Mayhew's Facebook Tips and Tricks Call

by alec on January 22, 2008

Last night I participate in a call titled Facebook Tips and Tricks.  It went on for 90 minutes, but it was terrific.  Organized by Mark Mayhew, again, it combined a good mix of Facebook Newbies with folks who have been on Facebook for a while.  We discussed topics ranging from search engine strategies, to marketing and recruiting, and techniques for building fan pages.  AND, we speculated wildly about Mark's latest terms of service warning. 

Enjoy the recording, even if you couldn't make the call. There's about 60 minutes of material here.
