I recently attended a “Facebook Community Boost” event that focused on how small and medium-sized businesses could best utilize social media, specifically Facebook and Facebook-owned Instagram. A talk on “Getting Creative with Your Mobile Phone” caught my eye, because I was intrigued as to how to further utilize my $900 (retail) Samsung Galaxy Note 8.There was a lot of discussion about “thumbstopping" along with building and defining various audiences.
