Another thing that's important to point out is that there's a certain
marketing trend that's specific to MS--filmmakers and musicians are still
creating MS pages for their films and music albums. Maybe they're starting
to do this with FB, but I know that people make a MS page for films when
they don't want to make a full Website and they can decorate and design them
in a way that they probably can't yet on FB.
Does anyone else know anything about this with regard to FB?
