Are Facebook Pages taking over Websites?
Remember way, way, way back when the Internet started? OK, so maybe I used too many “ways” in that description. But, how many of you remember AOL? How many of you remember eWorld? Anyone?
When the Internet first started to become commercialized, the strategy seemed to be for companies to become the entire World Wide Web experience for their members. Companies like AOL and eWorld gave away millions of free disks for people to load the software onto their computers and this software because the gateway to the Internet. Only, they really didn’t let you go onto the entire Internet. They just kept you within their software/domain confines and brought everything to you and called it the World Wide Web.
We quickly got away from this portal system as companies realized that they could get their own domain name and market their www to the entire world.
So, are we in the midst of a “everything is cyclical” moment? Is Facebook trying to get us to do our entire Internet experience on the Facebook.com domain and nowhere else? If you watch TV at all or browse around the Internet for news or entertainment you are sure to come across companies promoting their Facebook Pages. Not their domain any longer. Just their Facebook page with a vanity URL. For example, you can see Candybox Marketing at www.Faceobook.com/CandyboxMarketing. Have you checked it out?
