The Data You Can Gather On Facebook

Rodney from FaceReviews has some interesting things to say here about what the astute business user can learn about his fellow contacts by paying close attention to their datastreams on Facebook.

People have asked me, “well, Andy, have you done any deals now since you’re on Facebook?” to which I answer “no, but I know a heck of a lot more about my business colleagues than I ever imagined knowing.

It’s far better than any Rolodex could ever be. You know about the significant people and events in their life, their family life, their interests, their hobbies, their related business pursuits, etc.

And for the people who really manage the data they put out on Facebook — like Robert Scoble — they do a great deal to build their personal as well as their business brands.

He’s teaching me something!

Anyway, enjoy the video and have a great weekend…
