Facebooks Impact on Networking
When I consider Facebook’s impact on business networking and business networking groups, I realize that there are very few people that understand what “professional business networking” is all about.
Most people feel that networking is advertising, selling, promoting and pimping whatever it is that they are selling. Now with Facebook’s inter-connectivity with other social media sites the selling is done automatically hoping that someone will be interested enough to click through to your sales page and sales site and buy.
Facebook and Twitter are the t on-line equivalent of the the tabloids in the Super Market Checkout line.
Facebook’s impact is so large that it can not be ignored and I am building my “friends” base are quickly as I can before it implodes. Every time that I log onto my accounts and see that my “network of friends and followers” is growing and try to read what’s been posted on my wall, I’m reminded of the “Super Market Checkout line” and the headlines and pictures from National Enquirer, Star, People, etc. Everything to get my attention so that I may be compelled to buy what is being sold.
The bottom line is that Facebook’s Impact on Networking to reinforce the notion that “Networking is Selling” and everyone knows that selling is a numbers game, so in my humble opinion, the Facebooks of the world should be called Social Sales Sites instead of Social Networking Sites.
