So you have an important message to share with everyone? In fact, it is so important that you want to make sure that everybody on your Facebook will read it. Wondering how to do it? Presenting to you the Facebook paid highlight feature. It is a new program being tested by Facebook among its users in New Zealand. It’s a pay-to-promote feature wherein users can highlight or promote their posts by paying a small fee. Furthermore, this is the first time the social networking pioneer has offered its normal users the ability to amplify their updates.
This is how the feature works: The user will get an option of highlighting a status message beside the “Like” and “Comment” options by a status box. Choosing the option will result in a pop-up window featuring payment options with credit card or PayPal. As of now, the maximum price for highlighting is $2. Highlighted posts will appear higher in news feeds, stay visible longer, and appear to more friends and subscribers.

After ‘Action Verbs’, Facebook has added ‘Action Links’ to Timeline apps running on top of the Facebook Platform. With this Timeline application, Facebook is about to get a lot more interactive.
It is a highly functional action that facilitates the user to save the link using Open Graph apps. Action links can be customised by app developers resulting in a deeper level of fan-engagement. Furthermore, it lets you tie one action with another, letting the developer choose the action.
The best examples for Action Links as of now are ‘Save this Place’ which connects to Foursquare and ‘Fave this Product’ which lets the user favourite a product on Fab.com.

With the growing popularity of social networks, brands are extending traditional media campaigns to the internet. Ad agencies are finding it increasingly difficult to adapt to the growing digital requirements of clients, according to the Chief Marketing Officer Council. The chief issues faced by traditional agencies are:
1. The scope of digital media: Traditional agencies, owing to their lack of experience, may not understand the potential digital media holds. Digital is not just a media; it is an entirely different world. It is evolving with every passing second and novelty is short-lived. Only a seasoned professional with sufficient technical know-how can tap its immense possibilities.
