People often complain about the privacy settings on Facebook, they are too open, people say. It’s true that the default settings pretty much allow anyone [...]

By Gerry Grant On January 22, 2013 · Comments

I’m about to go on a rant. You might not like it, but tough, it has to be said.

How many people have seen a post like this on Facebook?

 

All of you? Thought so.

Well let’s just take a step back and really look at this. First up, I go on Facebook [...]

By Gerry Grant On August 14, 2012 · Comments

In the past it was always easy for a business to segment its communication with the outside world. When they had a new product, service or special offer, the sales and marketing team got to work and fired up the creative juices to create an innovative ad campaign, when something went wrong the PR team [...]

Do your Kids use Facebook?

By Gerry Grant On July 3, 2012 · Comments

Regardless of what we think of social networks, there’s little doubt that they are here to stay. Will Facebook , Twitter and the likes still be here in five years?

Do Facebook ads work?

By Gerry Grant On May 16, 2012 · Comments

General Motors have pulled $10 million worth of paid advertising from Facebook as they believe that they don’t work. I’ve heard and read many other people say that Facebook ads aren’t worth spending money on and that they no longer pay attention to the adverts that are displayed on their newsfeed. There have even been [...]

Twitter is just nonsense!

By Gerry Grant On May 15, 2012 · Comments

Twitter now has 10 million active users in the UK and that equates to about one in six of the population. What’s really interesting though is the fact that 80% of these users are accessing Twitter on a mobile device.
