Computer Help and Support

back in November.

I used it for both personal Social uses and for "professional" uses.Over time I realized Facebook was not the tool its cracked up to be for professional use. I was a musician who used it to promote live performances. The band I was in had a couple hundred followers who did visit our FB site often. Even though they were responding to our posts online in FB their presence did not translate into butts in the seats at live performances. I would rarely see any of them at live performances.

I suspect FB itself, by design, is somewhat responsible for this. I believe they've designed the site to "appear" to be useful as a free promotional tool but underneath the hood its true intent is to plants butts in their users computers chairs and keep them glued there in front of their monitors endlessly posting and responding to the vapid crap being constantly shared there and not actually participating in person with any of the FB professional pages the user has followed in their feeds. FB is all about ad revenue and nothing more. SmoKe and mirrors.

Its a shame but that's the reality of FB. A good idea when it started but turned to crap by a CEO who has turned out to be a pretty despicable individual. I hear occasional rumors of a possible FB replacement but have seen nothing concrete yet.
