    similar to the Twitter thread, please put Facebook pages of app devs in here.

    I'll go first -

    Headcase Games Facebook Page

    As noted in the Twitter thread, we are a few days shy of submission for our first app! In the meantime, we promote our brand by doing features like Retrogame of the Day (this feature is posted through on our Facebook page as well.)

    Show us what you've got, gang!

    -Ron

    Hello fellow iPhone developers!

    I was going to start a new thread to see how many iPhone game developers have created a Facebook page (not a personal profile) to present their games, but it seems Ron of Headcase Games already started one ;-).

    While working on our Facebook page I found that beside getting fans, they are a nice feature that we can use to help each other and its the "Add to my Page's Favorites". We could then link each other this way, so if one of us got some visitors who are interested in iPhone games they might also be interested to see more. So why not point them to other fellow developers? In the similar fashion where people discover other people to follow on Twitter.

    So I was thinking it would be great to compile a list of all the Facebook pages that promote an iPhone game project and become fan of each others and add each other's pages.

    Ill start the list with ours ;-).

    It still under construction, we have added some secret profile of our team members and some music from our resident musician ;-). More stuff about our iPhone project will be posted there, hopefully soon!

    I also hope other people will contribute to that list.

    Below here ill be adding people iPhone game developers page that I will found or that people post on this thread (unless Ron want to take the jobs of doing it in the first/starting post ;-)).

    ==============================================

    FAQ

    How do I create a page for my game?
    Start here http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

    I made my page, didn't publish it - how do I find it?
    Go to your profile, choose Info, and See All against pages... your unpublished page will be there.

    Is is safe to become a fan?

    Becoming a fan of a page doesn't give the owners of the page any information about you other than what is public on Facebook - your name, profile photo and mutual friends. Unless you have made other things public. Applications on the other hand get access to everything - thats why you have to agree before you add them

    How do I get a vanity URL like http://www.facebook.com/iphoneflowergarden ?
    You need 25 fans. Then go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ and choose 'set a username for your project'

    Added a little FAQ about how to use Facebook pages for your games and/or development company.

    If you know of other Facebook pages from iPhone devs/games that aren't listed there, please let me know and I will add them to the list.

    Thanks for your collaboration in advance.

    Great idea for a thread! I hope developers continue to add to the list, since it would be great to be able to refer to it. Maybe if becomes popular enough, it will be a "sticky!"

    Tootle's Facebook pages

    Howdy chaps and chapesses!

    Here are Tootle's Facebook pages for the record.

    Tootle: http://www.facebook.com/TootleGames
    Seaman Count: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Seaman-Count/82440531886?ref=ts
    Snow Way To Draw: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Snow-Way-To-Draw/57142793403?ref=ts

    We also have a group (http://www.facebook.com/TootleGames#/group.php?gid=52611963472&ref=ts) but we don't update that so much anymore as the pages seem to be a lot more flexible content-wise.

    Enjoy! :)

    Thanks everyone!

    Ive update the main post with the latest Facebook pages, also a quick reminder to all of you :

    How do I get a vanity URL like http://www.facebook.com/iphoneflowergarden ?
    You need 25 fans. Then go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ and choose 'set a username for your project'

    And I saw several of you that have more than 25 fans and should be able to get the vanity URL.

    For the rest of us well we can help each other by becoming fans, I know I did I became fan of all the pages I posted in the list :D.

    @Lukeca

    Ok I've update your link and thank for becoming our fan I did too ;-). So now you have a more easy url to spread around instead of the pages/blahblah/129329493.
