So true McLaughlin & Wayne! I tell my clients Facebook is like it's own little mini-Internet. I tell the ones old enough to remember--it's like AOL of old--85% of the people never leave AOL (Faceboo). Back to the future.

I think we as marketers and business owners should really move past the numbers in order to decide whether to participate in a social media platform. Yes, 350 million is a huge number and everyone we meet might have a Facebook account.

However, there is still a large number of people (The United States alone has an estimated population of 300 million but only 100 million of them are on Facebook) that are not on Facebook. Yes, Facebook will continue to grow but my point is, don't start marketing your business on Facebook just because everyone around you seems to be talking about it.

It may become a tool to help you learn (by following knowledgeable individuals or resource sites), networking with other business owners or just to socialize with friends, but for marketing, you still have to decide whether your target audience is on Facebook.
