The Story That Almost Shut Down Our Facebook Page
Facebook. There was a time when the social media behemoth actually was a fun place. Now it seems that it is more like a utility company: it might not be that exciting, you have to pay if you really want to play, but you still can’t live without it. We do remember when Facebook had […]
