byWillis WeeinWeb
Following the mysterious take down of Pizza Hut India’s Facebook page, it seems like more big brands are suffering the same fate.

The Mystery of Pizza Hut India’s Vanishing Facebook Page

Update: The Facebook page is up again. But still, we have not received any reply from Pizza Hut India's PR team. Thanks Sam for the heads up. Big news in the Facebook marketing community. Pizza Hut India, a brand which we unfortunately listed it as one of the top Facebook business pages in the country, appears to have been silently taken down. And even more astonishing is that none of the 380,000 fans have sounded off about this problem. So much for being socially connected! The problem was first spotted by Preetham ...
