The writing is interesting, however I would like to know how does the the facebook social network connects with the value you are looking for. The difference with google is that your link will show up on keywords. However Facebook is a tight controlled envieroment where the content doesnt filter as easy. Sure I can put a facebook group with my business, but how do I get this group to the people out there. Few peopl will look for facebook to search for my business. Ads in facebook sure build a connection since they just pop-up. I am not bashing the idea completely, I just would like to see the connection actually happened. (working examples)
