Thanks for the notes on using groups, and also the discussion on using FB in conjunction with other tools. With finesse and practice, FB becomes the perfect tool where businesses (and the business owners) can speak from both personal and professional viewpoints.

Shama: I haven’t read it yet. I have to get it first!

Mary Grace: You are right on the money. It is about quality, not the quantity.

Btw, adding friends just for the sake of increasing the number defeats the purpose of being social. If you just care for numbers, I don’t think you could still care to interact.

Shama, thanks for the mention. I love your previous interview. I will still have to listen to this one!

Hey Guys,

So glad you enjoyed this one!

Bianca – You are right. MySpace still has a good pool of teenagers.

Amanda – Don’t let it overwhelm you. Just pick one or two tactics and apply them!

Heather- Absolutely! FB is totally appropriate. Like Grace mentioned, you have control over the image you project. And it is okay to below to a “I love puppies” group. FB is great for letting your personality shine through. After all, people do business with people they like!

Martin – A mix is a great idea. Most social media tools have their particular advantages. I haven’t read Steven’s book. I take it that it is good? = )

I think you should a have a mix of different social media tools. The thing is that I could see patterns that the different sites are copying each other. Take for example, “what are you doing right now?” prompt in Twitter. Now you could write similar status message on Facebook and LinkedIn. I use Facebook to connect with old friends, keeping in touch with people and finding new individuals interested in a rational philosophy.

Shama Hyder: Have you read Steven Tylock’s The LinkedIn Personal Trainer book?

Hi Heather, I believe it can be. I listened to Shama’s previous interview about facebook and one thing she really emphasized is building relationship. Tainting a professional image in facebook is controlled by you and your connections.

She even sighted one interesting fact about facebook — that facebook is “best in mids” than other social media sites. Say for example MySpace and LinkedIn. MySpace is too personal and on the other hand, LinkedIn is too professional. What Facebook does is, that it combines the best of the two.

Do you think FACEBOOK is appropriate for a professional business. Sure I have joined up on the facebook page with the ‘puppy training school’ but I offer professional services – I am an accounting consultant to small businesses – will FACEBOOK taint a professional image?

Using the Twitter application in facebook somehow annoys me because it feels like reading really in an “off style” manner. Well, I would spend time listening to this interview so I will learn what Shama has to say about this.

I picked up a lot of helpful tips in this interview. Now, all I have to do is apply them.

Currently, one quarter of members are 35 and over and teenagers only account for about 12% of facebook members. -> I believe most of the teenagers still find myspace and friendster hit for them.
