“Take a Bit Out of Crime” is a phrase that was often uttered by McGruff the Crime Dog, a fictional dog who despised criminals for reasons I am unsure about (we never did see his origin story, here’s to hoping for a Christopher Nolan directed “McGruff Begins”). The famous PSA character did his best to provide a good example and keep people from committing crimes. Now, Facebook may be doing the same exact thing by accident. More and more people are committing crimes, whether they are aware of it or not and then they brag about their illegal exploits on their Facebook page. It’s never a good…

Now that the company is public, the employees are rich, and the CEO is married, Facebook is ready for some serious business. They’ve slayed most of the dragons they’ve needed to face up to this point, but the game has changed. They can’t just sit back and make money as a side effort. They have to generate more revenue and profits for their numbers to stay strong on the NASDAQ. For the first time in their history, they really have to try from a business perspective. Up until now, making money was a side-effect of their efforts to make the most popular and addictive social network on the planet. They are approaching…

The best that could have happened in tech blogging would have been for Facebook’s IPO to “pop”. We still would have watched closely but there would have been no need to analyze it in-depth. As any good doctor after a successful operation, we would have clapped our hands and monitored. Instead, we’re stuck trying to break down exactly what happened on Friday and more importantly what will happen in the coming weeks. In short, Facebook ruined a lot of tech and business bloggers’ weekends. Here is a video of analysis that will help to determine if this was simply Facebook and its bankers pricing the IPO…

Teens can get in trouble with their parents in many different ways. They can break curfew, get bad grades, fight with their siblings, and many more things deemed inappropriate by their parents. What do parents do to punish teens when they act out? It used to be that parents could take away television for a week. Parents then moved on to taking away their teens’ cell phones. While TV is still a popular punishment, there is an even more prevalent method that parents can use– no Facebook. So, how do parents take away Facebook from their teenagers? What if the kid just creates a mock Facebook for the…

Some people find Facebook so valuable that they even buy Facebook fans to make their page more popular. Although it is a great social networking platform, users are constantly asking for more.

Social media enthusiasts have been all a-Twitter about Facebook heading into an IPO that could be valued around $1 billion US dollars. While Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg is often in the social media spotlight, co-founder Eduardo Saverin has been living in Singapore as an investor who’s been doing more partying than he has investing. Many only know Saverin as the shy, intelligent co-founder of Facebook portrayed by Andrew Garfield in The Social Network. In the film, Saverin was ultimately defriended on a much larger scale and forced out of Facebook by Zuckerburg, portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg….

Just ahead of the much-discussed Facebook IPO, General Motors announced that they plan to cease advertising on the social networking site. They will continue to market on Facebook through the free Facebook pages but will not be paying Facebook for ads. Their reason is something that most ads executives have considered at one point or another when looking at Facebook: will it help sell more products? General Motors determined that it was not helping them sell more cars. While their $10 million annual spend on Facebook was a tiny fraction of both their advertising spend ($1.8 billion) and Facebook’s…

It seems to have crept into every nook and cranny in our daily lives. It makes sense that social media would start to have a dramatic influence on sports, the way that players interact with fans (and the media), and even who will be anointed as the next big star (regardless of actual play on the field). That’s the premise behind this infographic from KT Tape that comes to us via Raleigh Toyota. Click to enlarge. …

Welcome to the digital era, where we have bid farewell to old marketing tools. Now brands successfully promote themselves by using social media platforms, especially with the help of Facebook pages. If you are a social media enthusiast, you might be familiar with the marketing tactics used by brands over social media networks. As of today, the ultimate gauge of a company’s social media marketing skills is how many ‘likes’ they have on their Facebook page.
