Why Facebook

by Melanie Brown

So, you think because your teenage children are using Facebook, it can't be useful for you or your company?  Well…you're wrong.  The social networking site boasts nearly 500 million members.  Those members aren't just teenagers, they are users of every age from around the world.  Facebook is no longer just used for “poking” friends and playing Farmville.  Facebook has become the quickest way to get news.  From the play by play of the World Cup to the Gulf Oil Spill, Facebook seems to be the source people turn to, not only to relay news, but to also retrieve news.  And it's not just news.  Facebook users seek advice and answers about consumer products, movie reviews, restaurant choices and entertainment venues.   People are using Facebook just like they would any search engine, to find information they need about a product or company they are interested in.  Do you have a Facebook page?  Are you accessible for those potential clients who could be seeking out information on your company?  What are you waiting for?
