Facebook penalizes pages that have negative reviews

23 May 2019

For more than two months, Facebook has begun to penalize business pages that have negative reviews. And because there are not yet any articles written in English (from where our local social media experts can translate from), I suspect they have begun to apply it only in a few countries, not globally. And it’s a […]

The power of the media and the future of Facebook

6 December 2018

You know when a Facebook exec told a room full of journalists that Mark Zuckerberg is not a big fan of the press and it does not care for it? This recent year, with Facebook scandal after scandal really made us understand why Zuck hates the press: scandal after scandal, stupid move after stupid move, […]

Why is Mark Zuckerberg acting like a robot

11 April 2018

We all laugh at how weird and stupid Zuckerberg acts, from his robotic moves to his weird water drinking. One thing we are all forgetting: this guy hasn’t had a normal life. At 19, he started a million dollar company, took several tens of millions of dollars as investments and build a billion dollar company. […]

Influencers beg Facebook for money

9 April 2018

Nice piece in NYTimes about how Facebook does not share revenue with people putting up (come create, some steal it from Youtube) engaging content on their platform. IT attracts views, it does not make any money. I like it how influencers love this platform, because it has much more people on it than YouTube, but […]

Why Facebook wants to host the news

26 March 2015

NYT reports. There are two explanations, both of them simple as pie: As I have said before, people need stuff to consume, that is why all sorts of people buy all kinds of newspapers, in an attempt to keep them afloat. All of them remember the time the internet was dry of information: no Wikipedia, […]

Ok, Facebook, let’s play this game…

10 December 2013

44% decrease in reach for all Facebook pages. WOW! Just wow. Ok, everybody understands that Facebook has the right to do whatever it likes and it has worked hard to gather people on the site. But the pages have worked hard to gather likes and create interesting conversations. And from the user’s point of view: […]

2013 in Romanian Social Media

1 July 2013

The year started really good. There are a few directions I have noticed going on: Companies moving away from the “like and share” model, as they find out likes do not translate into sales. The smart ones (Coca Cola, Milka) started experimenting with content created for social media. Companies still chasing the like and share […]

What does “direct access” mean

9 June 2013

You’ve read all the incoherent babble about PRISM and how the American Government has access to data from Google, Yahoo, Facebook and others. Of course, everybody denies it, saying they do not provide direct access to their servers. Of course. What good would do to the government if they had root on 10, 100, 100.000 […]

Facebook mobile targeting

6 May 2013

Never played any game on Facebook or Yahoo. Never liked a game page. And still, 90% of the ads Facebook shows me on my iPhone and iPad are of games. Because, if I never played anything I sure do want to. Flawless Logic.

Stupid ideas

6 May 2013

Dustin Curtis looks back at two ideas he thought were stupid when he heard them and turned out to be great. Happens a lot. Right now a lot of people are thinking the same about Google Glass, but they are not saying it, because it might turn out to be a huge hit, despite being […]
