Demand is high both interest from agencies and advertisers.  Facebook will be the new microsite strategy for the brand marketers.   Viral engagement of applications is key to success for online advertising in social networks.

Facebook lends itself to things that get agencies excited.  To me it’s about the best of contexual and behvavioral targetting *with* conversion.   Possibly the next Holy Grail!  Bloggers today are talking about all the holes in Facebook… My take on it is that it’s very early.  The innovations will appear fast.

Focus areas of advertisers:  1) Direct response and, 2) image & branding.  For developers they are much more focused on being a great user experience with an emphasis on number of “active users” (not just users) – this speaks to the engagement.

Great panel by JermeyLiew who kept the questions crisp and focused.  Thanks Jeremy.
