The reason is that people didn’t have aggregate power: they were individual voices that a news channel or a company can choose to ignore.

Don’t shy away from giving your community the information needed to find you elsewhere both online and offline. Don’t cross promote to Twitter (offer a different incentive on Twitter). Give them a reason to want to communicate. One way is to see is by giving exclusive deals to Facebook fans.
