Great question Amanda – the new Paper app is actually a completely separate app and a different way to experience Facebook. The original Facebook app still exists and can be used.

Do you still have the ability to switch back to the old facebook app or does this overwrite the app altogether?

Congrations on Woman of the Year!

And…137 years!! You must be older than I!

Have a beautiful day!

I do like the concept of this video. Shiny, happy Sioux Citians from all walks of life, singing and dancing about their own little slice of heaven. With that being said, I think we can all agree that the execution is unintentionally poor.

In going viral, the video probably does heighten awareness about Sioux City’s existence. I don’t know that the city John Morrell built will be greeting droves of tourists as a result.

Even tagging the end with a URL to their community Web site could have potentially driven traffic and provided a way to determine effectiveness. All things considered, I think this one is a miss.

Sure, a good viral video has the potential to create a lot of buzz, but in order to determine its success or failure, you have to be able to answer a couple of questions…what was the goal of the video, and was that goal reached? If the goal was to get thousands of viewers, then mission accomplished. Even if the goal was simply to create heightened awareness of Sioux City, they reached their objective. However, if the goal was to create positive awareness and perhaps drive web traffic, I’d venture to guess that our neighbors to the south are a little hurt by the response. And if there were no goals and objectives laid out in the first place, then what was the point?
