"This is also a good time for search marketers and marketers in general to think again about Facebook, if you haven't already. More and more Facebook content has been made visible to search engines over the years."  Sullivan then goes on to say "Google's move makes having Facebook fan pages even more essential. Without one, you're missing out on a chance to be found within yet another area, Google's real time results."

Now this one definitely pulls the value of Metallica’s concert down but it has got their fans thanking Facebook. Apparently the fans of the band in Israel used Facebook to launch a campaign to boycott the soaring prices for their concert scheduled for May 22, 2010. The actual  price of the ticket was put at $159, but the power of the crowd has got it to half the price to around $80.

This was obvious, the band which people actually worship when it comes to metal genre is visiting the state after their last tour in 1999. Now would you ever think of missing that just because you can’t pay the price. The group started off with 600 followers and in less than 4 days has amassed over 6,000 users. Now this definitely is a good news for the fans in Israel as well as for the tour, given that the cost is now halved, it means that more people will be making it to the concert. Jam packed to be precise is what it should be and will make it worth the campaign.

To me this just shows how effective can social networking sites can be when you utilize the platforms to rally in the like minded for a cause. Plus it also shows that the strength of each group, cause or campaign has equal chances of success and these could be as diverse as the people and their tastes. I hope we can pull off something similar for a foreign artist coming to Pakistan.

The social network is really heading on to maximize its growing influence. The social networks now wants to make sure that you end up using the Facebook mobile version if you do leave the social network on the Web. Well the social network has been used far and wide the many smartphone devices like the iPhone, Android phones, etc but it hasn’t really been able to give a great experience. I only enjoyed using Facebook on the Nokia N97 [you can read the phone’s review here].

As of now the login page now has a huge mobile phone image and the link takes you to a new page where you are provided many options to ease using Facebook via mobile devices. The release provides you with the ease of updating  your Facebook status via text messages, you already had this option but the social network has made these option more prominent now. Other than that you also have the options like having a customized email for the social network that you can use to upload videos, photos, etc to your Facebook profile. Once you are signed up and click on the link to have an upload email, the social network would generate you one which you can use to share content right from your email client.

Facebook or any news associated on a given day would never cease to ridicule you. There have been many reports that have been categorized as bizarre all the way to funny and today we hear that certain activity on the social network had Israel rolling back its strike. Apparently Israel was planning to launch an attack on a small West Bank village, but thank to a soldier it never happened as he shared certain details online. Thanks soldier you did save some precious innocent lives!

Let me connect this to the news yesterday when the US Department of Defense pulled off its ban on letting Marines use the social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. Didn’t I say that this would very well fall back in the ban mode and this is exactly why I thought so. The soldier was carried away with the rush of blood and enthusiasm about sharing the clean sweep of the village, sharing the time and exact location. Of course that was just a silly mistake on his part but it cost him dearly as he was court martialed and put in prison for ten days, I feel sorry for him but to be honest he did a job. Why? Well I can bet that the forces would have killed a countless innocent people just to get rid of a few bad folks.

Other than that, he will get a lot of curses from his fellow soldiers who might very well be banned from using social networking sites like Facebook. Especially when they are on duty.

Alright I am surprised here. How come the US department of Defense allow Marines to use social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. That’s great for the armed division given that much free Football players aren’t allowed to use the social networks even now. Does this mean that soccer players have much important secrets that those in the armed forces? Of course not!

I recall that these sites had been blocked for the armed personnel a couple of years back but that wasn’t made an official rule. That is of course the reason why it has been lifted and the soldiers been allowed to use these platforms. Now this doesn’t mean that the network is open to all and more importantly for all times to come as the DOD can put the ban up any time it has to. I personally don’t see the reason why they would want to keep a ban on any social activity, given the fact that they literally own all activity that these soldiers far and away do online? They have blocked all access to any porn site on their network and I bet keeping an eye on every individuals activity there wont be any big a trouble for them. In the meantime the soldiers can kill their loneliness while the ban isn’t there and feel a bit closer to their loved ones in some distant corner of the world.

What do you think about this decision? Do you think that this ban should be there for armed forces and such organizations? Do share your view point with us in comments.
