It’s just not clear to me yet that it’s a huge win to list your business on Facebook. OK, you have a profile – big deal. How is that better than Linked In? Oh, and unlike my business LinkedIn account, I couldn’t list my business under its name in Facebook – I had to use my own name, which I thought defeated the whole purpose. And don’t get me started on the goofy personal-ad type features that make Facebook seem like a dating site. Looking for a relationship? No – I’m looking for clients!
People seem split on this issue; you can see what others think here and here. But I’m not convinced.
Update 11/14/07: Facebook is now allowing businesses to create their own pages:
