Those of you who use FaceBook as a way to communicate with your customers via your business page have by now noticed that they are "carved out" and not coming through the status updates automatically, the way they used to. At least reports are numerous that not all of them are anyway. We are having similar issues with our Mad Women Media page.</p> <p>A lot of folks are none too happy with that and a number of changes and Mad Women Media will be bringing you the latest on what if anything changes as a result of the resounding backlash FaceBook is "Facing" over these changes.</p> <p>Please read this fine article from CNN.
