To Facebook or Not to Facebook...

...or if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

The furor over Facebook's change in default privacy settings -- and their partial backdown last week -- is another reminder of how powerful Mark Zuckerman's little company has become since they expanded past the high school and collegiate market and opened their doors to just about everyone else.

While I have more fun on Twitter (when I am able to splinter my focus away from work)... I find that Facebook is the service that more of my offline friends use the most, and I've found that it's the most useful for communicating with other women (and let's face it - that covers 99% of the people I think of as "friends."

It's definitely the one my daughter uses the most (as I mentioned last week). And it's one that is becoming increasingly important to those who wish to use social media to promote their business.

I'm not quite certain what kind of "business" I am, as I don't earn much in the way of money here. But  I've joined the rest of the blogging world by creating a Facebook Page for SoCal Mom... and so am begging my readers who like me to please indicate so over there.

Thank you!

I have resisted Facebook thus far but I have a feeling I may have to jump on board soon enough.

Your blog is great Donna!
