Return to Facebook

Today I have made my return to the social media heavy-weight; Facebook. Based on previous posts you might find this hard to believe or maybe the writing was on the wall.

Recently our Facebook expert at work moved onto new challenges and suddenly I was the person they turned to with a question about the site. I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about and therefore couldn't answer them. That was the first moment that made me think that I should stop ignoring Facebook as it was now offering a new learning opportunity as a digital marketer.

Then today I was listening to the Facebook announcement about their updated News Feed and I saw a lot of potential as a digital marketer. My first thought was that it resembled Google+ quite a bit, which is a format I really like, and the second thought was that my current knowledge of Facebook is going to be 100% useless now. Best to get back on the wagon.

So bottom line I reactivated my account and started rebuilding my friend list. Who was the first person I added? Our previous Facebook expert of course: Shaminda Attygalle - Host of the Digital Marketing Lounge. I can't wait to begin understanding Facebook again for Marketing purposes and for keeping up-to-date with family and friends.

What do others think of the updated News Feed? How many social sites should one be on?
