Some facebook facts...
Facebook is a very popular social network with 500 million people around the world registered as active users. On any given day (according to facebook stats), 50% of these users are logged into their account, and over a 1 month period these same people spend up to 700,000,000,000 (700 billion) minutes on facebook. On average, facebook users have 130 friends.
Having such a large number of friends may sound a little incredulous to some. However, "friends" on facebook, can include not only close friends, but also friends of friends, long lost friends, facebook only friends, fan friends and even "like this" friends. The choice of friend type depending on each person's individual preferences.
Exploring facebook opportunities
Free to use, you have the opportunity to get involved and experiment with the features facebook offers. If you've been having trouble scheduling in time to write articles for your website or blog, you may find facebook easier to work with. Brief paragraph updates, with notes or links to your website pages can be very effective.
You can also reach your target audience with facebook advertising, selecting your audience by location, age and interests. Facebook's "insights reports" record how many users and how much user interactivity your facebook page has generated in real-time.
Plus with facebook's social plug-ins you can place facebook buttons on your business website. This allows visitors who have a facebook account, to like your page and spread the word through their own personal networks.
On that note Go Man Go are pleased to announce that we have finally published our own Go Man Go facebook business page. After recommending facebook to all our clients we thought it was high time we started our own page. So feel free to like our page and make sure you leave your facebook business page links on our wall. Together let's make the last month of spring really count!
Cheers
