that is the question... Technology is totally changing the ways of everyday things. Here's the timeline of events that I've taken part with and can recall. 1st e-mail, you sent messages to one another from home just so you were keeping up with every one's happenings, than came messengers. E-mail that was so much faster, you got it reply and it's a non stop back and forth process that you can do with numerous people, or even with however many in one window! yay! Everyone was on them until the wee hours of the night or until you parents were screaming at you to get to bed, because they were tired of hearing the click, click, click of the key board as they tried to sleep.
Than came profile pages and than the leaving quick messages to your friends just so they know you're thinking of them, blogs and other posts for you to let everyone know what you are doing or to promote an exciting event in you life. And now there's message boards along with messenger and these messages not only being posted on the "wall" but than being forwarded to our cell phones, pagers, and whatever else now a days! I can't even keep up!!!!!
But getting down to our initial question.... Facebook. A once college bound or more so University bound site, that opened up to all college students, than high schoolers, than to anyone who can access an e-mail address. So now open to the entire public, nation, world? Our question is should we use this program/interface to promote our work/company. WHY NOT! can you think of any other faster, easier, cheaper way to advertise? Facebook is FREE, what you put out for the public to see is totally under your control. How you title your Facebook, the groups you make or join help your image. Sometimes I feel, if I don't keep up with this new fad or technology world that seems to be adored by so many, I will be lost in the dust. I already get that feeling at times, like having Scott Wild speak to you of all that he has researched and has done for himself with in the blogs and posts and etc etc... the list goes on and on and is yet even growing longer today! You got to start somewhere, and I feel Facebook is just one of the many little programs to get your feet wet, try it out see what difference it could make on you and your sales or whatever you're trying to get out to the people. It's all about the NETWORKING people. Facebook is just a HUGE web of networking, it shows you right on there how you're connected to another through (whom ever). But you'll never totally understand the words I've typed out until you try it! Yeah it might all sound just dandy and bla bla, but until you see the actual connections and quickness of finding the who you know and not what you know kind of experience, you will never totally understand the excitement of the modern day technologies that are building and free for us today, but once the trends are static it makes me wonder if one day we'll start having to pay for these great convinces. So test all them out now and see what it is that you like about them and which one will be the one to help you succeed with your work and business.
Facebook, some use it for their daily creeping, but if you really think into it you can do soooo much to promote yourself in a professional and profitable way. It's just awesome!
