I love the fact that I can connect with my friends and family, look for school mates whom I last met 15 years ago, keep my mum updated about her lil\u2019 granddaughter, even as I connect to my customers through my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Xminds.Solutions\">Facebook page<\/a><\/strong>.<br \/>\nSpeaking about the business page, I\u2019m really happy that I can share videos, post photos and even get customers to buy them even without leaving the page. But there\u2019s a teeny weeny little grievance. You don\u2019t let us business page owners to like anything on Facebook. As a business owner, I\u2019d really like to show my support to fellow business owners by liking their page.\u00a0 I hope you\u2019re looking into the problem. I\u2019m sure you know that small startups like mine depend on your support to reach out to customers. Wouldn\u2019t it be great if we could send a request to customers asking them to like us?<br \/>\nThere was never a doubt that Facebook\u2019s influencing the world\u2019s shaping up, but the Egypt revolution kinda reconfirmed this. But what impressed me most that you decided to keep mum about it rather than brag to the whole world. You sure do understand the implications of talking about it!<br \/>\nAnd last but not the least, here\u2019s a small request\u2026could you please speed up your response system when we report an error. Your typical response to a ticket seems to be\u2026 \u201cThank you for submitting this bug report\u2026..we are unable to respond to every bug report\u2026..We appreciate your patience and feedback\u2026\u201d Seriously there could be a better response to a ticket. Like for instance, how about sending a ticket number so that we could follow it with you guys? \u2026<br \/>\nI\u2019m sure you get hundreds of such letters every day. It must truly frustrating having to listen to suggestions endlessly. But as I earlier said, businesses like ours depend a lot on Facebook and would love it if you could take care of these minor glitches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After listening to Mark Zuckerberg speak at the annual TechCrunch Disrupt,\u00a0here\u2019s an open letter that I couldn\u2019t resist from writing.\u00a0 Before we move to the letter, here\u2019s what Mark spoke: There will not be a Facebook phone\u2026at least not in the distant future.
