What associations need to know about Facebook’s new political content rules

06.13.2018 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Ah Facebook…always looking for new/better ways to be transparent and to protect our security. That’s why they’ve implemented this…oh, sorry, that’s not it–that’s just the billionth time they “accidentally” changed users’ sharing settings to public. Last week. But they’re sorry, obvi, because they a whole commercial promising that they’re going to do better to protect […]

What Associations Need to Know About Facebook’s API Changes

07.20.2017 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Ah, Facebook–that social network I love to hate, even though my career kind of depends on using it. For those of us in the association and nonprofit sectors, Facebook just got a lot harder to use effectively with the announcement that they’ve changed their API and eliminated the ability to modify link previews when posting […]

What’s Your Post-Facebook Social Media Strategy?

03.19.2014 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

People have been saying it for a while, and this week voices seem to be getting louder about it: it’s only a matter of time until Facebook is pay-to-play only. First this, then this, now this….I won’t take up your whole day, but I could probably keep adding links talking about Facebook’s declining organic reach […]

Donations Through Facebook? I’d Think Twice About That

12.17.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Big news yesterday: Facebook announced their new Donate feature. You know, because Facebook cares tons about nonprofits, right? Historically, Facebook hasn’t given a crap about nonprofits. I’ve been managing Facebook pages for associations and nonprofits for over five years now and I can tell you that Facebook could not care less about helping nonprofits. Are […]

What You Need to Know About Facebook’s News Feed Changes

08.12.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

(This post originally appeared on Socialfish)  Facebook page admins take note: just when you thought you’d figured out Facebook’s EdgeRank algorithm, they’ve changed the game and the way News Feed works. That’s the good news, because I’m sorry but anything that requires multiple infographics to explain it is just wrong. However, as Facebook flips back and forth […]

My Experience With Facebook Ads. And, Shocker, it Wasn’t Good.

10.03.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

We all know by now that I am no fan of Facebook. Privacy “glitches,” constant changes, total lack of regard for what users want, no accountability to anyone….those are just a few of the reasons I hate Facebook. Of course I realize I’m a total hypocrite because despite these fails, I continue to use the […]

Facebook Ignores User Settings AGAIN and Opts Everyone Back into Group Email Notifications

09.10.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Have you spent all weekend wondering why your email inbox was full of notifications from Facebook groups? Notifications you swear you had previously turned off, but now seem to have been re-activated? Well, you’re not alone, and you’re not imagining things–Facebook did indeed just do one of their famous “we let you control your experience […]

Why Facebook Can’t be Trusted to Care About Kids’ Safety

07.01.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I haven’t yet written about Facebook’s recent announcement that they are developing technology that would allow children younger than 13 years old to use the site under parental supervision. I’ve been thinking about it, though, and what a joke it is that anyone is depending on Facebook to look out for the interests of kids, and […]

Please Don’t do a Facebook Contest Without Educating Yourself First

06.03.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

 Over the past year I’ve seen more and more small businesses using Facebook to promote their products and services. Because, as everyone knows, Facebook is magic and all you need to do is set up a page and BAM–sales start pouring in, right? Sigh. I won’t even go there, but honestly, in one regard I […]

Facebook Fails are Mounting

05.08.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Despite the media frenzy over Facebook’s impending IPO, all isn’t 100% rosy for Facebook. Two things I’ve recently read  highlight what I consider to be pretty big fails on Facebook’s part, and, were I considering investing in Facebook (which I never in a million years would do), would give me pause: Social Readers are collapsing. Wow, “frictionless […]
