Facebook Deletes Discussions


One of the risks of being on Facebook is that the site changes constantly and with limited notice, affecting your personal profile and online experience. And users can complain loudly but (usually) without much/any impact. Case in point: Timeline.

So too does Facebook make changes to business pages such as the FILM240X page — most recently announcing that the Discussions app will be deleted on October 31. Facebook has decided that the best place for us to have discussions is on the wall. The wall is not a functional equivalent to the threaded Discussions app, but so it goes.

We have been using the Discussions app in FILM240X since September, and all threads and discussions will be recorded and saved by SEM on October 28, just before the app disappears. If you’ve been part of the FB discussion threads, please note it on your social media participation self assessment survey in December.
