Does anyone visit the candidates' Facebook pages?

Slate has a bit up about how no one visits the candidates Facebook pages.

The answer obviously, is no. Without even seeing the Facebook page for any candidate I can say that it is most likely flat, boring PR shtick. Exactly what Facebook was meant not to be. If someone wants to find out about a candidates positions on issues, their official web page would do a much better job. What Facebook does well is two way interaction, and no is delusional enough to believe that writing on Barack Obama's wall might actually get you a response from Barack Obama, and not some pimply intern.

What Facebook can do well is spread videos and news. Look at Vote Different or Obama girl, or the Jena Six. But these things spread in a more or less uncontrolled manner. What matters on Facebook is not so much the candidate to voter relationship, as the voter to voter relationships where candidates are discussed.

But I think this is probably obvious to most of us who actually use Facebook as Facebook and not as a marketing tool. For those using it as a marketing tool, well, now you've got a study to tell you that.
