The point is that Facebook isnt just a way for college kids to look at pictures of each other anymore. People are counting on it for business, and how delicate situations like these are handled will be crucial to operations. Unfortunately, Facebook doesnt have the greatest track record for handling delicate situations. Facebook likes and Twitter retweets have replaced links in many instances. Thats not to say that links are dead by any means, but a lot of people will simply retweet a piece of content or like it, rather than blog about it and link to it. This cannibalizes the link graph from the search perspective, as Rand Fishkin and our own Mike McDonald discussed a while back, and that makes Facebook and Twitter even more important to pay attention to from the marketing perspective when some of that juice is going away from search engines and into social networks.Do you agree that these issues are something Facebook is going to have to take into account?Share your thoughts.
