There are no guidelines regarding how companies should design status updates on Facebook which attain good readability and engage the readers. Half the Swedish population are Facebook-users, but companies have yet to publish comprehensible messages on Facebook which effectively include the recipients. Inclusion is not just a matter of accessibility, but also of readability.Therefore, I studied how status updates should be designed on Facebook in order to increase the readability and to engage the readers. My target group is 22-32 year olds, since the company I worked with wanted to target this group. I conducted my research through literature studies, interviews with the client, analysis of past status updates, questioned an expert in social media, and organized a group interview with the target group.My research shows that status updates should contain information that is topical, informative and relevant to the target group. However, status updates should not contain too much information, since messages that are saturated with information are difficult for the audience to interact with. Status updates should be written seriously and give the readers an added value. The message should contain 50-250 characters. If the audience is unfamiliar with the subject in the status update, a longer message may be necessary. Nonetheless, status updates should not exceed 400 characters, as the readers will then lose interest. Status updates should be written in a simple and informal language.Communication on Facebook requires specific guidelines, since social media differs from traditional media. The texts published here must be specifically adapted to Facebook. This requires an increased understanding of the demands Facebook as a medium puts on texts published on this social utility. Further research could therefore explore the way in which people read on Facebook, for example by using eye-tracking cameras.
