25 Twitter accounts corporate communicators should follow. Facebooks-latest-redesign-and-functionality-updates. Considering that 65% of online adults use social sites and that as many as 34% of women check Facebook before having their first cup of joe, chances are that you’ve noticed the UI changes and feature updates that Facebook has, once again, made this week.
Judging by the initial backlash seen in status updates around the globe, many folks aren't pleased with another round of changes. I even have to admit to initially feeling a little "put out" about having to familiarize myself with yet another round of Facebook upgrades as it feels like there has been one a week lately. But the truth is that all things change. The world is a different place everyday; businesses of all kinds need to keep up. And thus…sites evolve.
