Baaaa-aaaa-aaaah!
I need to get something off my chest. Inhale… Exhale… OK, here goes. WE ARE MORONS! OK, maybe that’s a little harsh. But honestly, why are so many people so willing to blindly trust whatever they hear, whatever they see on TV, and whatever they read… even when they read it on Facebook?

Newsflash: I’m Simply Brilliant!
So, about an hour after my last post was published (“Why Facebook is going away“), CNBC posted an article called “Facebook Will Disappear in 5 to 8 Years: Analyst”.

Timeline Tip #6: Tabs and Apps
We used to have custom tabs on our Facebook Pages, where we could post custom content, sort of like a mini website. Well, those custom tabs still exist, but Facebook now refers to them as Apps. (To be fair, they always were apps, or at least that’s how they were created, but I digress.) In the photo above, you can …
