Normally I am a Facebook enthusiast for using the social network in your online real estate marketing strategy. Lately, however, I’m starting to have some doubts.
This morning, as I was managing my client’s accounts, I had to log out of Facebook for just a moment and then log back in. That’s when I saw it; a mid-login notice to ‘Register your Computer’. You can’t get past it (I tried). They might as well have put a notice that “resistance is futile”.
Nope, sorry, no way around it. You are not getting on to Facebook unless you ‘name’ your computer.
Is this Facebook’s sudden ‘answer’ to all the controversy over security issues and spotlight in the news as to their use of private information? With so many people getting upset about privacy issues and talking about completely deleting their Facebook accounts, I can only image that this was somehow Facebook’s alternative to actually taking the time to educate users on managing their privacy settings and taking control of their accounts.
What is your take on all the Facebook controversy? Will you still use Facebook to market your real estate business?
