Facebook page Honor Revolution encouraged Palestinians to protest against Hamas brutality in the Gaza Strip today. I couldn't search for the name on facebook, either. Can't wait until facebook starts advertising or monetizing its successes, whichever comes first:
It's easy. It's fast. It's facebook! Only $19.99 for a yearly membership, Start your revolution today.
But, oh wait. It will probably never do either of those things, because it will be too busy becoming it's own version of an advertising agency--Advertising 6.0.
Case in point. Check out this "success story" on the comprehensive Advertising page of facebook's website:
So basically, whether you're a small business or behemoth advertiser, facebook will knock all other interactive marketing tactics on their bum. After all, facebook is about directing advertising to the persona of You. You in this case being, well You.
As long as Mark Zuckerberg continues to lord over the majority of ownership, it's hard to argue with a business model like that. At least for the moment.
