Facebook, the new standard…
I initially hesitated to write this post but I later decided to write it. I was discussing this will a friend the other day. You see I needed to buy some hosting space and a domain name for a site I am working on, I did not want to use my usual hosting service. I wanted a better package (who doesn’t).
So I went to Google and I started the search. I was so happy to find a couple of hosting packages that were fantastic. I think I had 3 or so. Okay now I have 3 very attractive hosting packages from different companies. They were almost the same in the features they promise to offer.
What was the driving chose behind my choice? Have u guessed it yet. Facebook “talaaa” let me explain.
I say recommendations given on all the sites from their customers, I even saw all the awards the various sites had won. The thing is there was no way I could authenticate those testimonials and awards with a very short time. What made me choose what I chose was because that particular company had a Facebook page. Voila! I quickly went to the facebook page to check out the comments on the service they were providing for people and I was really impressed. I actually believed what they said on the page.
Facebook has come to stay, I believe it is mainly because facebook tries it possible best to prevent spam and also authenticates it users. Very soon all companies, individuals will validate people, events, and societies on facebook. It is going to be the standard; it’s more than just social networking it’s a social directory.
