Facebook has just announced a change to Pages that will make it clear to admins which other admins posted certain content on the page’s behalf. The changes are set to go into effect on February 20th and will not be retroactive.
“Starting on February 20, the names of admins will show next to their posts and comments. This will be visible to anyone with an admin role on your Page,” says Facebook in a pop-up post at the top of pages.
Here’s a little bit of additional clarification from Facebook:
It has been ten years since Mean Girls starring Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan was first released in theaters. As hard as it is to believe that it has been a decade since we first heard the terms “fugly” and “slam book”–and even harder to believe that we’ve all aged that much–it has been ten years indeed.
It’s well-known anecdotally that horror can bring people together. A scary movie or haunted house trip can bring couples and friends closer than most communal activities as people cling to each other out of fear. It turns out, however, that such a strategy might also work for brands.
As the opening ceremonies begin for the winter Olympics in Sochi today, reports of a person trying to hijack a plane and take it to the games are beginning to circulate.
Apparently, one of the passengers on Pegasus Airlines said there was a bomb on board that was located in the overhead baggage area, and afterwards the hijacker demanded the pilot fly the plane to Sochi, Russia, instead of its intended destination of Turkey. And the demand was made when the aircraft was still in the air.
Whether you think it’s a great business tool or you think it’s killing your business, Yelp appears to be unstoppable, and continues to grow substantially. This week, the company released its earnings report for the fourth quarter and full year 2013, and revealed that cumulative reviews have grown 47% from the same time the previous year to 53 million, while average unique monthly visitors grew 39% to 120 million. Active local business accounts grew a whopping 69%.
Rosie O’Donnell returned to “The View” on Friday morning after seven years and admitted it was strange to be back at the table. While it was a different dynamic this time around–Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who famously had words with O’Donnel several times on the show, wasn’t there to cause tension–O’Donnell did have a moment of disagreement with Barbara Walters, with whom she’s already buried at least one hatchet.
First Look Media, the journalism venture led by former Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, has announced that it will launch its first digital magazine next week. The magazine, which will be the first in a series of single-topic online publications from First Look, will focus on Edward Snowden’s NSA leaks. Greenwald, journalist and filmmaker Laura Poitras and The Nation's former national security correspondent, Jeremy Scahill, will oversee editorial operations.
Marketers are officially obsessed with trying to frighten the world-weary populace of New York City. Following the recent devil baby and zombie stunts, here's footage of the Chobani bear—an animatronic version of the real bear in the Super Bowl commercial—ambushing people in Manhattan, knocking over a hot dog stand and generally hamming it up. These videos are pretty funny, but I'd like to see New Yorkers fight instead of just whipping out their phones to take a picture.
Try to follow this. Icann, the international organization that has begun to roll out hundreds of new generic top level domains over the objections of brands worried about domain abuse, is now warning brands that they are at risk of domain abuse. At the end of last month, the first of what will be hundreds of new domains (suffixes to the right of the dot in a url, like .guru, .photography) went live, adding to the more commonly-known domains like .com and .net.
