The time has come where Facebook posts supply the news industry. We have a community paper here called the Free Press. I decided to post a comment on the paper's wall about a client and its "pathetic patio" contest. The next day, I pick up the paper, and this is what it says under business news:
Elaine Matthews from Ryan, Sawyer & Whitney dropped this item regarding a Facebook contest being put on by a local greenhouse biz: "Thought you'd like to know Mt. Garfield Greenhouse has a 'Pathetic Patio' contest going on right now where you post a pic of your patio or deck, get the most 'likes' and win a $300 gift certificate to the store." Surely, you or someone you know could benefit from a patio spruce-up. Jump on Facebook and search for Mt. Garfield's page.
It's great for the client, funny and a bit sad that they're picking up a Facebook post verbatim. Love it!

I guess those commercials with the news anchorman reading the fb posts aren't that far off. And kinda cool to have your name in the paper. :)
