@Michael - business networking is definitely an aspect of Facebook that needs to be explored as more and more professionals sign on.

If I were a magic 8 ball, I’d show “outlook good” for us hitting on that during the event.

I remember things right when I’m done recording too!

… I thought that was my own personal nuttiness. Not that I’m calling you a nut. Maybe it’s time for me to stop talking?

Being nuts is great, ain’t it?

Facebook is too cluttered for business purposes…its mainly for social networking.

Very interesting. I have found many people are looking to Facebook and some other networking programs to increase business networking opportunities.

I am a Realtor, and our research indicates, the younger demographic with buying power get quite a bit of their information on real estate from scanning Facebook.

Yes, LinkedIn.com, Mutliply.com and Twitter.com are more business oriented, but Facebook was shown to generate the traffic, not just for socializing, but for getting business related information as well.

I have found it to be quite beneficial for business as well as socializing. Your video was quite interesting.
