Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?

I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it

just thought I’d mention that I have liked several fan pages that do not advertise and that I do not click to regularly and they appear in my feed every day. I also get all my family – I know this because I usually click on the Family button to be sure and yep, already saw them in my feed. Lord knows I get all kinds of posts from people I friended that I’m not actually friends with (for instance, high school/college folks with whom I share nothing except that history). Not sure why I’m the only one out there getting all the posts all the time. I have to agree with Jason above – it seems this isn’t a change, it’s just a reality check. “you can’t reach people when they’re not sitting at their computers.” I might add “logged into Facebook” to his line.

So is this the end of Facebook, the behmoth?
And what is the point of having a fan page on WANA? Isn’t it just for artists (not that artists aren’t also readers)? I’m looking for a way to reach readers who aren’t also writers. Already nearly all of my followers on Twitter are writers. My blog is directed at writers (so I’m shooting myself in the foot with that) as well. Facebook seems to be the only place where I can reach readers who aren’t writers.
Thank you for this great post (and all your other posts as well, I always learn something here). I’ve linked to it on my website and my FB page.

Please sign the petition I started to Mark Z. asking him to change this and allow all fans of a Page to see that Page’s posts on their news feeds without the Page owner having to pay: http://tinyurl.com/FreeAllFBPagePosts. If enough people sign, he may do something to change it. He has done so in the past.

I expect that Facebook may sink itself from the burden of hundreds of well-deserved lawsuits. Then, they’ll sell the vast data mining treasure trove to another company and/or the government. Zuckerburg is arrogant and that culture trickles down. He deserves to be taken down a few pegs.

Posted today on George Takei’s FB Timeline:

George Takei
FB used to allow fans to elect to see ALL posts by selecting “All Updates” from the right hand corner of a post. For community pages such as this, though, FB recently decided that only certain fans will see certain posts, and it plans to ask me to pay for more fan views.

I understand that FB has to make money, especially now that it is public, but in my view this development turns the notion of “fans” on its head. So I encourage all friends and fans to visit my page regularly to make sure they share in all the fun.
