Why You Need to be Concerned About the Latest Facebook API Changes to Link Posts

January 26, 2024July 19, 2017 by Anita Kirkbride

Facebook has implemented a major change to its API that many small businesses are just discovering this week. If you came here because you can’t change the photo on a link post you’re trying to share on Facebook, it’s not a glitch…it’s permanent. Facebook announced you will no longer be able to change the metadata attached to a link post on Facebook. If you’re posting links to other people’s articles on Facebook, there’s not a whole lot you can do about this. However, if you want and expect people to be posting links from YOUR website, there are a few things you need to do.

March 24, 2020March 2, 2017 by Anita Kirkbride

When Facebook began, businesses and charities had no choice but to set up a “profile” if they wanted to interact with others as their brand. Today, you have several choices available. However I still receive invitations to “friend” charities and to join groups for local businesses.

May 31, 2016May 18, 2016 by Anita Kirkbride

Facebook events are a great way to spread the word about your in-person and virtual events. Putting your information up and allowing your fans to show their interest and share the event, exposes you to a whole new audience that may not have had access to your information before.

Social Media Myths Busted

March 12, 2020December 19, 2014 by Anita Kirkbride

I have come to understand that you only understand that which you have an express interest in understanding.

Similarly, many small business owners simply do not have the express interest in truly understanding the complexities of social media. Some simply want it to bring in the money and others just want someone else to handle it. This leads to a lot of misunderstanding about social media in general. Here are some of my favourite social media myths.
