Phew. Consulting advice in a comment stream? :) Not sure the environment / product / customer segmentation - so can't help you there unfortunately. But I suggest you play with the tool - choose Sudan as a country and enter various keywords... @Nahed. Phew. Consulting advice in a comment stream? :)

Yaro Starak's Blogging for Profits.. Perhaps there is value to be had in the immediate future if advertisers go after group interests only, considering the group is a "live" one that interacts frequently. The GottaQuirk facebook blog network is as dead as a doorknocker. Just joined the GottaQuirk blog network on Facebook and surprisingly there’s a blogging-related skyscraper ad on the side..

Traditional segmentation doesn't work as well anymore. People crowd to content and to value. The crowd creates itself. Might take longer - but at least you're talking to people who want to be there... My take anyway... @rob Thanks!

Where there is an audience, there will be marketers although I think there is still a huge amount for all of us to learn. As Seth said... safe is the new risky so good for those who are experimenting! Really great article Andy - thought provocing.

It seems the only two denominators that hold promise are age, gender and location. Looking at the images kinda puts a damp on one’s zeal to use facebook as a platform to market.

I now wonder whether I should gather up a posse of hyperconnecteds and we seriously brainstorm around how we can turn facebook into a viable platform to further the aims of the people that pay our salaries. Shall I keep wondering? Very thought-provoking.
