This week I have spent a significant amount of time setting up new cover images and sorting timelines, apps and other admin sections of customers Facebook business pages. Whilst I love the majority of the new options the sheer obstructive nature of Facebook has annoyed me more and more. Oh and did I mention bugs in the title? Riddled with them!
At one point after trying to upload a profile image 6 times I gave up… went away and made a cup of coffee, came back and there it was as if nothing weird had been happening at all. Also with all these new and improved features why oh why does Facebook still not realise that there are people outside the USA using it, and therefore don’t want to put their price in as $’s or have full stops put in their telephone numbers. But the most annoying of all, when did Facebook decide that the about us section of a business page will not actually be about us unless we change the category to something innocuous like ‘company’ rather than the reality which is many of our customers are hotels. Just sheer frustration all week.
However, I do like to end on a positive note – the ability to change the images on the apps is a welcome addition, as is the ability to pin and highlight posts but why do I get the impression Facebook are giving with one hand and taking away with the other?
Anyone else feel a rant coming on that they would like to share?
