Why Facebook?
It’s Simple Really,
• If Facebook Business Pages appear on Google (they do).• If Users spend more time on Facebook than anywhere else than on the
web (they do).• If Facebook users can be targeted by their habits and interests (they
can).• If Facebook users can share information with their friends (they can).
Facebook is a Land Grab and It’s Time to Buy In.
