She chooses to write a weekly blog post featuring  reasons to follow someone, like this one for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spinsucks.com\/social-media\/followfriday-shel-holtz\/\" target=\"_blank\">Shel Holtz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She goes on to mention <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/questions\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook&#8217;s new questions app<\/a>,  which apparently everyone has but Martin. Joe asks a question on FB and  within four minutes gets 11 responses.\u00a0(Note: by responding to Joe&#8217;s FB  Q, Martin&#8217;s feature is enabled). \u00a0The way it works is you can pose a  question, add answers folks can select, or let people provide their own  answer. Gini feels it could be a good tool for market research and  points out one change similar to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quora.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Quora <\/a>feature:  no one should be able to edit your question or answer. Currently, Facebook questions allows other users to edit the question and answers, this can result in your question longer representing your  original point. Joe says he likes the social element of Quora and isn&#8217;t  sure about the value of the FB experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Martin recaps a recent post about <a href=\"http:\/\/martinwaxman.com\/2011\/03\/21\/is-your-agency-sitting-on-the-sidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\">what to look for &#8211; and what to avoid &#8211; when you&#8217;re choosing an agency<\/a>.  Joe mentions he feels the post points out that social media is in the broader  context of overall effective communications, which is where it should  be.<\/p>\n<p>Joe announces that (sadly), our talented producer <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ykashefi\" target=\"_blank\">Yasmine Kashefi<\/a> is leaving <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thornleyfallis.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Thornley Fallis<\/a> to go client-side.
