For at least the entire week leading up to Saturday's debate, there was a large ad at the top of my media feed for this debate, and I genuinely took interest in both learning more about the candidates AND seeing how facebook would integrate into a debate. I was equally disappointed to find that the facebook essence was nowhere to be found once the debates actually got started. On one hand, if just the facebook logo got some people to watch a debate they wouldn't have otherwise, I would consider it a successful move. But they missed out on keeping those viewers by not integrating UGC. I also thought Anderson Cooper did a better job of moderating the CNN/YouTube debates... I absolutely agree with this analysis!
