Thoughts on Facebook

Facebook

I find Facebook to be one of the most useful tools for education and/or business.  The manner in which it allows you to communicate with an intended audience is unparalleled.  Its constant evolution allows users to remain ahead of many curves while maintaining a level of user-friendliness that benefits a variety of different users.

I've used Facebook for several years on a personal level, but this was my first endeavor on a professional level.  In using Facebook to remain in contact with family and friends, I become aware of the "event notification" feature but never utilized it.  Often I would see this feature being put to use by family and friends promoting a party, fundraiser. etc.  It has always appeared as a very useful tool, but even more so when it is utilized on a professional level.  It tends to be a bit more informal than sending bulk emails, which would have been my initial choice for mass communication.  The informality of this tool, together with its clarity and creativity options, have made me an advocate and a user.

I can envision Facebook being at the forefront of any promotional/informative efforts that I will make within my custom tailoring instruction goals.  Promoting my professional link to members of my personal Facebook account will hopefully create a chain-letter of sorts that will in turn promote interested parties to contact us.
