What Does Facebook Actually DO for Me

What about facebook sucks? and so all the other social networks, I already have zillions of ways to contact my friends (email, phone numbers .. etc), and for those who I don’t have their contact details anymore, I really don’t care to contact them (not really close friends, otherwise I wouldn’t have lost their contact details in the first place). I thought the point in social networking is to make new friends, I wonder if anybody here has made any friends from a social network ..

just my two cents ..

I don’t use FB. I have an acct with one friend. I joined a few groups for knowledge centered around my job, but I get better info from LinkedIn.

I think the only reason it would benefit a company to have a FB is simply to be where their consumers are. (if they’re not there, then what’s the point?) or to give the impression that you are accessible to your consumers in ways that are convenient for them. That said, I wouldn’t expect much ROI or activity from FB.

I find Twitter more valuable because it’s real time information/activity. It can be a source for taking the consumers temp – if you want to find out what consumers are twitting about you, just do a search. It can be a real time news source – during the Mumbai attacks Twitter provided live up to the minute updates from users actually tweeting from Mumbai. It can also be a means of communication, like instant messenger, when you need to send mass communications; unlike sending a text from your blackberry to your contact list, you can include everyone.

I feel the same way that the person expressed his idea about face book…..what does it do? its a matter
of picking one be it linkedin, or another messaging app to send/receive messsages….what is all the
hype about facebook…..?????
