I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I do however think that your take on my post is grossly misguided.

I completely disagree that FaceBook is a waste of time. Your facebook fan page is a great place to build a community where people interested in your business or industry can share experiences, questions, success or failure stories…

People communicate through facebook. That is an undeniable fact. If you are in a people business, which insurance is, you have to be where people are. Thats it.

Thanks,

Ryan H.

Ok, so you go and get 5000 facebook fans. So what? Nobody on facebook is going to click on an insurance link, they are going to click on a link to a stupid video. I would suggest investigating how you are going to leverage all these fans you hope to get, and if it is worth the time and effort. Facebook is often a waste of time in many industries.

Lynn,

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to explain to me the difference between media and medium.

In this case I was trying to speak in terms that all readers would understand not just those versed in Social Media.

Thanks for reading.

If you want to be credible, you should know how to talk about social media! Medium is the singular form of media. Therefore, it should be “ignoring Facebook as a social medium,” not “a social media medium.” That's like saying Facebook is a social platforms platform. FYI!
