Sometimes I wonder what the point of having a blog site is when one could just have a blog page on Facebook. Some Realtors are starting to have both. It's becoming more apparant that Facebook is the #1 "go-to" site for communiction.
Here are some interesting stats for Facebook:
- Facebook has 400 million users logged on daily.
- People spend 500 billion minutes per month on Facebook.
- The average user is connected to 60 pages, groups, and events.
And one that I thought was very interesting...
- Only 30% of Facebook users are in the United States!
So with all this activity on Facebook, shouldn't we be using it as our main platform of communication? So far, only about 250,000 websites have integrated with the Facebook platform.
It's sort of a catch - 22, because Facebook is obviosly the way to reach people, but do we want to be so reliant on Facebook as the only source of getting information out? Maybe that is giving a lot of control to one platform. Please share your thoughts!

I'm going to create a fan page for Sandi Siegel Design? Will you be our first fan?
ReplyDeleteJust finished my blog over the weekend Lisa. One reason is Facebook is constantly changing. A facebook fan page as we know it today may suddenly change. What if they decide to drop your fan page, and it has happened! Our goal should be to ask our fans to opt in on our blog with their email address. My blog is TechSavvyCanuckRealtor and my fan page is the same.
