Our clients have begun adopting the optional Facebook Business Page update that is touted to enable us to make use of:
Notifications when fans interact with your page or posts
A place to showcase photos along the top of your page
A news feed for your page
The ability to Like and post on other pages as your page
Some early comments:
just went to the new FB profile for the site’s page and it is not showing the six photos of people who have liked the page recently.
and…
any insights into why the page is showing posts out of date order?
I’ll be looking at it this afternoon, and our professionals will update a couple of others we run including our own so we’ll get to see what it does. Since it is a new upgrade, I would expect it to be “buggy”, those things are probably beyond our control, but should be cleared up as FB brings it out to the wider populace; all pages will be automatically be upgraded on March 10.
Right now the upgrade is optional, and since you opted for it you’ve found a couple of bugs, next time you’re logged in, try and contact FB or submit feedback about your experience. That’s why they make it optional is so that early adopters try it and let them know how it works out.

Don’t over look this for your business! Here’s why:

Netflix and Cablevision are taking seats at the table of the influential S&P 500, one of the standards by which we (macro) measure American progress in general and day-to-day transactional news.
To free these seats, the following companies are being asked to quietly pick up their chips and move to a less infamous table.
Office Depot Inc
New York Times Co
Eastman Kodak Co
Newspapers giving way to cable distribution, no surprise given people have shown a definite preference for entertainment-news rather than traditional journalism.
And Netflix, one of my own darlings, taking the seat from an office supply chain that, I guess, can’t match Quill and Staples.
When kids want to be musicians, they might dream of adoring fans, incredible talent to move crowds of thousands or even the rowdy lifestyle of a rock band or hip-hop group.
(note: Links above contain images of rock not suitable for those who have recently had heart surgery or whose children are watching.)
But I want to recognize the band Jars of Clay for reaching their goal to bring clean water to 1,000 African villages.
Doing good should always be recognized, and when we achieve wealth and status to enable us to advocate good works, I hope each of us remember to put our money towards doing good works that benefits our community, our cities, our states and country and our world.
