I don't think their intention was for the event to be so wildly spread among the public. <br>I think it doesn't prove the efficiency of FB, but instead shows that 1. There's too little fun in W DC and 2. It's always great fun to party at an embassy :)<br>Also, I believe that the possibilities of swedish women attending the party helped.Johan HedbergWed, 06 Feb 2008 09:53:02 -0000http://www.allfacebook.com/2008/02/the-facebook-effect/#comment-1639338If this event were spreading amongst college students, the event would not have been filled with mid-20 somethings. College students are mostly 18-22. College students actually don't use Facebook for events much at all. As a former club promoter and college marketer, I know the gamut of utilitarian promotional devices available to the public. Basic flyering is much more effective than Facebook Events, which is why we created CollegeTonight. Students may use Facebook Events as a collateral service simply because of the sheer number of users on the site, but it's not effective. Facebook events are about as effective as "Facebook Pages."ZachTue, 05 Feb 2008 18:25:27 -0000
