Don't Forget Facebook: Here's a Big Source of Readers

I'm really upset at the recent article about Facebook over on Copyblogger. Here I've been spending valuable and scarce free time over on Twitter, ignoring Facebook. Now I've just found out I might be missing a crucial traffic builder.

I'm not completely missing the boat, I do have some presence over there at Facebook, just not visiting it daily. My blog posts and twitter updates are automatically fed into my Facebook page. It's a good thing, too. Turns out there's a huge pool of potential readers on Facebook and we need to be nurturing them too.

Go read this article and make up your own mind about where to spend your marketing minutes...

It's beginning to cramp my work and play time, and anyone who knows me will understand that my time on the tennis courts is sacred. You can shorten my work day, but don't you dare try to shorten my tennis time. Something has to go, and it's my time spent blogging, tweeting and surfing other sites ... Pero hablo bien Espanol ahora!)

I think when new social media sites come out the other previous ones get over shadowed. It happened with Myspace and is now happening with Facebook. It seems at present that nothing will over run Twitter so I'll be curious to see if anything ever does.
Great post though Patsi, I think it's time people remember the previous sites that made stepping stones for the recent social media craze.
