Some might say that Facebook has helped extend our “birthday power”. We are able to see who has a birthday now and in the future just by looking in the top right of our Facebook profile. It’s an excellent little calendar that makes the special day of the year for our friends and family easy to keep. No more marking up calendars hung on refrigerators once a year – Facebook is a birthday tracking machine. Moreover, it gives us a quick and easy way to give our birthday greetings to acquaintances. We might call our mom, take our buddies out for drinks, or throw a party for our kids, but Facebook gives us the ability…

Back in May, Facebook owners and Nasdaq suffered embarrassing mistakes at the loss of investors. Eyes are back on the social media company as settlements are argued over in New York courts and recent information about the company hiding data about mobile risks before their initial public offerings paints Facebook in an even worst light. …

After learning that the Facebook questions feature has been beamed up and taken off of Facebook, I couldn’t help but scratch my head as to how Facebook’s poking system still triumphs… I am not the biggest fan of poking and have often wondered its use, and while pondering I have concocted my own theory. …

There are many social media managing tools available that are free or that come with a cost, yet none of them allow us to edit or change our settings from one spot for various social networks. Instead to change a profile picture or to edit our bio, we must go directly to the social network to make these types of changes – that is until now. …

I admit it. When I stated in June, 2011, that Facebook would be the worst tech investment in history, I didn’t know how bad it was going to get. I knew it was going to be awful. I just didn’t realize it was going to be THIS awful. Despite the follies, the company is still going strong. They’ve licked their wounds from the poor launch, watched as people became super rich overnight, then about half as rich a couple of months later, and kept with the vision of expanding the network and improving the service. So far, it’s really not that bad (as long as you’re not one of the initial investors) but it’s still funny…

One of the promises of social media in the early days was that it would help businesses generate new customers by exposing their brands and products to people who otherwise might never see them. It was a great reinforcement tool; much in the same way that television ads work through passive acceptance and absorption of messages, so too does social media allow for exposure while people are in their “happy place”.

There are indeed various types of Social Discovery sites out there that cater to our interests using experience and science to calculate what to recommend or suggest to us, its users. …

Express yourself in various forms on Facebook, from articles, photos, videos and now… emoticons? That is right, Facebook quietly rolled out the ability to add emoticons to comments and Facebook Messenger (mobile app). However, these are the only two spots you will see them since emoticons will not be seen on status updates or through Facebook’s mobile app. …

It is often thought that content marketing is something only businesses need to worry about, but this just isn’t true. If you use social media as a platform to write or to share content than content marketing applies to you too. Just like a business, bloggers and socialites want what they share online to reach an engaging audience, therefore, everyone strives to be successful online it’s just how the word “success” is defined that is different. …

First off searching for articles such as these can become a bit confusing, so spending time writing your own can probably be more useful, since many sites can lead you astray with their maverick/maven/guru tricks that make you do backflips when really you need to pay attention to the details. …
