Today Facebook released a minor change to the way they do things. Well at first glance it seems minor but when you look closer it is HUGE!

At first glance, they have changed the way people join Fan Pages. Before, you would click a button that says “become a fan” and now it is changed to “like”. They say it is lighter and consistent with the language they use elsewhere on Facebook. That’s true.

Dr EvilBut when you look closer, this is just the beginning of something huge, something that will change the way we use social media….something that moves Facebook one step closer to World Domination (Cue Austin Powers sinister Dr Evil music).

Okay so that may seem pretty dramatic but it is pretty exciting. Let me give you an outline of what they are doing, what I think it means and some useful links for you to learn more.

I’ll also share why some people see this as an evil plot and why (at the moment) I think it is pretty cool. Read more

OK so I’m hanging out in Phuket Club Med with my family enjoying the prize I won for my award as Australian Marketer of The Year but I have a message to share with you. Firstly, how you can win the chance for an all-expenses paid holiday for 2 in Club Med, Phuket paid for by me. Secondly, I share my concept of “The 4th Win” which is the test I apply to my marketing that won the praise of the judges when they chose me as the winner. This concept has the power to  take your business to the next level so you can afford the money (and time) to fly to Phuket yourself. Love to know what you think.
