Are you missing some Facebook Friends?
Posted by: | Comments
When you log into Facebook, the first place you’re taken is your News Feed (or Home tab). This is where you see updates from your friends and the pages you have “liked”. But have you noticed that you’re only getting news from the same small number of people lately?
It doesn’t mean all your other Facebook friends have gone off line. Facebook has added a way to control your newsfeed. You can see the updates from all your friends, or you can set the feed to only show the friends and pages you interact most with.
For many people, if not most, their setting was defaulted to “Friends and pages you interact most with”.
If this had happened to you, scroll down to the bottom of your News Feed and click the “edit options button” on the bottom right of the page.

See the New Facebook Profile
Posted by: | CommentsFacebook has launched a new-look profile over the last few days. If you haven’t seen it yet, log into Facebook and check it out. The look is cleaner, with more graphics. There is more information about you right under your name and photos of you show up front and centre.
The photos under your name are any photos in Facebook where you are tagged, not just photos you have uploaded.
If you don’t like one of the photos, hover your mouse over that photo and an “x” will appear on the upper right corner. Click on the “x” and the photo will be removed from your profile page.
Note, however, that this doesn’t remove the photo from Facebook nor does it remove the tag. If you really don’t want that particular photo linked to you, Read More→

- How to Have Off-Line Conversations with Your Online Connections
Yesterday I wrote about why you need to take your online connections off-line. Today I’ll tell you how.
When you met somebody online and you’ve had some sort of an ongoing conversation, someone you think you might have a connection with, approach them about having an off-line conversation.
You can send them a private message on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, or send them an e-mail asking for a phone conversation.
Don’t make this a sales call! Really – I’m serious! Stress that this will be a “getting to know you” conversation. And mean it. Suggest a couple of dates and times and give them a time limit for the call – I suggest 30 minutes.
When the appointed time comes, ask a series of open ended questions that will allow you to get to know this person and their business. Of course you’ll want to give them the same information about yourself.
