I must say, I was a bit peeved this past week when I went to my Facebook Business page and it defaulted to my Facebook page. I've accumulated about 2,000 fans for it over the past month or two, building it, adding videos and content to find out that Facebook just lost it on the WWW

http://www.twitter.com/vanetworking now defaults to my own Facebook personal page.

I've put a ticket into support and hopefully they find it for my network followers. Cross your fingers for me!!!

In the meantime, it got me thinking about how dependent our businesses are starting to become on the social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc. I know I've been pouring money into my Facebook business page to trick it out for my audience and now find myself wondering if it was a waste of money?? (No it wasn't as I'm confident Facebook will be able to find it) But how can we protect ourselves from glitches in the system like this or can we even do that? I do know this, thank goodness I still have Linkedin Groups and my Twitter stuff plus a few other social networks I am focused on to pick up the slack of losing Facebook in the interim.

My word of advice: Don't put all your marketing efforts into one social network and instead divide it across a few of them as you never know what may happen to an individual social network or even worse, what if one of these companies goes belly up?

Just needed to air and thanks for listening
