    Damn, I'm pretty sure my website which I haven't updated in almost 5 years gets more attention.

    Mostly from robots but still.

    Yee, the W59 is a great closer for the W series, much stronger than the W56 and W58 that preceded it. Lol the W58 even blew up behind stock 220hp 2JZ engines. But the R series even replaced the W59 behind the 4 banger tacos in the 2nd gens. The R150 is fine well into the 600hp range with no modifications

    Facebook page has 10X the followers and probably 10X the amount of posts.

    Most of our clients actually came off Facebook, was crazy.

    If you think about it, younger people tend to use Instagram over Facebook. The older more mature crowd I’m guessing you’re marketing towards are gonna be on Facebook.

    back in my day, you could only get a FB account if you had an .edu email address that belonged to one of the schools that were able to make an account. My ex got me an email address through her school and I made mine. That was in like 2007 or 2008 I can't remember. Crazy to think about how much FB has changed.

    My first social media was Twitter, I made the account in like April 2008. Didn’t use it for years till I got to high school.

    Around the time I graduated in 2011 everyone was saying if you weren't promoting yourself on Twitter you weren't doing enough to succeed in the business, so I tried. God help me I tried. But Twitter is the worst of them all. It's like you have to have it tied into your brain and update constantly or no one gives a shit. At least around that time, I don't think people care as much about it now, other than for some weird reason Twitter is a common source for official quotes in the news

    Yeah its really hard to get traction on twitter. Once you do though, it seems to get pretty crazy.

    It was sold but it was still active, it switched over to a music heavy promotion with a background of what it used to be for friend interactions before it fizzled out

    yeah I had one of those up until FB took over publicly and everyone switched.

    Myspace's downfall was letting people completely personalize their pages with horrible looking backgrounds and shit, was like eye vomit everywhere you looked.

    Although the dude that started it made out well when he saw the writing on the wall, I forget who he sold to but he made like 500 million and then peaced out never to be seen again basically.
