My Facebook tragedy and where to report Facebook bugs

Jason Coleman — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:49:13 +0000

I recently had an issue with a new Facebook page. I created a new page to have for interacting with friends who may have interest in Melaleuca and its benefits for your home and home business. I have a website that deals with this, but if you’re not on Facebook, you’re missing out on so many social possibilities that it could hurt your business. After I created the page, Facebook asked me to invite friends to get the page started. One of the ways to do this was by importing an email address list. I had a good email address list from Gmail and decided to import it and invite folks on that list. That’s exactly what I did. In doing so, I come to find out later through friends who are on that list that some of them received that invite in their email anywhere from 6 to 12 times! That’s enough to make anybody not want to “like” my new page wouldn’t you think. I know if I received a bunch of emails like that, I’d certainly not follow through even if it was a friend. Alas, I picked up no new “likes” on the page from that email invite process. Gotta love it when a friendly process actually shoots you in the foot.

Anyway, after sorting through “known bug issues” on Facebook’s site and noodling through all the time-wasting topics that didn’t apply, I finally found an area where you can report Facebook bugs. You can go here and report your specific bug. Of course Facebook basically says in it’s disclaimer that they don’t get to answer all email and it’s likely they’ll never do anything about it, but at least you have done your part in reporting the issue as it is. Now I’m not one of those people who feels like I have a right to use Facebook and they have to provide me with everything I want. If you use a service like this, you should expect errors and issues like any other piece of software. So, if you are one of those people, get off your high horse and thank Facebook for helping you find all your old high school classmates.

Business Listing Service Recommendation

Jason Coleman — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:17:51 +0000

Hey folks,
I’m signed up with a company called Thumbtack that provides a quality referral service free for businesses.
Check it out Here —> http://www.thumbtack.com/welcome?refer=kdb4b5vv4AeTWQ

They help you regularly post to Craigslist as well if you have filled in your profile with their network. You are regularly contacted via email for other ways to boost your visibility with their service. If anything else, it’s worth a try to get another part of your marketing spiderweb out there attracting business.

It’s a sick world out there folks

Jason Coleman — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:20:23 +0000

It’s a horrible world out there folks. If you think you can let your kids out of your site for any reason in a public place…here’s a little dose of reality:

It’s never too early to teach your kids about strangers! Some preschools do it, but you cannot rely on them. Make sure to teach your kids about this. By the way, you should never be in a public place and not be able to see your kids…period. Not safe!

If you have a great way of teaching your kids safety or you just want to share the way you teach your kids, please leave a comment below this post for everyone to see.

Protect intellectual property without screwing up the internet as a whole…can the government really pull that off? Let’s hope so…

Cable stops our pleasure yet again

Jason Coleman — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:31:29 +0000

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but in the Nashville market of Comcast, they have initiated some horrible functions. I’m now prevented from fast forwarding through on demand TV shows. Cable needs to find another way to provide advertisers value and still allow viewers to see what they prefer to see. How come YouTube has figured this out and Comcast is still fumbling around trying to catch up?

Retail Love/Hate Relationship

Jason Coleman — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:33:10 +0000

Shopping at Target picking up some items. While I was there I walked by at least 6 employees who were not speaking English. Then I noticed Christmas items are here already! Then as I was heading to check out and there was a cashier with pink hair (male). Then as I was checking out with a different cashier, she didn’t say one single word to me. On top of all that, most of what was in my purchase was not made in the U.S.A. I think the OWS people should be more concentrated on buying American goods so they save more jobs rather than camping out for jobs. I’m just sayin’!
