Exactly. Random Google searches aren't the way to attract people to such conferences. But an invitation from a friend with similar interests also attending the conference is! facebook 1, Google 0.
If you think about it, what is Google the way to do? Anything involving people, and facebook wins. Flickr is Google-searchable. Facebook Photos is not. But facebook Photos wins, at least among young adults.
- Tichy 18y agoIf that's what people want... Email also isn't searchable, yet people managed to inform each other about conferences via email for years. No doubt Facebook is a certain power on the internet. I still cling to the "social networks are like nightclubs" theory, though, and expect people to move on. I simply can't imagine Facebook dominating everything, because I personally don't like it.
- brlewis 18y agoIf your friend tells you about "le web 08" in person you'll probably google it later. It doesn't have to be either/or. You can put Upcoming's events on Facebook using either upcoming's or friendfeed's facebook app.
