I have been with the company fewer years, but promoted twice and my ski […]
- The Ultimate Resource List: The Difference Between a Facebook Group and a Facebook PageFacebook is pretty big, if I do so say myself. A number of ministries and businesses have already jumped in and begun leveraging it for their organization. One of the inevitable questions that arise is whether or not one should use a Facebook “Groupâ€� or a Facebook “Pageâ€� for their ministry, because they are certainly different! Instead of re-inventin […]
