any of my posts in the past year or follow BBV at all, very easy to pick me out of the group.
I joined FB after giving up my personal blog
It’s not as awful as I thought it would be, but I do ignore those friend requests from guys I went to grammar school with and haven’t spoken to in 18 years. If I wanted to be your friend now, I’d be your friend now in real life. Basically it’s useful just to see what friends who live in others parts of the country are doing.
I've already been a fan for a while
I’m also a Facebook fan of Megaweapon and Zap Rowsdower (bonus points to those of you who know what those are).
I’ve also tried figuring out which posters here are which Facebook fans of the site. Is Paperman a fan?

Meh
I’ve been on Facebook forever and still like it a lot despite privacy issues etc., but I’m of the opinion that it doesn’t actually need to be integrated with everything else on the Internet. If I want article to show up on my Facebook page, I’m perfectly capable of copying the URL and pasting it in there myself. But hey, that’s just me.

The amazing thing about the internet...
If this guy asked for your personal info on the street, especially whilst yelling “WOOF,” you would call the police. On the internet, a lot of folks will give it to him.
i still think assbook
and not nec in a porn way, would be a big hit. who looks at faces anymore?

yea, this
no offense to AA, they’re just doing their due diligence to get the word out.
2009 Did Not Happen
You can decide ho much shows though.
Nothing I do here shows up on my FB page (unless I wanted it to). All I use the integration for is AA appearing in my newsfeed if a article gets posted.
Save Jenrry Mejia!
In lobby for Josh Byrnes/Chip Hale as Mets 2011 GM/Manager.
i joined!
now i can be depressed all through winter via my facebook. THANKS AA!!!!
I hate Philadelphia so much.
I actually thought I had too
maybe there’s a fake AA floating around
mediocrity thy name is Wilpon- jdon (and Billy King-Paul G B)
Actually
There’s an Amazin’ Avenue profile (i.e. user) which we created before the whole Facebook Pages thing became popular, so now we’re just pushing everything to the Facebook Page.
i heard a lot of people that believe in RBIs and oversharing are using facebook
so aren’t you afraid of hurting the brand?
