“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of
thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because
there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be
needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined
and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. … Every year fewer
and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller.
- George Orwell, 1984

“You can't get very far starting out on Facebook
right now without spending $$ on advertising.
It's no longer possible to build critical mass
without that. It's pay for play. And depending
upon the type of business, you'll probably need
to offer deals now and then. FB definitely
requires a bigger investment.”

For example, during a live webinar, we ask our
community to engage with us through comments on a
pinned Facebook status update therefore increasing the
reach of the page and PTAT. As follow up, they'll then
vouch for the thought leadership we provide through a
Facebook milestone which serves as world class social
proof for the webinar and the Heyo product."

not have the "sponsored" label. I typically wait a
