No offense taken

Yes done a lot of this over the years and it is one reason why I react as I do.

There is really only one product being effectively marketed via Facebook, and that is Facebook itself.

The joke is that Mark has everyone else doing it for him at their own expense.

I certainly don't mean to be rude or patronising in any way (sorry in advance if you think I am) but have you done any product marketing yourself? There is no such thing as "enough". When you have a promotion then you must promote it in every way humanly possible and not restrict yourself to just one channel. That is a fact... the more pople see it, the more people will spread the word. I can understand people getting fed up with being promoted to if you don't have Facebook, Twitter etc but many people do and many are interested in such things.

well you said it yourself: promote in every way and do not restrict yourself to just one channel - can I sign up for the comp in any other way other than facebook? no, as its about pretending to like something (to gain visibility to a larger audiences). Usually after such comps, people unlike, unfriend their "contact" as they dont want to get all the marketing that will follow ...

speaking about effectiveness - a single signup page with Name and email has always been more efficient if you ask me ...

I think the reason why Mark and many other people avoid it is related to the things most regular "users" dont see/understand - if you would investigate in depth what facebook does analyse, how the underlying marketing works and how that data IS and CAN be used elsewhere you probably would question it yourself.

A simple example: do some digging how many people dont get into job interviews due to other people sharing about "their" (not the applicants) personal lifes ...
