Spitting: The Definitive Reason Robert Scoble Should Join Facebook
May 9, 2007
Robert Scoble says he won’t join Facebook because he needs, “fewer things in my life, not more.”
I totally respect information overload, Robert. But we all know you’ve soured on Second Life. Facebook won’t take up nearly as much of your time as SL did.
But the real reason you should join Facebook is because you’re a spitter. That is, you like to direct little droplets of information you find interesting out into the universe. You spit with your link blog. You’re a spitter on Twitter.
Facebook is the ultimate tool for spitting. It combines the best of del.icio.us with your own little social network. Yes, your link blog has lots of interesting content, but what if you want to make sure that Jeremiah Owyang sees something? You can go through the tedious process of sending an e-mail with the URL. You could open a new tab, go to Twitter and type “@Jeremiah: http://url.com”, send it out and hope he sees it in his stream.
Or you could use the Facebook toolbar to quickly route the information to Jeremiah and forget about it.
So c’mon Robert. Whaddaya say?
