  Yeah, I think Facebook and Twitter are good, in large measure for drawing more traffic to the website. Yeah, I can see a DJ not needing a website, or a local band. They can do a lot with Twitter and FB. And they're only really marketing to their friends and acquaintances anyway.

  But, you know, would you hire an architect off what he had on Facebook? Would you hire an accountant because of his tweets? I mean, in a lot of fields, one has to eventually show the reality of one's training, background, experience. Web is a good platform for that.

  I might spend $1.50 on a bottle of flavored water off something shown on Facebook, but I doubt I'd contract a $20k addition on my house with someone who didn't have a website.

  • Very true. I think at the end of the day though people want more control.ukit
  • That's why I was saying FB, Twitter, as well as some kind of CMS they can update.ukit
  • 90% of people stop doing the updates! If they have real businesses, they get too busy!boobs
