I know it’s been a while since I posted on my blog, but I just started a new job as “Social Media Consultant” at Creative Media Alliance , a really cool  group of talented folks.

So, back to our main subject, Facebook & it’s privacy policy’s saga. We all know that the company has been sharing some (maybe a little more than that) information about it’s users with Pandora and Microsoft.  This got some of us really worried about  privacy.

I do understand where is Facebook coming from, As CEO Mark Zuckerberg pronounced this week, “If people share more, the world will become more open and connected. And a world that’s more open and connected is a better world.” this announcement proves that Facebook is pushing more & more towards public sharing, but why?

Well, Facebook is getting into location based services, it will be competing with services like foursquare and others ,which will require users to share more personal information to be able to use the service.

Love it or hate it, it looks like Facebook is going ahead with the changes despite all the cries from worried users.

I think this say it all. I’ve always believed that we as men, really don’t pay too much attention to details, I know this will make a lot of men upset, but who cares!

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind , She
hated everyone , except her loving boyfriend , He was always
there for her , She told her boyfriend , ( If I could only see
the world , I will marry you )

One day , someone donated a pair of eyes to her , When the bandages came off , she was able to see everything , including her
boyfriend.

*********

He asked her : (Now that you can see the world , will you marry me ?)
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind too , The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her , She hadn’t expected that , The thought of looking at them the rest of her life , led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears , Days later wrote a note to her saying :
( Take good care of your eyes , my dear , for before they were yours , they were mine )

*********

This is how the human brain often works , when our status changes ,
Only a very few remember what life was like before , and who was always by their side in the most painful situations .

*********

Today before you say an unkind word – Think of someone who can’t
speak.

*********

Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone
who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone 
who’s crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went
too early to heaven.

*********

Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job.

*********

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on
your face and think: you’re alive.

What is this have to do with online marketing, well, what you think?

Google announced that the iPad is now part of the mobile device options in AdWords.

If you want your ad campaigns to appear on the iPad, you will have to select “all mobile devices” in your campaign settings. This can be found under the “Networks and devices” section.  you can also use the “All available devices” default setting.

This tells us how important mobile devices are going to be for search and marketing, is your company ready for it?
