My employer, Fat Atom Internet Marketing, recent built a very successful Facebook fan page (that I ran). Facebook removed without telling us, so we made a video. Here's the quote from our website.
_________________________________________________________________________________
So here is what happened. We, Fat Atom Internet Marketing (fatatom.com), did a Facebook fan page for one of our clients. The site took off like a rocket, hit almost 50,000 fans, and then we wake up one day to find Facebook had taken the page down. They sent no warning, had already validated our page, and offered no explanation later. We sent support requests to Facebook for almost 2 weeks, everyday, afterward, and they have yet to get back with us. Thousands of dollars were spent on this campaign, and now they are all gone.
We think it is very irresponsible of Facebook, who is still young in the professional world, to treat paying customers like this. Facebook is a great place to grow your business online, but behavior like this is downright terrifying. Business need to have confidence that they are safe investing money in Facebook.
We created this video to express our frustration and confusion.
If you have had this happen to you, please leave a comment and help us spread this video around the web!

MySpace becomes social-media "ghetto"
This article from CNN poses the question "Does your social class determine your online social network?". I believe it does and MySpace is its ghetto. You should check out the article here.
On a related note you should also take a look at the article "MySpace is dead... the Prostitutes and MLM'ers have left." from The Naked Entrepreneurs.

Music Labels Emphasize Artist-Specific Social Networks, Websites
Today's article comes to us from good old Wired. Apparently, social networks and websites made for specific bands and musicians are getting increasingly better traffic than larger websites that have lots of artists with similarly styled pages (for example MySpace, Last.fm, etc). This is very interesting to me as I have been doing work for a musician by helping him build MySpace and Last.fm pages and am very involved in music myself. You can check out the article here.
