How do you react when you receive negative comments on your business’ Facebook page?

“Warren is in the House” Tweets the Oracle of Omaha

Last week, he did it. Eighty-two year old billionaire investor/philanthropist Warren Buffet opened a Twitter account and tweeted “Warren is in the house.” A week later, he’s shot up to 416,000 followers. And his first tweet has been retweeted 42,000 times and favorited nearly 13,000 times. Not surprising. Like Merrill Lynch (at one time), when… more »

Facebook Gives You Just What You Need: Emoticons and Tags

I commented last week that I was in a foul mood because Facebook has been teasing me with Graph Search, but not delivering. Update:  I still don’t have it. Facebook has done me a favor, though. Now I can get the word out to my Friends that I’m upset about Graph Search by using Facebook’s… more »

Who’s Listening?

What are we doing on Facebook?  How about Twitter?  LinkedIn, or YouTube?  What are our expectations when we make that post or tweet? We expect that someone is listening.  Perhaps through our words, pictures, and videos we are hoping to have some impact.  For our businesses, we are hoping to further a relationship and become… more »

How to Use Facebook Graph Search to Find Amazing Stuff…NOT!
