    (Upcoming) Facebook Edit Feature Will Soon Allow Users Change Your "Status Updates," and "Comments."

    While only select groups of people can currently access this update, Facebook said in an email to The Huffington Post that the edit tool should be live for everyone within the next several days.

    Those currently with access to the edit tool have a thirty-second time limit to make a correction to a new post. If you edit after that time window closes, other users will see that the post has been edited. It's also possible to go back in your Timeline and edit older comments -- including those terrible status messages you wish you'd never posted
    .

    Since we're on the subject of Facebook, I have a (possibly silly) question:

    I'm thinking of putting up a FB page for my PC repair shop. Unlike my personal FB page (which is locked down to friends only), a page promoting my business will obviously have to be public.

    My concern is horror stories I've heard from others about competitors posting false and slanderous comments on a business FB page. I have a good business reputation and I don't want to have it tarnished by non-customers posting trash and lies.

    If you think this sounds silly, it's not. I know for a fact that at least one major furniture store in the Houston area hires social media "trolls" - their job is to post shill positive comments under multiple e-mails/names on how great <name redacted> Furniture is in order to dilute the negative comments, even though the shills have neither shopped at nor made a purchase there.

    Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
