Who use the Facebook?

[dru]

I use facebook rarely, even though everyone my age is using it like crazy - I just find it a huge waste of time. It's been good to find people that you haven't seen in a long time but other than that it's just letting people find out too much personal information about yourself! So many people live their lives on facebook! I'ld rather be on a forum any day and actually find out something new that could be useful!

What he said.
I'm interested in things like dubaddiction etc, but facebook isn't where i would 'hear' about them. People are generally only into their own little things and friends in their own little cyber-social cliques in my experience, and no-one is necessarily going to find your business on facebook among the other gazillion ads or whatever on there unless they google it, but then they'll find your details anyway.

I've used it to promote my gigs but people forget coz they are constantly bombarded by advertising/promotion sensory overload! The ads just disappear in the sea of promo-media.

I think its also partially true that its a marketing tool that marketers are into because it pays their wages! Its like the marketing people themselves are the only ones paying any attention to the, um, marketing.
It's a bit like the Jazz scene. It really only interests jazz muso's coz they are the only ones who 'get it' and seek it out...

2c spent.

What is wrong with businesses taking to facebook?
Its just the same as any other marketing tool.

We now have a Dub Addiction facebook page and its an excellent way to deliver news and information to customers who choose to "like" us. It is also great for customers to ask questions/interact/share their appreciation.

I dont see a problem at all with direct marketing to customers who choose to follow it? Its just the same as signing up for a newsletter when you register on a website. You can opt in or out.

I dont buy people not being able to take responsibility for their own choices. If youre one of those suckers that watches daytime TV and purchases the latest amazing fitness machine.. welll then I think there is a fundamental problem here and as the saying goes. "A fool and their money are easily parted."

Totally agree, Tim.

My TPR Engineering page, like yours, i find an excellent marketing tool. Best thing is that it's free and targets only the people that are interested.
