Facebook gets one right
Social media participation is crucial in the 2011 business world. We must partake in Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, blogs, and the list goes on.
A little while ago, Facebook became a little more clumsy when it got rid of the Go To Page feature. Instead of one button, we had to click on Accounts, Use Facebook as Page, and then the applicable Page. Or, you could type the name into the search bar, which was still more annoying than it had been. I get cheesed any time there are extra steps involved where fewer used to suffice. Well, I’ll learn to be more patient in the future because the Use Facebook as Page feature is now pretty cool.
When you choose to switch to a page, you are no longer operating Facebook as your personal self, you become the company. You are notified if there are any new Likes in the same space of the toolbar where friend requests come up. It also gives notifications for new posts and comments on your wall. This is the best part.
The wall was no longer listing chronologically and posts would be buried or go unnoticed because they weren’t at the top of the pile. Now, Facebook tells us what’s going on. Awesome.
Albeit, what it makes better should not have been difficult in the first place, but it dramatically cuts down on Facebook surfing time, combing old posts to make sure the convo is kosher, (something both an employer and a busy employee will appreciate) and makes sure you can participate in the conversation people are having about your company.
So, communicate away!
