Thank God Facebook is down

74. I know what you mean about the exclusion/luddite thing...

Facebook is a real simple medium/free platform for organizations to use. It's much easier than having a webpage. I have both a webpage and a FB page for my volunteer work. However, Google now removed all the Google Classic webpages and now I'm stuck with the new style and it's clunky and extremely time consuming to update. Both FB and Google sites are free, but it's a real pain and lot of work to update a website. Any small business is going to have to invest some money to host a webpage.

Running a FB page is free. Lots of small businesses, such as bakeries and food trucks only have FB pages, no website.

Actually the people who have just FB pages without websites are the real luddites...LOL...Websites are a ton of work...

FB pages are updated with a few clicks..."Hey we're having a sale this weekend"...FB: Create a post, include a map, cut/paste a photo and done..Create an event, so that with one click, it's becomes part of a user's events list.
Webpage: Remove other content, decide where you want to put the sale on your site. Do you want to put a page on top of your page? How do you want people to view your site, so that they can see the sale? Do you need to create a new page. You can spend 5 hours updating a webpage with an event. You can create a FB event with less than 1/2 hour of work.
