Like I Need More Newsfeeds.

Facebook to me is a richer experience on the desktop than on the mobile device. I can share, comment better and more in the browser than the app. Instead of adding more function to the app, Facebook announced today that Inspired by mobile: Now the best parts of Facebook for mobile are on the web, too. Basically it comes down

Facebook Page Insights Reporting Update

Facebook announced the following on February 22, 2013 which has me a little concerned. As part of our ongoing investment in Page Insights we recently completed a comprehensive engineering audit of the product. During this audit, we uncovered bugs that impacted impression and reach reporting. We have confirmed that these issues impacted reporting only and not delivery. Ad Insights were

Facebook Interaction Doesn’t Reflect Perceived Demographic

Parents magazine had a town hall of sorts with folks asking questions of VP Joe Biden through Facebook. Some of the questions were Does it make sense to provide armed guards for our schools like those that are provided for government buildings?

Witness to Incident Flames the Local Social

There has been a local story that has really taken hold here in the port city. Halifax has always been a rough town.

Keith’s Fails on Valentine’s Day

Alexander Keith’s asked on Facebook “Happy Valentine’s Day. Will you be sharing a Keith’s with someone special tonight?” on Valentine’s Day this year. I am not sure if the demographic they are reaching out to is particularly tied to having a cold one with someone special. Perhaps more of a wine variety? Interesting the comments that they got back in

Music and the Shore #facebookfail

In somewhat the same vein as an article earlier this week, here I want to make a few points about how Facebook is pushing more the ‘pages I might like”. Today I was recommended a page to like. That is the page you see above. After I liked the page, up came the recommendations of other pages. Now this particular

Like and Comment this Post

It’s far easier to like a post than comment is it not? Think about a friend posting a picture. How often do you comment as opposed to simply liking it to let them know you appreciate the post.

A Page You Might Like

Facebook has taken the whole suggested like to the next level this week with interruptions in the news feed page with pages that your friends like. There seems to be as yet no real reason as to how or why the pages are suggested other than a random sample of pages liked by friends and paid for promotion. Not sure

Dragging Out the Drag and Drop

Facebook finally added a feature that is way over due. Drag and drop photos. How long since that feature was active on YouTube for videos? A year, maybe more? This feature also allows to upload more than one, delete them from the post and have a preview. I do wish that the next roll out would see that the photo
