HERE’S A QUICK QUESTION: What comes to your mind when you think of Facebook? Let’s see now. You, a common man: “FB? I get to watch fun posts and videos, stay in touch with friends and colleagues, stay connected with distant cousins and relatives, and also make new friends.” You, an enterprise manager: “A platform to advertise my products and services.” You, a small business: “I can create an FB ‘page’ and promote, even sell, my products and services.” You, a wannabe businessman: “I can start a virtual business on FB, I don’t need to take an office on rent.” You, a youngster, teen, Gen Z, cool dude: “FB? Nah, it’s too fuddy-duddy, it’s for my parents; Insta is more my thing!” You, a politician or public administrator: “FB… WhatsApp…hmm… gotta keep an eye on these fellows; they can be a nuisance….”
