Here’s my latest post on the Click Here Blog : In the not too distant past, Facebook was just a social network where advertisers could buy media. However, the addition of new ad formats and the Facebook Applications and Facebook Pages platforms have transformed Facebook into a marketing microcosm where virtually any marketing objective will find a solution. Evidence is found in the fact that if you’ve considered creating a Facebook Page, you’ve probably asked some of the following questions: Should PR be in charge of messaging? Or should it be our CRM folks? Don’t we need to get our promotions agency involved since we’re running a sweepstakes, and our media planners, since we’re buying Facebook Ads? In fact, each one of the disciplines in your agency or marketing department has a channel within Facebook to achieve their objectives. In this blog post, I’ve outlined a few different approaches to Facebook based on different disciplines and objectives. Hopefully, it will expand how you think of Facebook, as well as give you some ideas for how to address your specific marketing challenges: Read the complete post on the Click Here Blog .

It’s hard to imagine a world without advertising, but a new site by the folks at Web dev shop Mindrally asks visitors to do just that. It’s a simple app. The site begins the sentence ” Without advertising, ” and users complete the thought. Some early answers suggest that such a place would have better products, companies that make real connections with consumers, and people who make eye contact with each other on the subway. One person said that in such a world, “no one would know anything.” We’re guessing that one came from an ad guy. Via Adrian Ho . —Posted by Brian Morrissey

Palm Pre will be the first device to feature the new webOS from Palm Palm is yet to release its much-awaited Palm Pre phone but there are already reports of another device in the works running the same operating system that Pre is based on. A new phone from Palm called the Palm Eos is likely to debut on the AT&T network, says Engadget. Palm Eos will run webOS, the new operating system first shown on the Palm Pre earlier this year. Palm hasn’t commented about Eos but the phone is seen as the successor to Pre. The candy bar style Eos will be slim (about 10.6 mm thick) and will have a 2.63-inch display. It will also be a quadband GSM/HSDPA phone with 4GB storage and a 2 megapixel camera. The Eos could be priced at $349, excluding a rebate. Check out Engadget’s photo of the Eos. Without the slide-out keyboard of the Pre, the Eos looks similar to the BlackBerry Bold. The pre-rebate pricing on the Eos seems high for now but if Palm can work with the telecom carrier to bring that down for consumers, it may have a worthy successor to its inexpensive and successful Centro smartphone.
