Facebook, give our client their page back!

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

So here is what happened. We, Fat Atom Internet Marketing (fatatom.com), did a Facebook fan page for one of our clients. The site took off like a rocket, hit almost 50,000 fans, and then we wake up one day to find Facebook had taken the page down. They sent no warning, had already validated our page, and offered no explanation later. We sent support requests to Facebook for almost 2 weeks, everyday, afterward, and they have yet to get back with us. Thousands of dollars were spent on this campaign, and now they are all gone.

We think it is very irresponsible of Facebook, who is still young in the professional world, to treat paying customers like this. Facebook is a great place to grow your business online, but behavior like this is downright terrifying. Business need to have confidence that they are safe investing money in Facebook.

We created this video to express our frustration and confusion.

If you have had this happen to you, please leave a comment and help us spread this video around the web!

MySpace is dead… the Prostitutes and MLM’ers have left.

Monday, July 27th, 2009

MySpace has been struggling against the ever growing popularity of Facebook, but I believe the real “last nail in the coffin” is coming from Twitter. MySpace used to pummel my inbox with “friends” I have never met, but apparently found me irresistibly sexually attractive. I was beginning to think I had lost that cyber-sex appeal as my MySpace spam trickled to a stop. Lo and behold, my inbox has once again began filling with pleas from girls who desperately wanted to meet me. This time it wasn’t from MySpace… it was from Twitter. It was at this point I realized, MySpace is dead.

Yes, like rats leaving a sinking ship, all the cyber-sex prostitutes, multi-level marketing scammers, male enhancement salesmen, and all other species of spammers are bailing out of their MySpace strategies and have moved on to Twitter. I don’t know what kind of official projection statistics have been done regarding the amount of spam and the growing success of a social media website have been done, but its solid enough evidence for me.

My own MySpace page friends list has dwindled to almost nothing as even my real friends are focusing on Facebook. I hardly ever visit it, and sorry Tom, but your just not worth it. (I never liked you anyway). While I am sure MySpace’s remaining loyal followers, independent punk rock groups and pedophiles, will keep it trudging along for a couple years, it seems clear to me it’s days are numbered.

While I am sure many will disagree with my incredibly scientific analysis, MySpace needs to think of something Facebook and Twitter haven’t thought of yet to attract users back. In the meantime, I will be sticking with Facebook and Twitter where I find real people actively participating and random anonymous women still think I am “hot and sexy”.

Use Twitter to Run Your Business

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

twitterLot’s of people are using Twitter to grow their business, have you thought about using Twitter to RUN your business?

A lot of businesses need to keep up-to-date on what their team members are doing, and what their progress is.  The solution for this is usually a complicated and time consuming project management software package.  These project management programs often require users to go through many clicks and menus just to post an update on a project.

Why not just tweet instead?  Many companies buy their employees company cell phones, and most cell phones can now run a twitter program of some sort (or heck, can just send text messages to Twitter).  Instead of using complicated software, just setup a group of private Twitter accounts.  This way, team members working on a project can just “tweet” short updates from their cell phones whenever they have a spare moment.

While some business need more information than what Twitter can provide, most do not.  Most project managers or small business owners just need a way to check in and see what everyone is doing.  Instead of waiting money and man-hours on complicated software, Twitter may be just what you need!

I HATE KEEPING ALL MY SOCIAL NETWORKS UPDATED!!!!

I know I have to do it, but I hate it…. BUT WAIT! There is GOOD NEWS!

Did you know you can use a website called Ping.fm to update all your social network statuses at once? It’s great, and it support just about every major social networking platform you need: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc.

Just head over to http://ping.fm/ and take a look for yourself. A few minute setting up your account can save you hours of headaches later on. You can keep your friends (and digital acquaintances) connected without ever letting them know you really have better things to do (ha ha!).
