Now you got 4 likes!
Now I know about your company. Now I see a centralized content and identify a bit of character and what your company looks at. Also, what your company wants me to know they look at.
What else is cool? …"

"It looks like right now, Facebook is handling the reports. Hopefully they'll give those rights to the admins."
Nicholas Grettler commented on Bj Strawter's blog post Social Media: Facebook asks the community for edits"Fire away Facebook. As long as they give the venue the ability to report or refute debunk reports. Maybe replicate the imfamous Yelp algorithm that sifts through reviews.

Social Media for Restaurants: Facebook Page Comments
Listen, and listen up good. Do not, I repeat, do not delete comments and tags on your companies Facebook page. If you don't know what being "tagged" means, it's when a fan updates their status and adds your company name via an @ (at) reply. The comment then shows on your fan page. Pictures tell stories. See picture below.I get it.…See More

Social Media: Facebook asks the community for edits
Facebook is constantly changing. For some changes they hold conferences. For others they are so subtle you would miss them if you weren't paying attention. This is one of them. Facebook is going the way of crowd sourcing to improve their Pages. I noticed this yesterday:While visiting a page a popup message asked "Tell us more. Add your knowledge to this community".

Non-OperatorBj Strawter commented on Scott Hume's blog post Five Lessons to Learn From McRib
"Nice article Scott. I agree that the McRib is mysterious. In being such, McDonalds get all kinds of free publicity every time they offer it. Rolling it out nationally is not a bad thing, considering it is for a limited time only. Thanks for taking…"

Social Media: Simplicity is the name of the game

You spend a lot of time brainstorming how to engage your customers. You finally get them to Facebook, then proceed to divide their attention by giving them 5 or more tabs to choose from. Not only that, but each tab has multiple actions required.
Remember the old adage, keep it simple.
To get the most out of your Facebook page you need fans. Considering the average Facebook fan page has less than 100 likes, how do you do this? Some simple… Continue
Our restaurant doesn't need a website...

Really? No call out here. Let's just say I've heard those words recently. And it wasn't the first time.
