This is an open letter to other Twilight Site ops who use Facebook and anyone in general who uses Facebook fanpages. The recent changes to the Facebook fan pages ( they are currently an optional upgrade but eventually everyone will be upgraded to this new version on March 10) have two HUGE problems with them as far as we see and perhaps others depending on your point of view. If you are having issues like we are, Facebook needs to hear you! People who run not-for-profit sites, educational institutions sites, band sites, sites like ours are up in arms. You can see the post and complaints here that are roughly 2,500 and growing. Putting this under a cut because it’s a long one!
Let Edward or Jacob Take Over Your Facebook Profile!
It looks like the Team Edward or Team Jacob debate has hit Facebook! AfterTheBite.com has detailed instructions on how you can show your love for either Edward or Jacob on Facebook by doing what they are calling the “Edward profile hack” or the “Jacob profile hack”. You download the images they provide and upload them into a Facebook album. You have to tag the photos in the order they are given to you for it to work, so be aware that it might take a little time. It also only works if you’ve changed over your home page to the new layout, so if you prefer the old style this isn’t for you. But given that the Edward/Jacob battle still rages on we think there were soon be many facebook pages hacked by the Vampire or Werewolf!

Thanks to Matt for the tip.
Facepunch Trailer Winners!
We had tons of entries for this contest and deciding was really hard. All we can say is a lot of you have friends and family who are really good sports about being fake sucker-punched. We were laughing our heads off at everything from montages of re-cut Buffy episodes to live action running all over town. In the end there were three that stood out.
First Place!
Second place!
Third Place!
Winners check your inboxes for an email on how to receive your prize of autographed New Moon merchandise.
We’d also like to recognize these two honorable mentions:
Twilight Lexicon Now On Facebook
Da da da dah…(best we can do on a fanfare)…presenting the Twilight Lexicon Facebook fanpage. A bunch of you have been asking and with some of the new features Facebook now has, we started one. A HUGE thank you to Be My Escape who has been busy setting it up for us.
Like Twitter, it will have a post whenever we have a new blog post. We’ll also use it to keep you updated on events that we are attending, to share videos, and to share photos. And who knows, probably a few other things that we haven’t thought of yet.
Gil Birmingham on Facebook
Gil Birmingham’s management just got in touch to tell us that he launched a Facebook site. We know this will come as a wild surprise, but there are actually other fake site’s out there. So if you want official Gil information, this is where you want to go.
Also, speaking of Gil, Twilighters Anonymous has a new interview with Gill up.
TA.com: Can you tell us what it was like filming New Moon?
GB: New Moon was a tremendous experience for me. It was great to be back working with Rob, Kristen, Taylor and the rest of the cast. With the addition of the werewolf clan cast members, the energy on the set was at a whole new level. Filming New Moon, like Twilight, wasn’t easy. We spent long hours on location, in cold damp weather, sometimes well into the morning. What impressed me the most was the many dedicated fans who camped out in the cold all night while we were on location. They were really amazing!
Check it all out on TA.
