Last time, I was talking about KONY 2012 and the power of the web. This week my subject matter is Facebook; one of the key factors in creating the riot surrounding the KONY 2012 campaign. The all-powerful social network is launching it’s Facebook Timeline for Pages. So, what does it mean for businesses and brands?

Unsurprisingly for such a radical overhaul (and the switch from the old-style wall format is just that), Facebook Timeline for Pages has brought howls of protest from some. However, while the changeover may cause a few ripples as people adjust, overall I think it’s a …

Just before Christmas I blogged about Google Ad Planner and how it can be the difference between online advertising success and failure. Well, this week, I want to talk about AdWords Remarketing, a tool business websites can use to further develop and improve online advertising campaigns.

Another week, another Google business application launch. I talked about the unveiling of Google Analytics Real-Time and what it means for tracking business website performance in October and this week, the company has announced the introduction of Google+ Business Pages.

This move comes as no surprise (the only surprise perhaps being that it hadn’t happened sooner) as Google continues in its attempt to create a social network on the scale of Facebook.
