[Jud2003]

I've been hearing so much about how Facebook is great for businesses--any concrete examples so I don't waste my time?

Building fans on your page is an excellent way to generate sales leads.

[Sara220]

yes, building a fan base is excellent for keeping a large group connected to important updates for your business.

Nice post. It's interesting how these huge sites seem to get greedy so quickly when their audience soars.

well, it sucks that the users aren't taking a stand against being treated like that.

[ForGreaterIntelligence]

Too true! Without all of us users, they'd be losers!

[PotsNPans]

I had no idea they were getting rid of "become a fan." There's obviously a big degree of difference between liking something and being a fan, and facebook should reflect that.

I'd like to take a stand, but what do you think is the best way for a user to take a stand?

and here's more on The newest changes to facebook

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, last week published an article on the Washington Post where he replies to concerns and the huge backlash over Facebook privacy laws that have come around...

His response is making really simple buttons and options on the facebook privacy dashboard.

Is this enough?
