It confuses correlation (best customers are more likely to want to be fans) with causation.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, kind of. True, one doesn&#039;t have to buy a FB fan page like a full page ad in Reader&#039;d Digest. BUT the idea that &quot;virtual no-cost&quot; is just not true. To have good social media, one has to be social. That takes time. And time = money. Companies who throw up a fan page (pun might be meaningful here) and just leave it static or without effort will be among those who are identified as those whose pages DON&#039;T work. The question is, &quot;Is the investment (staffing time, marketing follow up, parallel marketing, etc) worth it?&quot; Which in essence is the age-old question: What&#039;s my ROI?

NEVER fail to calculate time as part of the investment.]]></description>
