Today’s Pet Peeve: Facebook “Links”

I have noticed a distressing tendency for more and more businesses to not bother with a web page; they just have a Facebook presence. No, No, No! For goodness sakes, it’s not difficult or expensive to put up at least one page with a little information about the business. Having only a Facebook presence makes me think the business is unprofessional. It also means that the only information I am getting about the business is what Yelp or the equivalent is giving me.

So to all you small businesses out there: if I click on a ‘link’ to your ‘site’ and am immediately invited to sign into Facebook, then I am not going to your site. I know I’m in the minority here, but, really, wouldn’t you prefer to reach everyone, not just Facebook users?
