Must Every Road Lead Back to Facebook?
As much as I love the community that Facebook provides, I secretly wish that someone would give them some serious competition.
Over the last three months, Facebook has created so many limitations for developers and businesses on Facebook that I am starting to feel under the rule of a Social Media tyrant.
Most recently, they disabled the hyperlinking function in their photo images. Now, if you want to upload a product you are selling to a photo album, the link the the caption will be dead.
Facebook is basically making sure that every road leads back to them, the only hyperlinks active are the ones to pages, albums, and other places within Facebook. And if you want people to go to your site or product? You better pay up with heavy advertising fees.
Google, why aren’t you doing something about this?
