Why I Won't Adopt Facebook's Pages Model

November 8th, 2007

Yesterday, Facebook released a new ‘feature’ on it’s social network dubbed ‘Pages’. After checking it out, and creating my own page I realized it was directly for marketing, probably to compete with Google AdWords and other such inventions.

Here’s the stitch, I already have a group on Facebook for my business with near 200 subscribed members. Do I really want to start over from scratch with a ‘Page’ that people can become a ‘fan’ of. No, I’m not in the least bit interested. In fact, I’m downright confused. What is the relevance of Groups at this point?

After reading a terrific article on TechCrunch what I already believed to be true was amplified, and I’m quickly losing interest in using Facebook as a method of marketing.

Good luck with your cash grab, FB!

The US dollar is still on it’s greatest decline since the civil war, here’s a nice little extra that xe.com through up on their site:

Currency graph explicitly stating Canadian dollar worth more

Yup, they have to define what’s going on with a big question mark, possibly because a few fellow Canadians are actually stumped by the fact that our dollar is worth MORE than the Americano.
