Is it just me? I feel we're on the verge of seeing a change in how business is done globally with more transparency, and Facebook will be a key part of it ... as long as it doesn't become "MyFace" or "Spacebook" :) Her point about how business is all about people really struck me.

I agree with Jennifer - Facebook rocks for business purposes. I've never had much success myself with MySpace (makes my head hurt with the visual noise and spammyness over there) or LinkedIn (too stuffy and "flat" and no pics). However, on Facebook there's a special rapport between members. We can check out someone's profile pic and read a bunch of personal info they've willingly shared... and find all kinds of commonalities over which to relate. I believe it's not time=money, it's relationships=money and Facebook makes it extremely easy to build relationships with quality professionals. Cheers, Mari Yes!

But, we want to connect that to the public Facebook. In December, I am running a few workshops similar to what you describe above for the business, under the heading; "Imagine if...." We are in the Financial Advice business where our agents consult with clients and service their financial needs with appropriate products. Facebook is not only useful in that space, but also for agents to keep in touch with one another and to connect back with the business. The Facebook Ads can also assist with targeted marketing and word of mouth referrals between Facebook friends.

That was sort of the point of the interview. Even if you never touch an application, facebook has great business value. Keeping those connections and staying in touch is very easy with facebook. An efficient way to stay connected and communicate is what facebook does very well at it's core. Thanks Gordon. That was sort of the point of the interview.
