A Web CEO's Take On the Facebook Redesign
Sam Lessin is founder and CEO of the file-sharing site drop.io. What follows is his reaction to the Facebook page redesign.
My company, drop.io, has just shy of 3,000 Facebook fans and 3,500 Twitter followers. While by no means are either of these numbers earth-shattering, social media has always been at the absolute center of how we as a company interact with our most dedicated users and customers, and we take it very seriously as a primary means of keeping up an ongoing dialogue with our community.
As such, whenever either Facebook or Twitter make changes to their platforms, we take those changes very seriously. Having spent an initial few days playing with and thinking about the changes Facebook is making to their fan page system, I must admit that I think it will radically effect the way in which we as a brand can and will use Facebook--this time for the better. Had you asked me last week, I would have said that Twitter is a far more important and rapidly growing channel for us than is Facebook, but I am not sure I will have the same feeling going forward.
