7 Ways To Build Customer Relationships On Facebook
"Communicate the value you offer to each and every one of your fans, define clear terms of use, determine a limit on the number of times they can participate in each engagement, make sure to send them emails with details about the values they have accumulated, such as the number of points or gifts available to them as well as important activities the brand offers. For example; a new game has been opened as part of our summer campaign and participation awards 50 points."http://www.allfacebook.com/7-ways-to-build-customer-relationships-on-facebook-2011-05

Down Home Digital: Face(booking) the Future | ProjectVirginia
"If you’re still skeptical about Facebook, consider the size and growth of its audience. Facebook passed Google search in early 2010, as measured by number of visitors. Since then, the social network has continued to expand its audience and share of Web traffic. While both Facebook and Google are growing, Facebook shows no sign of slowing down and is now clearly outpacing its rival. It’s no surprise that each new slice of the youth market picks up the Facebook habit as it comes of age. But Facebook’s growth among folks in their sixties, seventies, eighties and beyond is pretty robust as well—and we’re talking prime voting demographics here."

Public Funding
“A cornerstone of U.S. politics since the 1970s, public funding of presidential campaigns may soon go the way of other relics of the era like long sideburns and lava lamps. Neither President Barack Obama nor any of the leading 2012 Republican contenders is expected to accept federal matching funds and the limits they impose.
In fact, opting to take public money to finance a presidential campaign this year is likely to be seen as the mark of a loser.
“I would be shocked if they took matching funds. I don’t think that it’s a successful model this time, or in the future,” says GOP strategist Carl Forti. He’s been an adviser to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and helped run American Crossroads, an independent group that raised millions to defeat Democratic candidates in 2010.
Obama’s record-breaking fundraising in the 2008 campaign allowed him to abandon the public system in both the Democratic primaries and the general election. With his success as a benchmark, top-tier Republican candidates now are planning to go it alone.
The president, who has no Democratic primary race, may become the first candidate to raise $1 billion for the general election in 2012.”
