The best practice is to connect and engage with people.

Maximize and be creative

Don’t let your wall be dull and boring.  Maximize the potential of the “What’s going on your mind” section.  You can use this to update the latest news, events or new products.  You should also be creative when stating a headline by making it more mysterious and yet Interesting enough for people to be curious.  Remember to always add value to people’s lives, that is a sure way to create interest about you and your company.
