The Great Facebook Debate
Article Date: 14th Aug 2007
There has been a great debate taking place over the past couple of months. Facebook has been discussed by just about everyone with a blog and many of the mainstream publications. BIMA would now like to host a face to face debate, taking the conversation offline.
Some of the views expressed so far include:
1) It's like AOL with a 'walled garden'
2) It's a black whole because it's easy to import information from other sources, but I'm unable to get my information out
3) It flies in the face of open standards
4) It reduces employee's productivity
5) It's the next Google with lots of trusted people recommending content that's approproate for me
6) It helps me to communicate with people more easily
7) It encourages me to communicate more often, helping me to build stronger relationships with people and organisations
8) It helps me to raise awareness for my products, services, events or brand
Once the date, time, location and price have been agreed tickets will be available for sale on the BIMA website. More information can be found in the Events section.
