Facebook, “Likes”, Search, and You

Today in San Francisco, Facebook CEO and boy-wonder Mark Zuckerberg shared two points worth repeating: there will be over one billion “likes” on the Internet in the first 24 hours of the “like” button, which launches across a huge network of sites today; and that Facebook users are sharing over 25 billion things a month, right now.

Have you been reading this data showing that overall search volume is decreasing? That people going to Google and searching – these numbers are in a pretty dramatic decline. Why? Because people expect to “organically” find the information and products and goods and services they want – that they won’t have to go and look, to search. Your social network, and the “influencers” in your network, will have a far greater role in determining what sites you visit, what content you consume. And now, with the “like” feature, Facebook further melds with the ever-expanding web, and you can be absolutely certain that sites and pages with a lot of “likes” will get a lot more traction than those without.

And with that, to our non-social-media-using-real-estate-friends, let us ask again: What will it take to prove that you absolutely must get with the program, starting with Facebook, starting now?
