    I stumbled on a supposedly free website builder for Facebook. You can use Facebook app to page a page into a professional website. Different links, and pages, even videos and a shopping cart. Here is a link to it. http://t.co/1L2TbP8R I also just tweeted about it. If anyone has used this or is going to please let me know how you like it and if it’s as good as they say! Thanks!!

    Not sure how I feel about a financial software company turning one of a companies most important assets into a commodity. I have seen so many companies take the cheap route and it cost them so much more in the end.

    To me, it’s like as Bank of America to mentor me in social media marketing. Would you do that?

    This is not their expertise, there is too much to know and learn on a daily basis with the regulations in their own industry. They are just trying to make a dollar and not thinking about how they are hurting their customers.

    Now, if you don’t care, and don’t mind throwing your money away, I say go for it! Commoditization of your site is a mistake in my humble opinion.

    It’s just my opinion after working with clients who had a certain expectation of how easy it is to build a website, only to find out it wasn’t easy and it isn’t free – it cost them money out of their pocket because they lost it to low site traffic and no seo – and then they had to spend more money to do it right the second time.

    I actually decided to post early a blog I was working on addressing this issue, so I decided to publish it now.

    @donpurdum I agree with you totally but since this turns your Facebook page into a site will the visibility and quality of people’s first impression really be reduced?

    My opinion – it’s wishful thinking on their part. Here is the danger in my view…Facebook changes things so fast and so often it’s a big risk to turn it into your website. Consider the fbml issue. And, if you violate their terms you really risk a problem.

    Plus, I’m not confident people want to see websites built into Facebook. It’s a platform for free flowing two-way communication, not a stand alone marketing site.

    I’m not sure, but personally I wouldn’t do it. I think there are better apps and solutions.

    Again, I don’t trust a financial software company either for these types of solutions if I did want it. Their goal is not to help you, it’s to get you buying their products, ie Quickbooks, and give some free marketing away. Let’s face it, they will put their name on it somewhere with a link.

    Those are my thoughts. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so.
