The Joys of Facebook

Ok, so ill start by warning everyone that todays post, the first of what i hope are many, is actually a rant about the frustration i have had at the hands of Facebook.

We have just launched our newly designed website, ecommerce, full of products etc. And of course, high on our priority list is to set up Social Media links. You Tube is great.

Facebook was our number 1 choice.

We set up our page, photos, About Us etc. But, in order for the facebook link to work on our website, you need to have a unique user name with facebook.
To do this, you need to verify your Facebook account by receiving a text message.

3 phone numbers later.....still no verification code.
So today i tried a landline. At last, success!
But no, not only does the beautiful toned BT woman read the verification code out at the same speed as the jimmy Saville enquiry, its also case sensitive.

So after trying 1 million combinations of the same code i tried a different mobile number on a different network.

Did it work.....cant tell you. Would appear i have had too many attempts at receiving the code, which is apparently my fault, and am now directed to their "help" menu.
I use the term "help" lightly!!!

There is no telephone support for this huge global empire.
So what shall i do now?

Well, ive issued the staff with these and will be picking the bits of my computer up off the floor shortly.
