Facebook Changes

Alma Mater Productions will be using our new facebook fanpage, located here, for all our future facebook events and not our "AMP Events" facebook group. We decided to make this change after comparing the benefits of a Fanpage vs Group for both AMP and the William & Mary Community.

A fanpage offers more ways for us to inform you of what the latest news is with AMP by placing information directly into your newsfeeds. Fanpages also allow us to pursue in the future services like txt message updates for things like rain updates so you don't need to be glued to your computer before a big concert at Lake Matoka. In addition, fanpages also allow for better management of things like photos by allowing us to use individual photo albums while a facebook group only allows for one big contiguous album. This can make it hard to find photos of yourself if we've had more than one event over the weekend (i.e. almost every weekend!) so we hope that you’ll be able to find yourself in photos easier by using a fanpage.

Unfortunately however fanpages do not allow us to send event invites out to our fans directly. We can still invite you to events on facebook if you provide us with your email however so if you still want to be automatically invited to all AMP events you need to let us know by sending an email to amp@wm.edu asking to be added to the AMP Listserve. It’s that easy because we'll take care of all the rest! So don't miss out on these new ways to be informed about AMP Events, join our fanpage and subscribe to our listserve!
