How To Post On Facebook Page As Myself
With the new Facebook Page layout we can finally post or comment on a page with our personal account, or with the page account. Before this change you could only post or comment on a Fan page as the page itself. To switch between accounts, click on the Account pulldown box at the top left [...]
Static HTML to WordPress Conversion Case Study
Converting older static html sites to WordPress is one of the most popular things for me to work on. Seems there are still a lot of older sites that have no CMS system and when people decide to finally convert these sites WordPress is one of the most popular options. I used my holiday time [...]
Facebook Messages
Facebook Messages will not replace email as a whole, but it does have the potential to help Facebook become a much larger player in messaging. Even before this new release I had several people that I communicated with only on Facebook, and I see more and more of this as we move forward. The biggest [...]
Geolocation Check In Does Have Value
With the new Facebook Places launch this past week there has been a lot of talk about the lack of value to Geolocation system check ins. I have read several blogs and listened to some podcasts that basically say there is no value to systems such as Foursquare and Facebook Places and that those who [...]
Social Media…The Other Word of Mouth
While watching movie trailers at the theater I was amazed at how many large companies put their Facebook and Twitter addresses ahead of their own website. And some of these websites are amazing works of art. These businesses realize that social media is as close to word of mouth advertising as it gets. And pretty [...]
Top Ten Daily Tools
While working and sharing tips with others I have come to realize just how important some tools are to me. Some of these are not really tools, but without them I would certainly have gaps to fill in my work flow. They are not necessarily in any particular order. TextPad Firefox with FireBug extension. Chrome [...]
Facebook Page Admin Privileges
I shared a link earlier to The Next Web post about Facebook now allowing Admins to be removed, and this is a good thing. However, it appears Facebook still needs to put a little more thought into their Business Page setup. Any Admin can now delete another Admin and any Admin can delete the entire [...]
Google Buzz
The buzz today is Google Buzz, already trending on Twitter (#googlebuzz). Google is making another run at Social Networking and using Gmail to do it this time. After their previous attempts this is probably their final shot at getting some traction with social networking, if they miss here, they should just forget about it. At [...]
Facebook Fan Page Address
Here is a little tip about the Facebook Vanity URL. (Vanity URL just means that you have your name locked in to the address of your Facebook account) By default Facebook gives you an address such as http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1234456789. As I have discussed before, once you have 25 friends or 25 fans you can change this [...]
FaceBook Fan Page
Having a Facebook Fan Page has become almost a standard practice for businesses. The downside to a Facebook Fan Page is the long URL assigned to your page. But once you have 25 fans you can easily set the Vanity URL address by going to the Facebook Username page and setting the name for your [...]
My Twitter Tools
After reviewing the sites and applications I use most in conjunction with Twitter, I discovered it was more than I thought. I use the Twitter Home page, HootSuite, Tweetie, Bit.ly, Facebook, Twitter API, and probably a couple more every now and then. I then reviewed how and why I used each one, this process helped [...]
Top Internet Properties
While reading the news about The Weather Channel being for sale today some interesting figures caught my attention. The Weather Channel’s website, Weather.com is listed by Comscore as the 16th best Internet property by unique visitors for the month of November, 2007. That is a very strong placement, just ahead of Facebook. And I thought [...]
Micro Blogging
Steve Rubel at Micro Persuasion has a very interesting post about Web 2.0 Trends and one of the graphics he uses is this chart from Google Trends comparing Twitter to Blogging. That chart really got my attention. I had no idea that Twitter was that popular, or that the term Micro Blogging was coming into [...]
API Explained
Since I spend so much time working and talking about API’s I thought it would be a good idea to show others what an API is, and what it does. This video does a good job of explaining in very easy terms how API’s work. Whether you are interested in the Google, YouTube, Facebook or [...]
