The Facebook Updates that Effected Businesses

Facebook is going for it. For what? More changes, of course. I’ve been a member of Facebook since 2008, and I’ve seen all the changes since then. I don’t run a business, but I do have a page created for a class and another for personal use that I am the only admin of (it’s really not hard when you have few likes). The changes, as pointed out on SociallyStacked, can affect businesses on Facebook in different ways, some good and some bad, others may have no obvious effect at first, but they will at some point.

The new “edit post” option is quite useful. Any mistakes you make while typing on your phone (which has that ever faithful auto correct) can be edited to make sense or fix a word that auto correct changed.

Another change they made was with the insight feature pages have. You can now see who is interested in your page and talking about it in their posts. It is pretty helpful if you need to see how many people are looking at your page each day. They’ve also changed the ad system, making it objective based and you only see things that Facebook deems relevant to you, even though that doesn’t actually work very well in the end.

Facebook will now inform those you try to message your page if their message will go to the other inbox. They’ll know, but you probably won’t until you look at your other box. The last thing Facebook decided to change is the graph. It now includes your posts and status updates in the searchable option. People can now search for your post and find it at they need it, no problem (unless someone has the exact same content as you).

Facebook’s updates are, somewhat, frequent and can have major affects on businesses and their pages, but it can be used to their advantage and put them over other businesses with the same services.

Coding: What We Should Know

The word coding, when used in context involving websites, can make some people turn tail and run as far away as possible. It sounds intimidating, but creators of websites such as Twitter and Facebook are making a move to prove it’s not, and to get it into schools so students can learn how to code. Coding is actually quite simple, as will be explained in the video.

The video, at the end of the post, shows many website creators, such as Mark Zuckerberg, talking about coding, why they do it, where they see it going, and explaining why people need to learn to do coding. Everything is being run by computers nowadays, no one can deny that. People need to learn how to do coding, it’s helpful no doubt. With the world turning to computers for numerous careers, we need to learn how to do this.
