Part one Social network   

More and more users start to use social network. we have to agree this new technology has been became one of most important part in our daily life. More than 500 million active users are on the Facebook everyday. You can find more information on the internet and they will show how popular the social network is in our life (You can read http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics) For the most of users, social network is a good way to make new friends or communicate with old friends. However, for the company, social network is a new chance to help them to get next 1 million or 5 million dollars. 

To discuss how companies to use social network, we have to mention the biggest social network web site, Facebook. 

Kmart  http://www.facebook.com/kmart?ref=ts

In the Facebook,if users search Kmart, they will be easy to find its Facebook main pages. In the Kmart's page, it is include huge information for example, pictures, videos, careers and so on.When people want to know more information, they will click button "like". Then they have make a friendship with this new page. so every few days, when Kmart updates new information, the clients can get news for that.

Benefit: 

1)Facebook is a good platform for offering huge information for potential clients

2)When people build a new relationship with Kmart, they have to receive all the new information which Kmart will update. 

3)Facebook can get the feedback from Facebook users and know what exactly they want to buy.

4) Other Facebook users can find relational Kmart content from their friends Facebook pages.

Pitfalls:

1)In Australia, there are many Kmart shops and they may be different. Facebook could not offer different pages for every shops

2)Sometime users are not interested to Kmart, they still have to receive information about Kmart.

Part two Personal ideas 

I have not used Facebook for a long time. I think if you real like some companies, you can search their homepage and click "like". But if you are not interested to some companies, I suggest you do not click that button because you may receive lots of useless information. 

If you have new ideas please contact with me.
