Today morning as soon as I woke up and got the newspaper, I was surprised to see this on last page.. I couldn't really believe my eyes.. I pinched myself to check if I was in a dream.. IMG_20180218_124850.jpg
An advertisement from Facebook on a Newspaper?
In today's world. Of digital world, it is believed that every Metropolitan citizen must be having a smartphone with Facebook.. And now for every product the advertisement appears on internet, why Facebook opted for a half page advertisement on a news paper? Isn't this really intriguing...
I think people must be bored with Facebook and must be looking for something new... I feel their expectations have gone up more than getting few likes for some good contest... If all was well, why would they post a newspaper ad?

If you get newspaper to your home would be mainly because you may not want to miss out on some local news, articles, and local TV and movie gossips which we don't find everywhere.. Apart from the above, all other news appearing in the newspaper would have been read on internet on the previous day as it happens..

All people subscribing for newspaper would have internet connection on phone or home... And if they dont then this doesn't make sense, as people will not browse internet and will not know what Facebook is..

FACEBOOK being a digitalmarketing platform, and the ad was about an additional feature or an add on, it would made more sense if they had advertised on their platform itself.. They could have done some customer experience programs, sponsored group meetups used innovative techniques to get more users into groups than advertising on the newspaper..

Lastly, I would also highlight the point of other products which are advertised on Facebook.. What confidence will these products companies seek from Facebook platform for advertising, when Facebook itself is relying on print media for their advertisements..

Zuck should have embraced blockchain and crypto rather than banning ads. Facebook wont go away but it will fade like MySpace.

They are nowhere now.. They have traded our identity enough to make money... Even Twitter, Reddit has adopted steemit model, but given a wrong name called "tipping". As if someone is throwing money.. There some guy tips you... At Steemit You EARN...

Word. Effort and quality is monitered by all steemians. Reputation and voting reports to the blockchain where it becomes evidence and proof. Earn is absolutely true.

Facebook sucks. I'm so grateful to have found Steemit :)

Yes @adammillwardart you are right... Steemit is a right platform where, People of common interest, people from Various countries can showcase their work.. This is a good platform, where Our work speaks for Us.. We should thank @dan and other founders, for all the hardwork they put in...

I barely touch it these days. Steemit has been the paradigm shift we have all been waiting for.
