Let’s face it, Facebook is not done yet.
This social networking site has been a trend maker for the recent time as people become literally hooked into it.
Facebook has been a force to reckon with when you talk about the internet, its massive number of users tells the story.
So why not go where people are?
This might be the argument of some blogs or news websites on why they chose to abandon their sites and bet it all on Facebook.
There could be advantages and disadvantages of course. (It would take longer to discuss both comprehensively)
Going all Facebook seems convenient but it will take away the flexibilities of having your own website.
A dedicated blog or website also means dedication to what you’re trying to deliver. You can put all your ideas, customizations into it and report more comprehensively. Advertising is not a problem, it can always have space.
If these websites and blogs are not contented with their traffic then Facebook comes to play. It is where you can get audience and drive these audiences to the dedicated website. If the content of the news website or blog satisfies its visitors then sharing and recommending will emerge. This is what a fan page can do and is supposed to do, lure the people and take them to your territory where you have control.
Unfortunately, some think of otherwise.
It is unthinkable of news websites and blogs going all Facebook. It should not be the case in the real online journalism; it is like publishing a news story on a popular magazine instead on a daily.
Facebook is a social networking site designed to share, interact and connect people. It should stay that way; it should not become the main source of news and current events.
