So I would use Facebook for updates that are valid for more time than the minute-by-minute approach you can take with Twitter. On Facebook you can post things like "Come see us today at the XYZ show" along with very good reasons to see you -- a contest, an offering, a top level employee, or the launch of your latest new product. Post pictures of your booth, your new product, the giveaway, whatever you are talking about. And post videos, too, of a tour of your booth, or a short demo of your new product. You can do double duty here -- create content to entice show visitors to come see you, and also create valuable content that will have a life after the show. Hello Jordon,
