The latest thing for Facebook pages is Facebook places which at first sounds cool because you can have folks check in at your locations and you can give them specials that they then can share with their friends when they redeem them, However! The way that Facebook has designed this function is less than desirable. It plops a big map at the top of your page and puts your news and other links and posts almost out of sight when fans come to your page to see what’s new.
It also makes creating a note on the page almost impossible as it makes you jump through 3 different hoops to get to the right spot.
I recommend waiting until Facebook redesigns this particular ap before you “Claim” your Facebook place.
How about it? Is the picture you use in social networking or on the “about me” page on your website an accurate representation of what you actually look like? I know most of us are our own worst critics and we don’t want to scare folks away, but you seriously MUST use a photo that people can recognize you from if you are ever going to have “real life” interactions with them as customers, clients or mentors. To have a meet and greet at a coffee shop and have them sit there two feet away and not recognize you does nothing for your credibility as an honest professional.
