Starting over with Facebook

After a really interesting and insightful presentation by Christian Hernandez (Facebook’s Head of International Business Development) at the Adobe Omniture Summit last week, I’ve decided I’m really overdue spending more time exploring Facebook from both an end-user’s perspective, and as a business/commercial platform.

Step 1: research hooking Facebook status updates into my already habitual twitter posts.

Thankfully, after about 20 seconds of Googling, this turned out to be trivial due to the ‘Selective Twitter’ app on Facebook: http://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter

Just add #fb to the end of the Tweet, and it gets copied to Facebook too.

I suspect that the two platforms really need a different approach to their communications styles, but for now I’ll try this dual-threaded approach.

[Update] N.B. A friend (who has recently started their small business) forwarded me this, post relevant to ‘How to Use Facebook to Grow a Small Business‘. It could be interesting trialling this with my wife’s company.
