Mar 19th, 2009 | By Greg | Category: Buzz, Social Marketing, Social Media buzz

Facebook is driving internet marketers bonkers.
First it was the rumors that Facebook was trying to buy Twitter; then it was all the bruhaha about Mark Zuckerberg’s “secret” Twitter account. (Personally, I think that if he meant for it to be a secret, his avatar wouldn’t have been a PHOTO of himself - LOL.)
And now this.
