Ahh, Social Networking
Social networking has gotten a bad rap in the past – sites like MySpace and
Facebook started out as a way for teens and young adults to connect with their
friends and share pictures and gossip. All of that though has really evolved
over the past couple of years and social networking sites are popular all over
the world with an increasingly large demographic. For the online casino gambling
industry, this means that there is significant market potential. Facebook is a
key social networking site because of the ability of users to augment their
Facebook pages with third party applications – these applications rarely concern
the online casinos and more often run to cheesy images and fun games between
friends. For the internet bingo lovers out there though, the new Online Bingo
Facebook group updates interested players with pertinent information about the
industry.
Since the online casino gambling and even bingo gambling sites rely on actual
gamblers at the sites as a way to make money this new Facebook application is a
way to remind gamblers of big promotions and other industry news and keep the
game at the forefront of their minds. An added benefit though to the Facebook
application is that it combines the element of friendship and fun as online
bingo gamers gather their news – emailed updates are often deleted before they
are read because…this marketing effort has some real potential.
Apparently, the online casino bingo gambling population agrees that this is a
great way to get updates and information and the group’s creator, Chris Kkleski
notes that the group is ever growing and he anticipates it will continue to grow
as time progresses. The larger the network the more fun it is for the bingo
players looking for friendly banter through the group’s Facebook page. |
