Howdy!

First off, no longer do you have to type http://www.facebook.com/we89rf-gobbly-gook-477-better-than-the-machine-39u9-random-letters-and-numbers-matt-gallo-rules to reach our Facebook fan page! Now you can find us at the much simpler and easy to remember facebook.com/BetterThanTheMachine.

Second, we are working diligently to make it even easier for you to reach our Facebook fan page, but the technology to read the brain patterns of our fans just isn’t safe enough to use on fans yet. We set Carlos on fire three times last week while trying to get thought-based navigation to our Facebook fan page to work, and you can rest assured that we’ll keep lighting Carlos on fire until we find a way for you to get to our Facebook fan page simply by thinking “I love Better Than The Machine,” whether or not lighting Carlos on fire and thought-based web surfing are related or not.

Finally, we’d just like to remind you what it means to be a Facebook fan of Better Than The Machine: you get weekly updates about our latest videos and shows in your Facebook inbox, you can post your own wacky videos for other BTTM fans to see (they don’t even need to be wacky!), you can talk to other fans, you can fight other fans, you will receive our monthly magazine Better Than Time Magazine: The Official Better Than The Machine Fanzine* and soon you’ll be able to win actual prizes! Maybe even Official Better Than The Machine Fan Club decoder rings (not likely)! Or cards with your name and member id number on them (more likely)!

So what are you even waiting for? Sign up today and start doing all that stuff I just listed.

*Better Than Time Magazine is on a temporary publishing hiatus pending the outcome of a totally unrelated libel lawsuit with Time Warner, and also unrelated, upon finding the editor of our magazine, who was last seen in Costa Rica carrying two large sacks with dollar symbols on them.

You asked, and we answered! If you like a particular video we put out, it’s easier than ever to tell the whole world with the new buttons at the bottom of all bttm.net posts. These buttons let you share our videos across a multitude of sites. We’ve also got a new Twitter and a new Facebook Fan Page specifically for fans of The Machine to show off their support, to give input and, of course, to help others not let the machine get them down.

We really appreciate all of your support and all of the requests for this kind of stuff! We’ll be tweaking everything over the next few days, but it’s all fully functional right now, so jump in!
