Facebook and Google have been making a lot of changes in the past few weeks, and some of their changes have included terminology.

Facebook Pages – Becoming a “fan” of a Facebook page is gone, you now “like” a page. Therefore, they aren’t called “Facebook Fan Pages” anymore.

Google Places – This used to be your Google Local listing. Now you have a Google Places page.

Make sure you update your marketing materials – nothing screams “I’m not up on the latest social media” like having outdated terminology in your advertising.

(Did you hear that Future Shop? By the way it’s NEVER been “follow me on Facebook”.  Hello, marketing fail!  Fix it, you look really ignorant.)
