I sort of figured it out as I went, but I do pretty much everything that way. :-

We might make 40,000 by the time Jesus returns.

It's actually good marketing. It hypes people up to share their page with friends with a nice incentive. The more likes a business or organization can get, the more they are able to impact. In AIO's case, they will be able to communicate with more fans via social media.

And I think they could get to at least 10,000.

By the way, both of my posts in this thread are joking. Apparently sarcasm from anyone other than Top isn’t allowed.

I'm amazed that everybody on here are such pessimists. :noway: I mean, free episodes! The explosive conclusion of the GRC!! \:D/ It can't get better than that!

Actually, I believe you don't have high speed internet (correct me if I'm wrong). And you can't download big files, especially albums, when you don't have fast enough internet. I have downloaded Album 53 (I bought the CDs too) and all the free episodes they have had on there. And upgrades are coming to the CBD download program. It's just a matter of when.

Also, it sounds like they will have the free eps on the FOTF server, not CBD so the Canadian fans can get it. I don't know that for sure though.

Actually, in the newest official podcast, Bob and Jesse encouraged everybody who had facebook accounts to friend AIO on facebook. They then said that those who are too young to have facebook accounts should encourage their older siblings and parents to friend AIO on facebook. So no they are not encouraging that behavior.

Once again, I was being sarcastic. But to respond:
That doesn’t mean people won’t do it. And if they do it because of this, then indirectly yes they are.

It's not uncommon to have second account. I know a good number of people with 2 accounts. Myself included.

Note: Careful creating second accounts on Facebook, guys. It's against the rules and can get you banned entirely from Facebook.

Well if you have a podcast or an organization it is helpful, I think what Bren means is he has his personal one and and one for the WE podcast.

Oh, right. I thought he was meaning two personal ones. You can make a podcast page (or whatever else you might want a page for) through your main account though. So two aren't really necessary.
