  Facebook Ticker & Privacy

  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 [...]

  The Latest Facebook Changes (v.954)

  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 [...]

  Tagging People & Pages in Facebook Status

  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 [...]

  Facebook Privacy, Again, For the Millionth Time…

  So, Facebook went and did it again… I think this time it may just stick (at least for a week or so, right?).  Last week at some point the fine people at Facebook sent me an email.  So I guess they sent the rest of the population an email too, but a girl can pretend that they totally know who I am, right?  Anyway, it was talking about the privacy controls that they were rolling out.  I typically ignore emails [...]

  Hiding Facebook Friends

  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 [...]

  What Is Facebook’s Instant Personalization Feature?

  I had heard a few things about this new feature that Facebook is currently beta testing, and that many people are a bit up in arms about.  It’s called Instant Personalization.  It is only rolled out to a few sites so far, such as Pandora.  If you are currently “logged in” to your Facebook page and then navigate to pandora.com you will see a new little pop down that says “Hi ___, Pandora is using Facebook to personalize your experience.

  Twitter Phishing attacks

  Is this you?? http://ReallyScaryLinkThatYouShouldNeverEverClickOnBecauseYouWillGetYourTwitterAccountHacked.com this is the Direct Message that has been tearing around the Twitterverse this week.  From what I hear (since I would never ever click the link) is that it will take you to a login page where you end up putting in your Twitter username and pass and then now they have it, and they use it to send DM’s to all of YOUR followers.  So there it is… someone telling you that you are in [...]

  Twitter Tutorial

  Whether you have never heard of Twitter before or you have and have no idea what people are talking about, this post is for you! Twitter is a great social networking tool that has been called “micro-blogging”. Each “tweet” is 140 characters long, and is a snapshot of life, a tidbit of information, or even a conversation between you and a company, or someone else!
