Facebook and the Future
Many people, including myself are predicting that we’re going to become so used to Facebook’s new social features and that a website that doesn’t have Facebook “like” on it will seem weird sooner than we think.

My Mum is a social marketing guru
I’ve done my research, I’ve read the books, I’ve engaged in the blogosphere, I’ve tweeted with the great and good but when it comes to social media my Mum is a guru.

Nice article. I agree with you about the potential power of Facebook Places, it is next natural step for the platform. Combine this with Facebook Credit and you have a powerful closed loop!
There is (as always) some back lash about the privacy aspect of letting people know where you are, or where you will be. Facebook also allows you to tag other people in places (check your privacy settings if you don’t want this to happen to you), But I am excited to see where this will go, How will brands and organisation start to use this technology.
However if you’re thinking about using places – I’ll give you some free advice. I will only use it if there is something in it for me. Selfish, yes – but if you want me to use Places – make it interesting, fun and above all valuable for me….

It looks like they’re having some real success with this:
“This evening Facebook posted an update to the official Facebook Page stating that over 50,000 websites have already added the Like button and/or other social plugins since they first launched last week. It’s a significant milestone for one week as it has taken years to reach hundreds of thousands of applications.”
