10e20: Does My CEO Really Need a Facebook Profile?

  • Nate Nead · 1 year ago
    These days, it would certainly be very foolish not to somehow get involved in social networking. Doing it all may nearly be impossible (getting to every social network site). However, Facebook to me seems a necessity.

    As large social networking websites such as MySpace and Facebook have grown in size and are widely reputed to be worth billions of dollars, many smaller websites have taken the plunge into social networking or Web 2.0 technologies that utilize user-generated content. This trend represents an entrepreneurial opportunity for the intrepid web developer.

    I agree with Nate, it's almost a no-brainer to at least be involved at some level. Not only for the customer engagement and such -- online reputation management (at all levels of a corporation) requires active participation.

    Great post!

    Good post. I think it's critical for all businesses to understand and take part in the social media sphere. Having access to the information freely available through the Internet can only increase the performance of a company when used wisely.

    It's time to join the conversation.

    While everyone should be involved in social mediums to some degree, they must be picky about what they choose to be involved with. LinkedIn may be a better option than Facebook for many as some are simply targeted to more "immature" audiences and are a bit too personal for certain types.

    Some really good advice here. I think it really does boil down to having a plan that acts as a foundation to identifying the right social media and communications tools best suits for the individual business concern. But sure thing, if the customers are there (and truth be told, sometimes they're not), so should the business.

    I know I should, heck, even my 14 year old daughter has a Facebook profile.

    My brother in the US has asked me twice to set one up so he can add me as a friend or whatever - so what's stopping me?

    Nothing... You've convinced me - I'm off to set one up now...

    It's a necessity for every business owner to get involved in social networking. That's where one can create a buzz and loyal following, amongst other benefits. But it's time-consuming.
