For the insurance agent or financial planner, LinkedIn is probably the best choice. For a restaurant trying to build buzz and loyalty or real estate agent trying to connect with clients on a more personal level, Facebook does a wonderful job. These are just some examples, you get the point I'm sure. Even if you are using LinkedIn professionally, Facebook can be a great way to reconnect with friends and stay connected with them. Friends are great resources for referrals as well. Hi Tony, Facebook's value definitely depends on the product or profession.

Is it really driving business for the customer? is it building loyalty? Are serious people really using it to find resources or products?<br /><br />I have avoided facebook for all those reasons. No one has showm me that it will drive business to have a presence there.<br /><br />For a product seeking to become a cultural phenomenon - sure. For a serious professional? A bit like having an AOL or GOOGLE address for your e:mail. It is hard to take them seriously. I prefer linked in for business networking. Hey – so why facebook at all?

But, Facebook is not exactly the easiest platform to navigate. The only info I get from the HELP section is below. My opinion is if they are not your "friends" they do no get to see personal info. If you find out otherwise, please let me know.<br /><br />FACEBOOK: As a Page Admin you can select who is able to search for and fan your Page. In the ‘Settings’ section you can choose the age of the users that your content is suitable for. You can also restrict your Page to users in certain countries, including the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Lastly, you can select which applications on your Page users are able to add their own content to. Hi Lynne,
