Second, I’m using Facebook as my “Social Media Hub.” A place to collect feeds from my blog, Google Reader, del.icio.us, Twitter, etc. and then make then available to my friends. It’s a collection of “ME” to keep my friends in the loop. It’s a bulletin board to those that want to stay connected.

Finally, thanks Lee for the detailed post on the latest phenomenon.

I kind of side with Robin and Clarence on this. I can see a use for networking, but LinkedIn can provide that, so too can Twitter and MyRagan and CommNetwork. I agree with Robin that often it is just too hard or too much trouble to go back into a profile and delete it.

Like blogging and podcasting, I wonder how long before the ‘Facebook Phenomenon’ witnesses ‘Facebook Fade.’

What I mean is that once the initial wave of enthusiasm to join such sites subsides, there’s a definite sense of ‘now what?’.

I suspect there’s a growing gulf between sign-ups and active users. After all, how do you delete your profile on most sites?

So unless there’s a big draw for business people to return day after day (And I mean greater than ‘just how popular am I today?’) to actually help them do their job, then they are likely to fall into disuse and the crowd move onto the next big thing that does serve a geniune business purpose.
