FACEBOOK DEBUTS ‘FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS’

At the end of last month, Facebook debuted a step-by-step online guide aimed at helping small businesses use the social networking site. The company describes the new site as a ‘online education centre’ for its users giving information about how to set up a profile page and create targeted advertising on the site.

The timing is interesting, coming just a week after Google + began its campaign and started restricting access to the company profile listings.

Its worth noting that Facebooks new business web page doesn’t come with any additional features, it is simply a listing of information to help you utilise the facilities available through the main site.

Facebook is known to activley encourage users to promote their company branding on its site, with spokespeople for the company commenting “Facebook allows small businesses to create rich social experiences and engage online through word of mouth advertising”
