Facebook: Opportunities of a Ready-Made Platform

Categories: Events, Facebook StrategyPosted on December 5th, 2007

I’ve just completed my keynote here at the Web Community Forum, my presentation was a kick off: Your Facebook Strategy: Opportunities of a Ready-Made Platform. I also cover some of the challenges, including the recent BeaconGate, and most importantly, how to develop a strategy that makes sense.

If you’re not familiar with Facebook, I’ve written this primer: What you should know about Facebook.

In addition to being an Analyst covering social networks, I’m a user too, you can add me as a contact (I’ll add you back) or join the Web Strategy Group.

Tris Hussey has blogged about the presentation
and there were a tremendous amount of tweets from Teresa on Web Comm Forum. Update: Ariel of Microsoft took amazing notes, I was watching her type with flurry and passion, followed by Mari’s high level bullet points.

Update: Mari also was blogging the event.

  1. Wow, this is great. I’m madly preparing a keynote and full day workshops for nonprofits for Friday in Portland - on developing strategy, metrics, measurement — small group work. I have a range of backgrounds/experience - so I have to start from the beginning and set context — (explaining why social media is important in the context of telling the story of the wizard of oz)

  5. Beth, thanks for sharing, great deck.


  6. What is so game changing about this? All this slide deck talks about is that you need to have a strategy for Facebook.

    Consultants have been selling strategy for various initiatives for decades. Duh.

    CRM. You need a strategy for that.
    ERP. You need a strategy for that.
    SCM. You need a strategy for that.

    See a pattern? What is funny is that Web20 crowd jump on this like this is the best thing since sliced bread. Egad.


  7. How does one get a sponsored page on facebook?
    The options they sent were fliers. But I need to get one done similar to Target.

    You should probably contact Facebook directly for Sponsored pages.

  12. I think it’s very important to look at an engagement strategy for Facebook, YouTube or any other community. It’s way too easy and often that you get in a brainstorm and some shouts, let’s facebook or why aren’t we YouTube’ing.

    Taking a holistic approach to connecting all web properties together and the ability to promote each entity while still pushing content is something we’re still looking to tackle.
