In a new interview, Facebook specialist Loren Bartley of social media consultancy, Impactiv8, we learn that companies should not be asking “What do I want to tell my customers?” but rather “What do my customers want to know?” There are over one billion people worldwide using Facebook. In Australia alone, 2/3 of the population over the age of 13 is active on Facebook. Facebook has become first thing people check when they wake up, and the last thing they look at before they go to sleep.
