I've been a Social Media Specialist (working in the corporate world) for three years now. I am recently gone full-time freelance, though. I am so glad you're here and would love to hear your feedback on my blogs. I'm hoping to launch my social media courses soon. Check back often for updates about those. Also, if you have any questions about social media, don't hesitate to ask me. Use my "Contact Me" page to send me an email. :)
Hey Everyone, I just wanted to post a quick note about this blog and the facebook changes newsletter. Please know that I am not canceling it. I know I have missed a couple of weeks of updates (specifically about the new Timeline for Brands on Facebook). And I fully intend to continue that series of [...]

However, you can no longer message your fans from any events you have created. If this is as startling to you as it was [...]
Sadly, a Facebook update no longer allows you to tag your fans on your Facebook Page (even if they are your friend). This could be a potential problem for some of us. I know for me it is frustrating. I would use this feature to let someone know that I answered their question, because it [...]

Facebook announced on November 22, 2011 that the Notes app will no longer autofeed your blog to your Facebook Page. Why does this matter to you? Well, if you have been using the notes application to import your blog posts, then it’s a problem. Your blog posts will no longer be sent directly to your [...]
