my topic keeps changing but i think Ive zoned into what i am really interesting in in regards to online social networking. The past two days Ive been researching some aspects of facebook and twitter, and even myspace and how businesses can use these to their advantages to get mass attention with their new products. Today i was looking online and their is actually an online course you can take through facebook to learn how to create fan-pages, groups, and show to use facebook and twitter for promotional needs. Not to long ago the founders and marketing unit of facebook held a seminar in front of a select few companies to promotes the use of their online network for promotional needs. not to mention they have recently developed sites that have a number of instructions for companies to aid in the use of online social networks for business. truly interesting and has definitely caught my attention the past 4 days!

I thought it was very interesting that facebook offers classes on how to use it! This could be some interesting type of information to use in your project. How many other social networking sites offer classes? Do compainies offer classes for their employees?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great research idea! You might consider finding various "big name" companies that have fan pages and Groups on Facebook or that have their very own MySpace pages. The Web sites you found on instructions for companies to use social networks seem to be good ways to gain information on how they go about getting their names to the masses via Internet. You might compare Facebook to Twitter with the idea that going to Twitter is an automatic thing for updates, and going to a Facebook page for updates is less instant, as a person needs to sign into Facebook, go to the page and then search through various things to find content. Do companies allow comment on their Twitter? It might be something to look into.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
