Thanks DD.

I've been reading a lot on how small businesses and other services have been investigating the usage of social networking sites for brand awareness. Maybe we can get some fresh blood and eyes on us by going this route. I have also e-mailed Eric on a few occasions, so maybe I could pass the idea of purchasing some products with a coupon code indicating that it was found via Facebook to gauge the effectiveness.

Plus in this downturned economy, how can you go wrong with free marketing especially with a potential customer base that is >200M strong?

Stats from FB:

* More than 200 million active users
* More than 100 million users log on to Facebook at least once each day
* More than two-thirds of Facebook users are outside of college
* The fastest growing demographic is those 35 years old and older

* Average user has 120 friends on the site
* More than 3.5 billion minutes are spent on Facebook each day (worldwide)
* More than 20 million users update their statuses at least once each day
* More than 4 million users become fans of Pages each day
