This article aims at analysing the suitability of Facebook as a tool for outward communication in<br />

Introducción<br />

Des<strong>de</strong> hace unos años Internet se caracteriza por la llamada Web 2.0, basada <strong>en</strong> la<br />

participación activa <strong>de</strong> los usuarios, que se conviert<strong>en</strong> <strong>en</strong> creadores <strong>de</strong> cont<strong>en</strong>idos, a la vez<br />

que consumidores. Se trata <strong>de</strong> un público cada vez más y mejor informado que ya no acepta el<br />

papel <strong>de</strong> receptor pasivo <strong>de</strong> m<strong>en</strong>sajes publicitarios. Ahora quiere tratar a las empresas <strong>de</strong> tú a<br />

tú y s<strong>en</strong>tirse valorado. De lo contrario, cortará su relación con ellas y la establecerá con<br />

cualquier otra <strong>de</strong> la compet<strong>en</strong>cia.<br />

Las re<strong>de</strong>s sociales son uno <strong>de</strong> los elem<strong>en</strong>tos principales <strong>de</strong> esta web participativa. En<br />

concreto, Facebook es la que cu<strong>en</strong>ta con un mayor número <strong>de</strong> usuarios <strong>en</strong> todo el mundo y<br />

también <strong>en</strong> España. Es quizás por esto que las empresas están cada vez más volcadas con su<br />

pres<strong>en</strong>cia y las acciones realizadas <strong>en</strong> ella.<br />
