The other question is, does it really matter if you have thousands of 
'likes'.  For years I have been asking people have you ever bought 
anything because of FB or Twitter or through them and the resounding 
answer is no.

FB might be good for branding purposes - but how many people really 
spend time at the top shop FB page - probably just the ones that would 
be on anything top shop anyway. It seems to me that most people on FB 
are communicating with friends or Chinese or Brazilian......  New sales, 
doubtful.  Sales to die hard fans who were already inclined to buy, 
possibly.

IMHO, users will never view FB as a place to shop like they do ebay or 
Amazon and they won't view it as a place to look for things or 
information as they do with a traditional search engine.

If you want to make money on FB, develop a useless app ;-)
