Facebook..

I love Facebook for the fact that it enabled me to get back in touch with a lot of friends about whom I had not contact information. It also enables me to get to get updates about my friends and family.

Pros

Facebook is one of the top in social networking apps, infact it shaped the current social media world. With it you can share text, pictures and videos in your posts. Along with posts users can also share temporary stories that delets after a day by itself. It has a very smart search and scanning algorithm due to which it gives you very precise suggestions about people you may know. It can also identify people (most of the times) in a photo that are not already tagged in it. Apart from social communications it is also widely used for marketing by businesses. It has a dedicated messenger app through which you can not only send texts and make audio/video calls but also send files to other contacts.

Cons

As facebook is the biggest social networking software, it is flooded with a lot of irrelevant posts including political propagandas, religious and ethnic hate and false news and information, which is something that Facebook administration needs to step up its efforts to mitigate by apply filters and effectively banning involved users.

Meta Business over all other Content Schedulers

Overall we prefer Meta Business to other content planners/scheduling platforms. Meta also prioritizes pushing content that is scheduled through their proprietary platforms (so this is also good for your content).

Pros

Meta for Business makes it easy to schedule content, especially cross platform Facebook + IG! My favorite feature is that I can change the copy of the caption for the same graphic being posted based on the platform it is posting too! It saves so much time!

Cons

Sometimes the platform experiences little glitches. Our agency has experienced issues with posts not publishing, or posting ancient publishing dates (one time a post published with a 1960's date stamp!!! Cannot make this up). The bugs have become less frequent but we still have check-in our clients content to make sure it is publishing properly!

Alternatives Considered

Planable, Buffer and Loomly

Reasons for Choosing Meta for Business

Meta is much easier to use, and the algorithm prioritizes content from Meta over third party schedulers.

Switched From

Buffer and Hootsuite

Reasons for Switching to Meta for Business

Meta is a free product and has actually developed more advanced features over the years - like their analytics! While bugs still exist, they have improved!

Worthless Website - Eradicating the residual productivity from Human Beings!!

Pros

Honestly, there is nothing that I like about Facebook. Of course, this is my personal opinion and I am not trying to offend others. Facebook is a sheer waste of time and I religiously believe so because I haven't seen any reason one even logs into their account to see others post their pics with a "Not so Real" smile. I would rather say, people try to portray their "Flawless" life by uploading pics and tagging hundreds of them which hardly leaves any space for their face to be visible. Spouses these days share love only through "Likes and Comments" on Facebook and go off to sleep after returning back home. I have seen married couples 'literally' talking through comments, and expressing love for each other with Emojis. Woo.. That's insanity according to me. C'mon, we all know that we click on the "Like" tab only to make the other person feel valued whereas the first thing we try to notice is their Dark Circles, Extra fats and their uneven teeth by zooming in as much as possible, almost tearing the phone's screen apart. And yes, there is a smile on our face the moment we see some flaw in the other person - Bingo!! All I am saying is, why would one want to spend 3 hours a day browsing through other's miraculously showcased life (Miserable in real) and then spend those additional hours at work, only because you haven't been able to complete what you could have in those 3 hours, and get back home, late and exhausted. I never understand when people say, "Facebook has connected me with old friends and family". Facebook has only given us a way to find, connect and stay connected merely as part of the "Friends / Family" tab within Facebook's platform. I haven't seen people messaging their family or friends every week to check their well being. Its merely a platform to show your family and friends that you could afford a holiday in Caribbean and that you are the only one with dimples on both your cheeks. C'mon guys, grow up. Instead of wasting time Face-booking, lets try reading and googling which would at least make us a learned person, even more if you are already are one.

Cons

Facebook, itself is a con!! There could be some educative platform which could help people transform the way they think and behave.

Advertising Manager

My overall experience is i've been using the platform over the last 10-12 years running ads for various events, concerts, brands or talent.

Pros

Running ads via multiple placements using one platform to control ad delivery.

Cons

You cant control frequency within the platform and even when you create rules they are not as effective as you'd like them to be.

Alternatives Considered

X Pro, Simplified, Snapchat and theTradeDesk

Reasons for Switching to Meta for Business

Based on how many users I can reach via the platform and how often they are available to reach.

A powerful, yet complicated, advertising tool

We are an advertising agency and we are using Meta for Business on a daily basis for a number of our clients. The wealth of tools & options that it provides can be powerful when used correctly. However, the complexity of the tool and the endless metrics can misguide both users and end clients, when it comes to reviewing results & deciding on upcoming campaign optimisations.

Pros

The platform is always updated & renewed with new functionalities to help advertisers target their audiences.

Cons

The fact that the platform is always updated, it makes it less user friendly, especially for people who are not using it on a daily basis. Also, the platform is trying to automate everything through AI hence users need to be really experienced in order to make the most out of the platform.
