Facebook Etiquette for Page Owners
Now that Facebook page owners have been granted the freedom to use Facebook as their page identity, I think it is a perfect time to have a quick discussion about Facebook etiquette for page owners. Since the changes were rolled out I've watched as my Facebook page turned from a fun social forum into a bulletin board style free-for-all.

365 Reasons to Love Living in Olympia WA
Living in Olympia (the web version, not reality) started as an ongoing mental list.
