#Hashtags are on Facebook- are you ready #forsomefun

Facebook rolls out the #Hashtags.

This past week Facebook made it official after a few months of speculation – #Hashtags are alive and working on Facebook. If you use other social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram and even Google+ #Hashtags have been around so they’re not anything new. Just new to Facebook. So what’s the big deal? It’s going to “up” the social media game with searchable #Hashtags. Not only searchable within the social media platform (Facebook) but I heard rumors of the #Hashtags also being searchable on Google! It’s another way to connect [...]

Facebook Momma- what’s your name?

Nick Name of Facebook Mamma is a compliment

Who would have thought that I would have a nick name of the Facebook Momma? When one of my clients referred to me as the Facebook Momma I got a chuckle out of it. I thought it was sweet.

Difference between a Group and a Business Page on Facebook

Facebook Business Pages are public for all to see whereas Groups can be Open, Closed or Secret.

The other day I had a friend add me to a Closed Group on Facebook, and when I suggested that it would be better for this group to be a Business Page- I was shocked to hear that my friend did not know the difference!

Another new TIMELINE on Facebook

Have you seen the new Timeline on Facebook- what do you think?

Facebook announced that they would be rolling out a new Timeline and that they did. I must say that it’s been a rather quiet change as I haven’t heard too many complaints. But then I asked the question- how many times to you go to your Timeline or someone elses? And the answers were – not very often. So the new Timeline doesn’t have that big of a bang and isn’t that difficult to accept. And once you have the new Timeline- then the Profile Timelines you visit will have [...]
