I guess it depends on your definition. I don't like facebook for what Van's is using it for. I'm probably one of the only teenagers that doesn't have a facebook account. Maybe Van's could do both though. A facebook page for those who like facebook and a blog for those who don't.

You don't need an account to look at the page. I really don't understand what the fuss is about, or how some folks regard a FB page as being more evil/scary/whatever than a blog or a forum like this one.

I am aware of that. I just don't like how the information is presented. I find a blog much more organized looking than a FB page.

In case the Vans people are reading this, I also want to register my disquiet about Vans utilising facebook.

Why can't they say anything they have to on their own website? This is what most other companies do.

Why couldn't they come to an arrangement to use this website for more dynamic updates?

I've looked at their facebook page a couple of times; it's confusing, and I just plain don't like it.

Don't forget there are some of us that will just stay away from facebook as a matter of principal.

There seems to be a lot of other options other than facebook.

Overall, I just don't get it....

I'm not one of "Van's people," and cannot speak for them, but I think that they have found that Facebook is fast, simple, and free for everyone. It makes sense to me that the folks at "The Mother Ship" would use this service.
