Yes to looking for old friend ... and their update, but not for everday wathing & commenting their status ...
I think facebook could probably be good for advertising; however, I use it as a social network and chat site. I have reconnected with so many old friends whom I have lost contact with over the years and I love it for that. I am a facebook junkie (mainly for talking to friends) Never used for internet marketing or playing games (although I do some quizzes from time to time) mainly to connect with people
Facebook is one of the best way to remain in contact with family and friends because in today's fast life no one has time ti meet them personally.
its a money earning machine been developed with great applications wch make users addictde to it...also it promotes many things...al n al just money is the motive...m myself a member of facebook n quite addicted to it.. its betr than other networking sites...
Facebook is the best social marketing site, no doubt in it. many people use it for offical use and some other for bussiness purposes .
Of-course it is very useful for business and especially for site promotion no doubt. You have any doubt?
I think facebook is good for keeping in touch with family and friends. I've never seen it help anyone business-wise... and those who try too hard just make themselves look like a pest. As far as their ppc engine... I hear it's far from perfect and yields poor results.
I still think too that this is the best social networking site for me considering that I like playing farmville at the same time I gain many friends from it
It's useful if you are wanting to waste many hours of pointless messaging that could be better spent socialising in the real world.
