If a chocolate company was to give away 1,000,000 chocolate bars does it mean the people consuming them all of a sudden aren’t their customers?

The thing I feel though is that yes Facebook is a brilliant social site and good for sharing things with friends/family, it is though the first and probably will be only the social platform that we will ever use/need.

When I say social platform I mean like an operating system, I have always though of Facebook as the windows of the internet. We can slowly see the dominance starting to happen with the apps starting to appear on their website. People, including myself, have already been using apps to read news articles, play games and other things. All of these things can be done by never leaving Facebook.

The real problems/invasion of privacy will come when things start being sold through the site, if this happens they will then be able to gather data on what you own. At the moment companies have people liking their pages, I think it is only a matter of time before companies use these pages as stores and can offer things to the users though these sites. It is only a matter of time I feel before the internet is ran through Facebook. Why will companies need websites which cost to host when they (I think) will be able to run just an as effective of one through Facebook. They will also be able to to target certain customers a lot more easily with the way in which they can search for them. As seen on the BBC documentary it was very easy to target certain segments just by entering a few details. Why will companies want to deal with anonymous people visiting their site when they can use Facebook to know your name, age, location, etc.
