Yes, you may know my friend Chanel, but we are friends on Facebook. We get together all the time. We have chats about work, our art, food, fashion, politics, movies, and so much else. And when we get together, no matter how busy we are, we always try to talk, or at least, try to make sure that we are talking about the same thing.
Recently in the business world Facebook has been in the news a lot for its alleged role in the hacking of various websites, and now I can’t help but wonder if Facebook has become a little too powerful in the eyes of some of its users. In any event, I recently had the chance to speak to my good friend Chris, the CEO of the now defunct social networking site, and he told me a story that made me think about this.
Chris was speaking to me about a month ago at the latest meeting of the CFI Forum. We were talking about Facebook, and he mentioned a new website, Chanel. He said that Facebook has been a huge part of his life the last couple of years and that he has been thinking a lot about how they may want to change it. He then told me that he was thinking of shutting down Facebook, basically saying that they don’t want their users to have anything to do with their website.
I’m not sure that Facebook can be considered a business. As much as I dislike them, I can see their utility as a way to connect people in the world through their network of relationships. That’s not what I’d call a business. It’s more an app. It’s also worth noting that Chanel itself does not even have a website.
Chanel is not a company in the same sense. They sell shoes, not dresses. They only operate through their Facebook page and via their website. As a company, they are a fashion business, not a lifestyle business. That makes them a lot more difficult to shut down.
However, it’s not exactly a bad thing that Chanel has Facebook pages and is a fashion company. It’s a really good thing that the Facebook page has over half a million fans and is still active. That means that there are at least a few people who would like to interact with the company.
The good thing is that Chanel has its own facebook page and website, and its Facebook page is very active. But its a little more confusing.
Chanel was born out of passion, and its the only company to have ever managed to turn into a successful fashion brand. But that’s not a reason to run out of money, it’s just that you need an active brand to hold your breath. Chanel can’t have been as successful as those other brands. But Chanel could be a great way to grow a small business in the near future.
Not that you would know, but that’s the thing about running a company. You need to be constantly making new things to expand the company into new areas. If you don’t do this, then the company will die. There are a lot of companies that don’t have this problem, but most companies have.
Thats just my opinion, I do know a ton of people who would love to have a brand that works as a constant source of income and a constant reminder of their individuality. I used to be one of them, but I have since moved on to a place where I have more control over my career and my life.
