I hate this stupid redundancy that everybody has with Facebook and Twitter in addition to their normal website.

Indeed.

You're a professional company, Nintendo. Use your website. Leave the social networks to angsty pre-teens.

Whether you two like it or not, social networking sites are widely popular with all kinds of people, and have been demonstrated to be very useful in PR. They should use their own sites as well, but it makes no sense to ignore the social networks.

Nintendo of Europe sounds cool. I wish we could get something like that over here in North America.

angsty pre-teens.

Not to mention that it is faster to distribute information through social networks than through an official website. People absolutely love to share information with others, and it spreads out greatly. Why do you think news like the SOPA fiasco was so widespread? Because people found out about them through social networks, and in turn shared that information with others.


So like JP said, like it or not, social network sites have become a staple of how we share and distribute information, and any company that ignores it is going to be left behind.
