In the past several weeks we’ve given you the rundown on the Sarasota restaurants that have been using the micro blogging service Twitter to help promote their businesses. Since posting those articles, we’ve had some people ask us which of their favorite Sarasota restaurants they could find on the hugely popular social networking site, Facebook.
We all know that Facebook is a popular place to connect with current friends and re-connect with old ones. But, more and more, businesses are using the service to get the word out about what they are doing. For restaurants it seems like this is a natural platform. Posting food specials, events or promotions is an efficient way for business to communicate with potential customers.
On the flip side, it’s also a great method for customers to find out what’s going on at their favorite eateries. Whether it’s a particular band that’s playing or a themed dinner or even karaoke night, “Fans” of a restaurant have that information pumped straight to them without any effort on their part.
We decided that it would be a great thing for both our local restaurants and our Sarasota diners if we could put all that important Facebook information in one place. So, that’s what we’ve done.
Just like our Twitter list, you can find a constantly updated listing of area restaurants that are using Facebook in the right sidebar of our Pot Luck page. Just click on the restaurant name and if you have a Facebook account, you will be taken straight their page. Once there, you can sign up to be a fan or a friend.
So, without further ado here’s a list of some of our local restaurants and where you can find them, Friend them or Fan them on Facebook.
