Fast-Moving Facebook Flair
For a while now I've had two pieces of ranked Facebook "flair": "Team Spike" is now at #95,465 (923 users) and "Team Willow" is at #437,387 (73 users).
End of last week I made a piece of "Ya Think DiNozzo?" flair, celebrating my favorite NCIS line. As of this morning it was at #406,528 (80 users -- it's now up to 97).
It surprises me some of the things that haven't been made into flair on Facebook. For instance the Team Spike (playing off the Twilight vamps with the Buffy characters) and the DiNozzo thing.
Some of my flairs haven't been so successful, though. My "Faith Manages" flair -- Babylon 5 buzzphrase -- is only at 18 users. My Joe Bob Briggs (only one in Facebook) is stalled at 2. Still, seeing what takes off and what doesn't is half the fun. (OK, seeing-what-doesn't is maybe a tenth of the the fun.)
Not to be left out of any fraction of the fun, Phil has created his own piece of flair (keywords: Rookie, crash). Enjoy.

Fun with Flair
Over the Christmas break I finally spent some time on Facebook, updating my status every day or two, chatting occasionally with friends (though we usually switched over to GMail chat), and messing about with flair (little buttons with fun sayings and/or pictures). Even made some of my own flair. So far the most popular is Team Spike (I made "Team" flair for all the major Buffy the Vampire Slayer vampires -- including the short-lived Vamp Willow -- to go old-school on all the Twilight groupies).
Right now I'm without Photoshop on the MacBook, so I grabbed pix off Google Images and manipulated them using FotoFlexor online before uploading them Facebook.
Thus far I've made seven pieces to "express myself" -- far short of the requisite 37 pieces, though I do have another 27 pieces on my profile page. (Only four more and Stan, the Chotchkie's manager, will quit nag-nag-naggin me...)
