Guitar Hero + Facebook = Awesome


Social networking is one of the hottest things on the internet right now.  Seemingly everyone has a Facebook page, or a Myspace page or a twitter account.  A number of people strive to have as many friends on those services as they can and that even extends to the world of video games.  A number of characters have Facebook pages or Twitter accounts where you can follow them and find out what's going on in their virtual worlds.  It's been a huge tool of advertising for a number of game companies, and Activision is included with that.

The Guitar Hero franchise has a Facebook page and Activision was pleased to announce today that the Guitar Hero Facebook page is the first game specific page to have one million fans. In a press release today they announced the historic feat as well as Guitar Hero having more than 38 million sales world wide. 

They tout the Facebook page as a place where fans can go to discuss their favorite artists and songs featured in the Guitar Hero franchise.  Fans can also get the latest information in the goings on with Guitar Hero, exclusive news and content not available anywhere else and share their favorite Guitar Hero experiences. 

Are you one of the more than a million fans of Guitar Hero on Facebook?  If so let us know if you use that service and what you've gotten from it.

I use Facebook; but rarely do I include myself as a fan of anything, otherwise my feed gets filled with spammy junk. There are a few exceptions like LostWinds and Fallout 3, but that's because they update with articles and such rather than ads.

I'm a fan of two things on Facebook, my brother's band, and LostWinds (because of the articles as well).

I generally only use facebook to talk to people from the site and old high school friends. And even then I don't check facebook that often.
