    Facebook Adds Admin Roles: This Week in Social Media

    by Cindy King / June 2, 2012

    social media researchWelcome to our weekly edition of what's hot in social media news. To help you stay up-to-date with social media, here are some of the news items that caught our attention.

    What's New This Week?

    Facebook Gives Granularity to Page Admin Roles: Businesses with Facebook Pages can now set five different roles for their admins: Manager, Content Creator, Moderator, Advertiser and Insights Analyst.  This is a useful tool for Facebook managers.

    Businesses on Facebook can now grant page admins varying degrees of permissions, depending on their role.

    Facebook Adds Post Scheduling: You can now schedule posts directly on your Facebook Page. “You can prepare a post and schedule it to appear later by adding a date and time in the future before you post it.”

    schedule facebook post
    “You can schedule a post up to 6 months in advance in 15-minute intervals,” and you can also “choose a date in the past” and your post will appear at the appropriate place on your Page's Timeline.

    Discussion From Our Networking Clubs: Thousands of social media marketers and small business owners are asking questions and helping others in our free Networking Clubs. Here are a few interesting discussions worth highlighting:

        • How will the switch to Google+ Local impact your business?
        • Has anyone tried the new Facebook Promoted Posts?
      • Share your comments on ghost writing for blogs.

    Facebook Rolls Out Promoted Posts for Facebook Pages: “Promoted posts are a simple way to reach more of the people who like your Page and their friends.” Promoted Posts give your updates more exposure on Facebook.

    Google+ Local Replaces Google Places: “Each place you see in Google+ Local will now be scored using Zagat's 30-point scale, which tells you all about the various aspects of a place so you can make the best decisions.”  Google Place pages have been automatically converted into Google+ Local pages. This is Google's first step beyond Google Places.
