In the early years I never thought Facebook would go this route. How times have changed. I think you bring up a valuable point about data. Raw data has little value. The value is in the application of the data. Credits and other gimmicks like that won't keep people on Facebook. I believe that Facebook should get back to its roots and refocus on their original market. College students. This market is largely untapped in many ways and Facebook can still capitalize on many aspects of it, but using credits isn't one of them. It will be interesting to see what all comes of this, what are your thoughts Ben? Chris @ChrisBrooks07 www.successmarketingandselling.com Great information and very thought provoking.
