Chris and Nils –

Thanks for leaving comments on this post. Yes, a Facebook fan page can be an important part of an outreach program.

I have really been surprised in the past month as I have picked up almost as many fans to my Facebook business page as I have to my ning site it promotes! Facebook is a great place to find some folks you might not otherwise reach.

It looks like the TBB Facebook Fan Page is going to need a change in this regard. I guess we’ll have to start from scratch! But this is good to know Phyllis!

Doug –

Facebook as “a major place where people search for information” as you pointed out is going to become even more important as Facebook continues to grow. The sooner we take advantage of this opportunity the farther ahead we’ll be.

Rhona –

People need to understand that the title of a Facebook fan page has one purpose — to help people and search engines find your page. If your name is NOT something that people will search on, then your name doesn’t need to be in the title of your Facebook fan page.

On a somewhat related subject, I just wrote the blog post “Why People Are Wedded to Their Websites” — see http://budurl.com/wedded — when I finally realized why people would rather keep ineffective websites than get new effective ones.

Couldn’t agree more. The hardest thing in naming a company is to convince an owner not to name the business after him or herself. The hardest thing in naming a Facebook page is convincing an owner not to name it after the company. We get so attached to our names, even if they are the name of the business.
