Excellent article and I think it's right on. I have received a few reservations from FB, but it's pretty minor compared to other sources. I look at FB as a way to directly communicate with folks that have already stayed with us. It gives them a bit of connection to a pleasant experience they've had and keeps us in their thoughts. I find that it's mostly the same 20-30 people that respond to comments. That's certainly helps for repeat guests. I find it kind of fun to interact with them and can be humerous and sometimes silly which I don't do on a blog post.
I had a call last week from boooooootiquuuuuueeee which we've discuss here before. They wanted me to do the free reservation app on my FB page. I turned him down and he couldn't believe it. My gut feeling is that I don't want FB to be an integral part of my booking process. Too risky and I don't want to give other companies possible access to my guests or my reservation system. Why in the heck are they offering that free app? There MUST be something in it for them, I just don't know what yet.
Nope, I'll keep FB an interesting, fun aspect of my online presence, but as the article says, they can and do change whatever and whenever they want..
