I used to think a hashtag was a crocht ball that hipster boys kicked around in their bare feet. Apparently that’s a hacky sack. Did you know the 33rd anual World Hacky Sack Championship will be in Poland this year? I don’t know of any hashtag conventions, but you never know. I’ll keep you posted. Anywho, let’s get back on topic. A hashtag is just a way to tag a conversation. It’s mostly used in Twitter. If you see it in Facebook, chances [...]
I’ve seen a lot of people reach my page using searches about the Facebook Ticker. Many of whom are unable to see the ticker on their account. The ticker appears to be missing from certain accounts, while it annoys other people’s accounts. I personally don’t mind it. Here’s the official word from Facebook’s Help area…. “Ticker only appears when your network of friends and connections meets a certain threshold of activity.Ticker will appear as you connect to more friends, subscriptions, [...]
If you are the proud owner of a Facebook “fan” Page, you have probably already seen the notice. For those of you who do not have a Fan Page, it may come as a surprise at the end of the month. I’m sure this is just the first of the many changes that will be coming to Facebook Pages as they likely will follow a similar format to the new Timeline interface for the regular profile pages. First, I know I said [...]
Taking you on a tour of Facebook’s new profile interface… Timeline Next week, I’ll do more in-depth tutorials of the various areas and functions!
Wow, I’m almost getting sick of talking about Facebook! I still have a video recording today about the new Timeline profile, which I think is pretty awesome. I just wanted to address something I’ve seen wandering around people’s status updates again though. I attended a seminar with none other than Mark Zuckerberg himself at BYU. The question came up about whether or not Facebook would ever charge to use it’s service. The answer directly from Mark Zuckerberg’s mouth was that [...]
Many people are expressing concern about Facebook’s new ticker (some people are affectionately dubbing it the sidebar from hell, but to each his/her own). The concern people have is about privacy. They are concerned that they are seeing what people are posting on other people’s pages that are not their friends, and therefore are concerned what is going on the ticker that people can see from people that post on your own profile. I definitely understand the concern, but really [...]
Facebook has gone and done it again, making everyone mad with changes. Personally, I couldn’t be happier, because I’ve been waiting for the day that this happens. Here’s why… Forever I’ve been wanting to separate my news feed into “people” and “pages”. If I wanted to see updates from pages, I could just look in one specific spot, and if I wanted to see updates from my friends (which was much more often) I would go to that place. NOW [...]
News from the folks over in Palo Alto had the interwebs in a buzz yesterday! Facebook held a live press conference over the web yesterday at 10 AM PST. Mark Zuckerberg started the announcement with a background on trends they are seeing, and what they predict will happen over the next few years. Zuckerberg spoke about how at first it was more about the numbers, and increasing the amount of users on Facebook. He mentioned that they hit 750 million [...]
You see people post on Facebook with hyperlinks to people and pages on Facebook all the time, yet you don’t know HOW to do it! Facebook has actually made it pretty easy for you now (if not somewhat annoying). Now if you just start typing a friends name their profile will come up, you can click on it, and instant hyperlink. The reason I call it annoying is that every time I’m typing the word the my friend Therese pops [...]
Whenever I hear of someone deleting something my mind always goes to Jim Carey in Liar Liar going “Deleted!”. This is a post I’ve actually been meaning to write for a bit, but am finally getting around to. We’ve all seen it on Facebook… someone posts a status, finds something wrong with said status, and then corrects it in the comment directly below the status. I’m not exactly sure why people do this. I know you don’t want to sound [...]
I’m actually talking about two completely different things with the title of this post today. First, one of my friends asked me if she could hide from her friends’ walls who she is becoming friends with. You know how it says “Sarah Kimmel just became friends with Trevor Kimmel”. I said I wasn’t sure and that I would look into it. The best option I have found is to just completely hide who you are friends with all together. To [...]
