Eric, the numbers on Facebook are absolutely astounding. It continues to amaze me to hear from people who say they just don’t have time for it, and I’m also amazed by the number of companies that block it entirely. (Perhaps those numbers need to be included in with the 350M from China…)

Two comments here:

1) The realtor makes a point to say that he’s not using Facebook to post listings, but rather to build relationships with his clients. The multifamily industry talks a lot about building community, so sites like Facebook should be a natural extension of those community-building activities. Not sure we’re there yet, but it would seem that the two go together well.

2) I always hesitate to talk specifically about a “Facebook strategy” or a “Twitter strategy,” as these sites are fleeting and may not be the best places to be in 12-24 months. MySpace is an example referenced often. I know you’ve seen some of this in your own business. Instead, I’d rather see companies focus on a comprehensive, community-building (and brand-building) strategy that incorporates sites like Facebook, Twitter and local blogs, as well as their own blog(s) and website(s). It’s important to know what to do on Facebook once you’re there, but I don’t think that constitutes a business strategy in itself. ... See all content Hide content
