depending on the business there are other elements to take into consideration. since a user can have a personal profile, a facebook group or a facebook fan page, it would behoove the small business owner to figure out how they may integrate all or part of them. facebook targeted ads can also help. we’ve had success putting ads for clients, but again it all depends on what you’re selling.

@bainzy–Definitely, it may be something else instead this time next year. I think we’ve learned that from MySpace and others.

@Chang–Yes, as pointless as most of them are, the apps on Facebook have made all the difference.

Bainzy, agreed. The human mind is always looking for the next best thing. We are always looking for the “what can you do for me in the next nano-second” factor with any technology. It was only 3 years ago that MySpace was at its peak, and 3 years before that Friendster. Now, MySpace has had to lay off people and Friendster has had to move shop to Australia. They failed in capture the next nano-second. What Facebook has done differently from a development perspective is build a framework capable of evolving by allowing third party application development. That’s smart. Let other people do the free marketing. It’s no different than the Apple App Store concept and look at its popularity.

I’ve been amazed by how many people use Facebook. It really has outpaced a lot of other applications. I know a lot of people prefer Facebook over email.

I haven’t used it much yet, but I pretty much limit my time for social media. That said, Facebook seems like one of the more useful connection channels.
