Should You Leave Facebook?
Social media has taken the world by storm. It has encompassed our every day lives and for some they are like Linus in Charlie Brown and they “need” that blanket. However, do you think there is truth to the theory that the more time you spend on Facebook, the more you think that others have happier lives compared to your own?
The responses to this question have varied but I found them very interesting and wanted to share a few of them with you. One reader responded by saying:
“I left Facebook because it was driving me crazy. The software was awful, there was zero interaction, and I was sick of game requests. I don’t know that I have a happier life, but I do dislike Facebook.“
This poses the question, is Facebook becoming obsolete in today’s social media stratosphere? People are complaining about the constant changes that Facebook is making. Not to mention that for those who don’t use Facebook to play games, the game requests can get overwhelming.
Another reader responded by saying:
“It’s a little plastic over on Facebook. I found there were a lot of very unhappy people on Facebook trying to make… Continue reading

The Difference Between Facebook Personal Pages and Business Pages
Facebook is one of the most widely used social networks. Facebook offers pages for personal use and business use. However, many people still don’t understand the difference between the two. If you fall into this category then keep reading and I’ll explain the differences below. If you are running a business then you want to make sure you have a Facebook account for your business and a separate account for your personal life. You don’t want to mix the two.
Business accounts are designed for those who basically want to administer pages and ad campaigns. A Facebook business account differs from a personal account in a few ways:
- Business accounts are for those who want to administer the business page and ad campaigns versus really socializing or friending people.
- Business accounts are reduced in functionality versus personal accounts.
- Business accounts can view the ads and pages that they are administering but they cannot view the profiles of the users on the site.
- Business accounts cannot be found in Facebook search.
- Business accounts also can not send or receive friend requests.
Facebook business accounts are easy to set up. You could literally be up and running in no time. Are you ready to… Continue reading
Facebook Pages v. Google+ Pages
Google+ is becoming a very popular platform. It’s no secret that Google developed Google+ as a way to rival Facebook. So how do they compare? Well in all actuality they do not compare. While they may seem similar in nature they are two totally different platforms. So then why set up a Google+ Page? Well the obvious would be to take advantage of Google’s SEO aspect but you also want to hit that target demographic that just avoids Facebook as much as possible. With so many Facebook changes, and not all of them positive, some people are avoiding Facebook like the plague.
While people on Facebook “like” a page. The truth is people get busy and eventually you can forget about that page and it will disappear into the abyss. So unless you intentionally seek that page out again on a consistent basis you won’t remain on top of hat’s going on with them. That’s a lot of time devoted to searching your favorite pages. Not to mention it seems that many people are losing faith in Facebook and consider it going downhill just as MySpace seemed to fade into the background.
It seems that Google+ and LinkedIn are actually… Continue reading

Google+ Pages can be a powerful marketing tool for your business. Setting up your business page can be confusing but if you want to make the most out of this page then keep these things in mind:
