Info-SUMMITSM Slidedeck
First – here is one of the earlier drafts of the slidedeck for my Info-SUMMITSM presentation… 63 slides before I stripped it down! (Read my post here about my lessons from the Info-SUMMITSM event, if you haven’t already).
Here is a different presentation: 24-page slide deck in PDF format “Facebook for Business: How to Create a Loyal Following, Build Your Brand, and Increase Your Profits Using the #1 Social Network” – originally presented at the Social Media Success Summit 2009, “Facebook for Business” session.
View the Video (webinar) for this presentation below [Note this presentation was in early June 2009 and some of the Facebook stats have already changed quite a bit!! Total active members is 325 million and Alexa ranking is #2 now!]

21-page slide deck for “How To Grow And Engage Your Audience On Twitter” – originally presented at the Social Media Success Summit 2009, “Twitter for Business” session.

Excellent info and it’s very kind of you to make it available. Thank you.
What I don’t get though is all the fawning over Facebook Pages for Business with zero criticsm for the absolutely awful implementation of the technology. Do some searching to see the thousands of complaints about how FB makes it difficult or impossible to segregate your business page from your personal profile and how people have found personal information getting posted to their business wall and vice versa.
A perfect example – Youtube/FB interface. Plenty of small businesses use Youtube to host and syndicate videos. Ever try “connecting” a business’s Youtube channel to a business’s Facebook page using Youtube’s Autoshare? It can’t be done because you need to enter the email address and pw you use on FB and business pages don’t have one – you must use the username and pw of the admin’s personal profile. So as soon as you click “connect” that info is posted to the PERSONAL profile of the admin.
FB made it impossible to have business pages independent of personal profiles. They force apps to use personal profile login information to connect. So you never know whether the task you are undertaking could cause your business and personal lives to cross or collide and for some people that’s not something they care to risk. There are thousands of posts in various forums, knowledge bases, blogs, etc complaining to deaf ears about these issues.
Until more prominent and trusted folks like yourself apply some critical thought to your support and promotion of Facebook, small business owners and people without technology staff will continue to suffer in dealing with this mess that everyone is falling over each other to praise.
