Facebook’s move on colliding itself to reality
Long ago David Hughes has shared a case that, by providing some incentive, a local retail shop can drive facebook fans which in return drive additional sales; similar was done by Google Place, formerly known as Google Local Business, by uploading you business location to their data center, you will have your store located on Google Map search when someone is searching keywords related to you; Of course, foursquare is having a even cleverer way to do the trick, by checking-in, to encourage real-life traffics through virtual gaming…
All these… are pushing the internet forward, just want it to collide with the reality.
And now facebook has finally made his move.
Shopkeepers and Fan Page owners can now have these window decal on their shop windows. Customers, who have a mobile with SMS-function, simply text the above message to a specific receiver (32665 in this case), you will then “Like” the shop.
Brilliant.
Not only such decals expands facebook network to reality, but also how they manage to leverage their network for offline shop owners, elegantly.
Can’t wait to see the effect of this move. (and what will Google react btw? =P)
Cheers,
