Let me give you an example (because I can already tell I’m not doing a good job of explaining myself). We all have our networks on Facebook and Twitter.
Study: One Facebook fan equals 20 extra website visits | Articles
Social media marketers love Facebook fans. But exactly how valuable is a “like?” Experian Hitwise has an educated guess, backed by some solid research: “For retailers, each new fan acquired on Facebook is worth 20 additional visits to your website over the course of a year.” This number is hardly arbitrary. Here’s how they did it:
Late last year, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) began integrating its search results with Facebook-showing Bing searchers which results their friends “liked” on Facebook, for example. Today Microsoft has made a big expansion to that system, and is even using Facebook results to bump up links your friends like, which might otherwise have been buried deep in the search results. Overall, Microsoft is making a big bet that Facebook data will help give it an edge over Google (NSDQ: GOOG), which remains, of course, the most popular search engine. The changes to Bing come at a strange time in the history of social searching. Just last week, Facebook got busted planting a story that slammed Google’s social search options as having privacy problems.

If Facebook had its way, its 700 million users would never leave the site. Its recent discussions with entertainment giants might help the social-media behemoth get closer to that goal.

Last month, Paul Ceglia’s lawsuit saying he owns half of Facebook got the attention of the national and international press, mainly because the suit includes several alleged email exchanges between Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Ceglia. Facebook offered its response to the suit today in court, repeating its contention that the whole thing is a fraud by Ceglia, who is described in the new filing as “an inveterate scam artist whose misconduct extends across decades and borders.” Ceglia’s complaint “is based upon a doctored contract and fabricated evidence,” Facebook lawyers contend.

BandRx: A Free Page Management App for Musicians That Matches Facebook’s Design
BandRx is the latest tool to emerge in the musician Facebook Page management space. Utilizing a modular design, BandRx gives bands flexibility in terms of functionality while retaining Facebook’s design principles. The small company saw leading musician Page management tools from RootMusic and Reverbnation pushing Pages to look more like MySpace and wanted to build a product with a white and blue style that better matched Facebook. In response to the decline of MySpace, the former home of band profiles on the internet, several developers have begun competing to host musicians as they migrate to Facebook.
Facebook launched the revamped version of the Comments Box plugin in March. Though some initial bugginess and missing features such as comment exporting may have slowed its adoption, 50,000 sites had integrated it by mid-April. Post-launch, it added comment exporting, analytics , and some second-tier login options, but despite launching with live code for Google and Twitter logins , the plugin still doesn’t support these premier identity providers as login options.
Wordpress Challenges the Facebook Comments Box by Adding Facebook, Twitter Logins to its Comments Widget
Facebook users can now edit a comment they’ve left on a news feed story or wall post by clicking the ‘x’ button within the first few seconds after posting the comment. Instead of deleting the comment as before, the ‘x’ button re-opens the comment input field and lets users edit the previously entered text. This new feature should help users who’ve posted a long comment, but then immediately notice a typo or want to change the comment without having to delete it and re-type the whole thing. Our initial tests show the time window in which edits are permitted to be about 12 seconds.

It's really good, that on top of their existing (and really easy to use) Graph API, to see Facebook move towards something that not just developers can easily consume, but any user can also consume and do things with in a simple fashion. Until (and if) Facebook opens up its own API, this is the right approach to take, and they should be commended.

Having a branded Facebook page has become near-essential for many businesses. As such, companies should give as much thought and energy into planning and managing their Facebook page as they do a traditional website. “The rapid adoption of the ‘like’ button and the rise of the Facebook ‘homepage’ are indications that marketing on Facebook has become a necessity for businesses large and small,” said Kimberly Maul, eMarketer writer/analyst and co-author of the new report, “ Facebook Marketing: Strategies for Turning ‘Likes’ into Loyalty .” “Yet the fact that some companies have made Facebook the primary way they engage with consumers online raises serious questions about the risks and rewards of marketing within another company’s structure and rules.” Most Fortune 100 companies now use Facebook for marketing.Facebook Google Burson Marsteller
