Facebook Questions - Like or Dislike?

I'm sure there are terrific benefits to this new feature... however, IMHO, this feature adds yet another layer of unnecessary complexity, could easily confuse visitors to your fan page (or profile, group or event), and could easily divert fans away from your fan page if they choose to post a question vs. just writing on the wall.

I can already see the Facebook Questions feature is fast becoming wildly popular: http://www.facebook.com/questions/ -- however, surely it doesn't need to be integrated with the publisher?

See Facebook's blog post announcing this new feature:

Thanks Mari - good to be in the know - especially as a team leader for my troops...RE/MAX Whistler.. I agree a little scary, we are already scattered on many of the social scenes... keeping us inline one track is the best answer.. FB holds us in their hands.. whistlerheather

Gotta give props to you, Mari, for taking the time to investigate this feature & put it into perspective for the rest of us.

I don't like this new feature.  I do see that there is an advantage to this, but anything that takes a fan OFF the main page they were on is NOT a good thing. Thanks for posting this, Mari.

Hey Mari,

I'm not amused as well with that update from FaceBook since you're going to tweak in more and get your eyes looking at terrible places. Keep us posted. :)
