New Facebook For Marketing

After reading an article on Mashable, it appears that the new Facebook is going to be very well suited for business and marketers to jump right in. The author even went on to say that it will be beneficial for marketers. Here are some of the reasons he thinks it will benefit business.

Contextual sharing.
Meaning that instead of just "Like", now we are "listening", "reading", "watching", and "posting". He thinks this will add another level of relate ability.

Auto-Sharing.
This will automatically share almost everything you are doing on the internet while you are on Facebook. It will give marketers a better look at what people are doing.

Business Upside: Traffic & Data
All these new features will allow people to become more connected with Facebook. Which will in turn make businesses more connected with the Facebook users. This will be a great update for businesses that put a lot into Facebook.

Discovery: Now a two-way street
The early internet trends were all about searching and finding things on the internet. Now the internet is shifting to more of a be discovered type of system. People are looking for companies to seek them out and connect with the.

Overall I definitely think that this new Facebook update will be great for both business in social media, and just us regular people using it to stay in touch with friends.
