Facebook Launches Live Commenting
When Facebook absorbed Friendfeed, no one was certain what would become of the site that was loved so fiercely by so many. Since the two sites became one, we have seen a few Friendfeed-like integrations on the social networking giant. Just yesterday, Zuck and his team quietly launched a live-commenting feature which takes us back [...]
Will Facebook or Twitter Ever Die?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed A few weeks ago, someone asked me if I felt Twitter or Facebook would die out first. That’s impossible to answer at this point in time. Both services are going quite strong as of the recording of this video. It’s also [...]
Why is Facebook Giving Out Your Phone Number?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Today, Lamarr rants on Facebook because – according to him – they STILL don’t get it when it comes to privacy. Facebook is now letting third-party apps have phone numbers and addresses of users. Even if it IS opt-in, a good [...]
Top Social Media News
The turn of the year brought some big news in social media along with some seriously lame memes. Facebook has effectively killed MySpace. In the last month, we have also seen the emergence of lawsuits based on the use of social media, and brands using social media to leverage consumers using contests for a more [...]
Would You Like to Win Facebook Credits?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I have yet to log in to Facebook and sign up for a Farmville account. I know many of you are absolutely addicted to the game. Instead of planting virtual crops, though, why not plant a garden or go out and [...]
Has Facebook Topped Google?
According to at least one source, Facebook received more UK Internet visits than Google’s UK search portal on Christmas Day, accounting for 10.50% of all UK Internet visits on that day. This trend shows that people were more interested in connecting with their friends and family during the holiday than in finding out what the [...]
Facebook Gives You Control Over Your News Feed
In a change that I personally think many people are going to love, Facebook is introducing a new way to filter your recent news feed. Users with access to the redesigned feature see a drop-down arrow beside their Most Recent news feed tab on the home page, revealing filters for status updates, Photos, Links, Pages, [...]
Facebook Adding Comments You Make to Others on Your Wall
We’ve long had “Recent Activities” show up on our Facebook Wall, right? We had all of these little snippets littering up our Wall or Page, telling the world where on the site we’ve been. However, the only thing those little messages said was that we had been there. Nothing showed up on our on Walls [...]
Are You Using the New Facebook Profiles?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Matthew’s screencast this week takes a close look at the new Facebook profile design. Word on the street is that once you change, you cannot revert back to the old style. With that in mind, watch Matt’s video here to see [...]
R2-D2 and the new Facebook profile layout
Even R2-D2 is on Facebook. He’s not quite sure that he likes the newest profile layout, though. What do you think? Are you a fan of the new profiles?
Are You Still Using MySpace?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Seb asked me in chat recently if I actually use MySpace. I have an account there, yes. I actually even receive tens of visitors there each month. I admit that I really don’t even USE the site. Do you? From all [...]
Facebook Used by Debt Collectors
Facebook is the perfect place for a debt collector to find you. Several collection agencies are now using the site to contact not only their target… they are “harassing” friends, family and business connections, as well. Many of these agencies even have a policy in place for how their employees should handle themselves when contacting [...]
MySpace and Facebook: A Connection Made in Heaven?
Speculation mounted last night about today’s “big” joint Facebook and MySpace announcement. Sadly, the news was almost a let-down today during the actual event. We already knew that Facebook Connect was coming to MySpace. Finding out for sure was pretty anti-climatic. We’re all sitting here scratching our heads, wondering exactly why we are supposed to [...]
Facebook App for Communities with Game Mechanics
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Hopefully you are already a member of our Facebook community. There’s not a doubt in my mind that it is a community within a community. People are interacting like crazy. There are good things being shared and discussed, but I’m wanting [...]
Why is MySpace Meeting up with Facebook?
Earlier today, an invitation went out to the press to attend a (gasp!) GoToMeeting tomorrow with both MySpace and Facebook in attendance. Unfortunately, I doubt this means that we’ll see some major alliance between the two sites. I doubt that MySpace is going to close up shop or anything of that nature. Rumors are flying, [...]
