I have always shyed away from facebook, but you really put forward some interesting and informative points here, so much so, that I think I will take it off my 'to look into' list and put it on my agenda for next week. I have just started on Twitter and have so far found that to be a great place for networking and information. Thanks to Twitter I found your blog and now have it in my favourites!.

Appreciate your feedback on my latest post. And secondly, so wonderful to connect with you. Another Melbournian helping to change people's lives and teach them to use the internet and powerful strategies to create a financial freedom. I look forward to getting to know you better! Talk soon, and keep up the great work on this blog, Facebook, I agree is a fantastic tool. I actually get around 20 facebook friend requests per day now and its amazing how many people are on there looking for leadership, guidance and help with their businesses. Fantastic. Its amazing chatting to people on the chat function as well into the early hours of the morning just about life, friendship and business. Great times.

I totally agree with you Sam...First of all, I think the keynote Facebook guys gave (http://is.gd/nb08) explains pretty well their goals. As for the position of Facebook among its competitors, I truely think that applications which allows people to interact with their social medias straight from their facebook profile will be the key. Thanks to the tabs which are now customisable and the new shape of Facebook home and profile pages, so many applications can be integrated more easily. From the large public point of view, I have in mind the possibility to use Facebook to post my CV as it is already proposed by the French platform DoYouBuzz.com (http://www.doyoubuzz.com/do/content/demo/?o=2). Sfeed, Twitter, Flickr are some other examples of applications that could perfectly feet into tabs of everyone's profile page and make Facebook an even more powerful central platform. As for small businesses, I think the keynote I mentioned before as well as your post, Sam, highlight very well the various ways of communicate the new Facebook and the prospective versions offer. Tabs + Applications is, in my opinion, again is a gold mine in terms of way to promote someone's own business. The facebook page is good example : http://www.facebook.com/facebook? Online store (Marketplace??), Careers are for example tabs that could make a company's Facebook profile page a very powerful overview to offer to its potential customers. +1 for the high fives Sam, very good job (again) for the post. Remi Hi!

As a Virtual Assistant, I spend many hours working on my computer and it can get a bit dull at time. Knowing that conversation is only a few keystrokes away has been so helpful to me. As well as seeking friendship and conversation, I often use Facebook as my HELP resource! If I'm stuck on a project or my computer begins to behave badly I send out an SOS of sorts! In no time at all someone comes to my aid! You just never know when business will happen. Every opportunity you are given to make connections should be taken. Facebook is one opportunity which no one should turn down! I especially love the fact that I've met Sam Mutimer! She has brightened my world with her videos and informative posts. Sam has a wonderful attitude with a great sense of humor! High Fives Sam! Eydie :) I like the interaction I get when I’m on Facebook.
