While as a business owner for most of my life I can appreciate the
exposure
given by a listing on Facebook, my personal objection is this:
In order to even see your listings on Facebook, I am required to JOIN
facebook. Immediately upon joining facebook my entire contact with the
internet is suddenly overwhelmed with popups and trash generated by my
contact with facebook. Something I very much do not desire. Suddenly, I
have emails from companies and people who I have no desire to have
contact
with ONLY by virtue of having ONCE made contact with, and "joined"
facebook. It then takes nothing short of overwhelming effort to remove
yourself from all those "contact points" that have been generated
without
your agreement.
It is, in my considered opinion, the social and electronic equal to
deliberately giving yourself herpes.
Grant...
Who just had to speak his mind on the issue of facebook and "social
media
in general'.
