Finding Case Studies Just Got Easier

I think we're all agreed that Facebook is a black-hole-time-suckage-extravaganza like no other.  And exactly why/how did a website make me spend actual money on an imaginary ninja fighter and some non-existent cakes?  Remember that's proper cash that could've been used to buy shoes for my babies.  Or even some real cakes.

So I applaud anyone who can make productive, work-like use of the site.  Two thumbs up to journalist Sarah Ewing, who has started the Journo Case Study Requests group.  The aim of the group is to make finding case studies (the bane of many freelancers' lives) a bit easier.  Non-journalists are welcome to join so it's a good one if you run a business and are looking out for ways to raise your profile.

Facebook revisited

Actually I have changed my mind about Facebook.  Any community which can find room for a Lidl Appreciation Group and multiple imaginary pets ain't all bad.  Just need to watch the time spent on there and make sure it doesn't mount up to too many lifetimes.
