IT IS A FACEBOOK WORLD

Duda Owner IONOS • January 31, 2014

Trends and demographics are always important in any context. Social media is one context in which trends and demographics are especially important. Not understanding this area has the potential to harm you personally and professionally. Your company’s awareness, advertising, marketing, public relations, and growth potential can suffer.

Reflecting on 2013, Belle Beth Cooper (Cofounder of Hello Code) shares three amazing statistics about Facebook that all organizations need to consider:

1—23% of Facebook users check their accounts at least five times daily.

2—80% of Facebook users prefer to connect with brands on Facebook.

3—One million Web sites have integrated with Facebook.

These facts make it clear that if you want your business to enjoy maximum exposure, then it definitely must have a Facebook presence. Facebook is to branding what Google is to searching. For the business owner, it is a Facebook world. Love it or hate it, you are going to have to like it.

A BETTER WORD THAN HONESTY

By James Meadows • August 9, 2023

We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy. I call the overuse or inappropriate use of these words in this context HONESTY VALIDATORS because the speaker believes they validate the truth being spoken. We need a solution to this problem. My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
