With the summer heat bringing blog activity to a melting standstill, I thought I’d do something to improve traffic. After reading Michael’s post on how Facebook affects a site’s traffic, I was still hesitant as, well, c’mon…you have to admit Facebook feels like something we’d be playing around with in high school. I felt a little ridiculous on that site being as how I’m almost 25. Heck, why not break out the Friendster and AsianAvenue too?
I’m still staggered at how ridiculously awesome of a marketing tool this site is. Having a blog is a powerful personal branding tool but Facebook is just amazing for research. It’s like having focus groups and surveys all built into the same site. This thing could put telemarketers out of business.

I think I’ll stick to adding people I actually know but if you’re a reader, feel free to come find me but leave a message saying you came through the blog, thanks.
