Conclusion Remember that social media communities are real relationships, real conversations, and as such, they should be treated like they are real.

With the initiative for Facebook to be open and to empower businesses to host pages that celebrate their business, offering deals and giving the community the ability to converse directly with the business or entity these pages represent, you forgot about accountability. And now there are Community Pages! Who the heck needs it?
