It’s a pity that Facebook is not just a little bit more customisable. In this day in age having a Facebook page is probably more important than a website.

There’s a money making idea for Facebook right there. Enable businesses to turn their profile page into their main site.

I wonder if any radio station has simply pointed its own domain to their Facebook page?

Look around all media and you dont see web addresses anymore. TV commercials dont say “Beercompany.com” at the end of the ad, they say “facebook.com/beercompany.”

Facebook is DOMINATING the internets. For many people, FB has become the internet. They get email, photos, videos, news etc. EVERYTHING most people need to do online, they can do inside the walled garden of Facebook.

I’ve long thought many radio stations lose native site traffic by mentioning Facebook on the air, but that’s where they can gain traction to their actions. Content is easily shared. When comments are posted, people are notified of subsequent additions to the conversations.

It’s a case of if you can’t beat them, join em.

I know where I’m at, IT has such tight control over our websites that it’s incredibly difficult to do anything with them. That’s why we use Facebook so much, we can actually upload pictures from events and of in-studio guests, as well as have comments, discussions, etc.

I work at a radio station and totally agree with your blog. Facebook is another way of interacting with your listeners, but why would you give your valuable content away to a site you have no control over? Facebook is great for conversation, but all links should be back the the content on your own site. Facebook may be popular now, but Bebo was also popular… and Myspace… something else will come along and the Facebook bubble will burst. It appears some other comments are from people who clearly missed the point.
