We didn't realize how much of a challenge this would be. For most people, Facebook is very easy to comprehend. You "friend" someone you know and then communicate with them. If you have a business, you probably have an additional page wher ...

Do you work on the weekend?

I started my day in the usual fashion - coffee followed by checking email, Twitter and Facebook. I posted a quick comment on Facebook, "Saturday.

Don't get me wrong. I love Twitter and Facebook. I have to put restrictions on my time or else I will be on Facebook all day long. But a few things got me thinking.
