oy! I really dislike the layout of this story! It would be so much easier to read if presented as a regular text article with photos instead of this annoying one-imageat-a-time-clicking-situation or (worse!) slideshow!

For people who use Facebook for killing time, they are not aware of these tools and they don't care too. And for hardcore Social Media Marketers , they are aware of most these stuffs . And Indeed this articles bring these hidden gems in light. Thanks for the article. Adma Maharjan, Community Manager, Simplify36 0 (www.simplify36 0.com)

@Kathy Cranston It must be. I also judge anyone who just goes on Facebook to procrastinate. There's the rest of the more interesting internet out there.
