Facebook:  all grown-up & ready to do business . . .  you? 
Hard to believe it’s been less than 10 years since Facebook launched (2004) and is now 700 million users strong.  As Practical eCommerce cites,“ Facebook is not just a social forum to share pictures and updates with friends anymore.  Businesses are pushing traffic to their e-commerce sites, increasing brand awareness and making sales on Facebook stores.”  The top 10 brands on Facebook (based on number of Fans) is fascinating to read about as well.

New resource: Facebook Studio
Debuting just yesterday, "Facebook Studio" is the social media network's 1-stop resource for marketers, advertisers, and creatives.  As of eBurst press time (and less than 24 hours-old) the site had more than 15,000 "likes" . . . WOW.

Brace yourself . . . Windows 8 a comin’!
It seems like yesterday (or actually, 17 months ago) the PC world received Windows 7, but the conversion of more customers to tablets is driving Microsoft to produce a new version designed to be faster and more nimble, something tablets demand.  As CNN reporter David Goldman reports, “Though the tablet play is most crucial, analysts note that Microsoft is also desperately trying to get its customers off outdated versions of Windows. About 54% of PCs currently run the 10-year-old Windows XP, and 11% are on the five-year-old Vista, according to Net Applications.”  Hmm . . . what is your business currently running?
