Facebook Marketing

Youtube is remarkable. During the video I learned some other aspects of using Facebook. As a matter of fact, I took the opportunity to view some of the other videos pertaining to Facebook's use. Since I'm still new at using Facebook and have not had time to thoroughly play around with it, the video was actually a way to market Facebook as a useful tool for connecting with friends, and networking as a means of not only communicating with them, but also keeping tabs on what they've been up to. Also, one of the other videos did mention that "bosses" were prohibiting their staff from using Facebook so the narrator showed some ways that it would be advantageous for its use in the business sector.

Employers want to be restrictive about letting their staff use tools like Facebook because they don't want them to waste time on the web. Technology is here and it's not going anywhere. Employers should work with their IT departments to find ways to embrace this new technology and make it work for them. Facebook has been in use for a while now and it has proven to be a powerful tool for communicating. I think employers should try to see the positives and ask "How can this techonology help our business?" It might just give them an edge over their competition. In today's economy, who wouldn't want to be ahead of the pack?
