I am sorry it’s been so long since I have made an entry — business has been good and I’ve been busy with client projects!

But when I read about this I had to share it,

As you know Facebook is HUGE and the business pages are growing expontential in means of online marketing for companies. Now Facebook has made it even more valuable… with an effort to make business particpating in Facebook money there is a push for monetizing pages from within Facebook.  By utilizing shopping cart software built exclusively for Facebook, retailers can now sell products right on their Facebook pages - no need for users to ever exit Facebook.com.

These e-commerce platforms are still quite new, and users should be aware of the beta environment and possible bugs  and potential upgrades that they will have to prepare for when implementing. However, for those with large fan presences, these e-commerce platforms can be extremely beneficial.
