I don’t listen to Radio 1 very much now (not live at least, although I download a few of their podcasts) but I’m not so sure they’ve got the hang of this Facebook thing yet...
If I’m honest I’m not entirely sure why the Webbists at Radio 1 feel it’s necessary to pick an arbitrary gig to promote on Facebook: surely that’s the Kings of Leon’s responsibility? But the biggest irritant is their apparent need to notify me for every Radio 1 page I become a “fan” of.
What’s more irritating (which is Facebook’s problem) is that I can’t mark a specific update as spam. I don’t mind receiving updates Chris Moyles’ or Scott Mills’ shows as I quite like them, but I don’t want to receive the same thing three (or more) times.
It gets worse though, as both shows have had events in the past two weeks that should have, but weren’t broadcast as updates.
It’s not a big thing I know, but what is the point of having a presence on a social network you don’t understand if you’re not going to engage with it.
