Facing Up to Facebook Fans
The Ramones used to moan, “Now I wanna sniff some glue. Now I wanna have somethin to do.” Had our lads survived until a bit beyond the millennium, they would have changed the lyrics to, “I’m not as busy as I look. I’m just workin’ on my facebook.”
Fact is, Facebook isn’t just popular with my 15-year-old and his friends. Lots of folks of a certain age are hooked on this little phenom. It’s a fantastic time-waster, and a great way to make a statement. I’ve added all kinds of cool little doo dads on my facebook page, so many I probably look like a dweeb.
Now, here’s an idea. What if retailers and other companies got into the Facebook fun? You know, send you a little airplane when you fly so many miles on American Airlines. Or, increased your “healthy meter” every time you buy a Jamba Juice.
Dumb? Maybe. But hey, it’s somethin to do.
