[HARO] High Tech Queries: Afternoon Edition

What's more frustrating than people who say 'like', like, 30
times a minute? Answer: people who click 'like' on your Facebook
page and then ignore you. Keep your fans interested with Vocus.
You can join their conversations, share news and links, and turn
them into customers with Facebook apps that let you offer group
deals and make sales directly from your page. Take a demo and get
a iPod Shuffle. I like it! http://bit.ly/jeQDfA


Good afternoon! Hope your Monday is going smoothly! Queries!
