Problems arose as Facebook rose to fame.
Some people were complaining that their friends were only interested in talking about business.
Some even found their friends more interested to transact business over catching up on their personal lives.
To resolve these problems, many marketers started Fan pages and cleaned up their friends' list.
Now, all marketing strategies will be done in the Fan pages while their personal Facebook profiles are reserved for family and close friends only.
This year, Facebook is estimated to gain over $710 million in revenue.
Facebook now has more than 350 million members and the number is growing continuously and fast.
With its newest feature called Facebook connect, members can now connect across the Internet through sharing their blogs or websites.
Because of its rise to marketing fame, Facebook will be the leader in social networking because of its global scale.

This means that users can receive all kinds of spam messages - from the long lost relative who has the same surname as you do and is asking you to give her $14,000 in order to transfer $1.
4 million into your account to the sexy men and women who want to chat and be friends with you! With last year's problem with content privacy, Facebook users will now be overly sensitive when it comes to changes in the site.
Last year, Facebook announced that they own users' contents which caused many people to get angry.
To put out the fires, Facebook retracted that statement.

There is an AdWords-like campaign which targets users by location, age, and more.
You can also create an ad, choose pay per impression or PPC and track conversions.
Competition will definitely heat up among marketers.
Be ready to step up your campaigns early in the game.
