Use email less and Facebook more

Facebook consists of a diverse metropolis of individuals that connect with each other through their web devices. Individuals set up pages, provide information about themselves and post messages for their “friends” to see.  Their “friends” consist of individuals who they have agreed to share correspondence with. So what happens to those who are uninvited? They can’t be a part of your group of friends. So you never have to hear from them! Think how frustrating this is for the junk mailers. More people today are turning their online communication over to services like Facebook. And they are screening out people they do not want to hear from.

One of the Email Replacement Tools

We have used email for a wide variety of things. One of those has been to send out announcements to our groups of friends. Today, Facebook performs this chore with incredible ease. You don’t need to send a message to each of your contacts. You just post it on your wall. Your friends will receive a copy of your posting in their “news feeds” page. And mobile devices, like my iPhone, can be set up to receive these postings. You can also communicate with your friends individually.

Businesses – Start Connecting with Facebook!

Businesses need to get their pages set up right away. Businesses and individuals carry different types of accounts on Facebook. While individuals develop contacts called “friends”, businesses develop contacts called “fans”. Businesses need to set up pages that provide some sort of value to customers and potential customers. They may use Facebook to post service information. They may offer discounts or special offers from their page. This will encourage individuals to become “fans” of their Facebook site. Their fans can post messages that will appear in the company’s Facebook wall. And businesses can post messages that fans of the site can see.

Facebook is a valuable tool for businesses today. And it will become more valuable over time. Businesses can use the service to communicate with staff, to market goods and services, and to provide customer service. Keep an eye on this blog site for examples how businesses use Facebook.
