Your Marketing and Design Reading for The Weekend

As someone who is a little nervous about commenting on others' blog posts, this was a great list of suggestions. I would assume it is best to use my own name versus that of my company's and that actually reading the post is required. But I had no idea I should have at least three sentences in my comments.

New Facebook Feature Lets Page Admins Post as Themselves, Not Their Brand

Building on the previous article, this one is about one of those "duh" features. It makes you wonder why we didn't have this ability before. Well, you actually could post as yourself but you had to go to the admin section to select the option. Now you just have to click on the little arrow head in the upper right corner.

The social media platform that makes my life easier, rather than changing things constantly, is the one that I'm betting on to win in the long run. Is it wrong to wonder whether anybody actually asks users what they want?
