Facebook Timeline Finally Available To Everyone Worldwide

Facebook has announced an update on the Facebook blog today that the rollout of Timeline, its new profile page concept and layout, is now available wordwide. Timeline was originally introduced at the Facebook f8 conference on September 22, 2011, but was limited to only a few people and those who took the time to install the “developer” version (yes, for geeks like me who couldn’t wait). Timeline is, according to Facebook, “…a new kind of profile that lets you highlight the photos, posts and life events that help you tell your story”. It looks completely different from the “old” Facebook, which was [...]

Those Pesky Facebook Thumbnails…And How To Get Them To Work

One of the ways to add more content to Facebook posts is by adding a hyperlink to an external website (for example another web page or a video on YouTube). When you add a link, you may see those Facebook thumbnails on various posts – small image or video thumbnails that appear on the left side of many posts on your news stream or other people’s walls. The question is how do they appear, and why is it that sometimes when you try and post a link to a post, the image that you thought would appear as a thumbnail just [...]

How to Cross-Publish Posts from Twitter to Facebook

One of the ways you can share content between your social networks is to allow your accounts to connect or “sync” with each other. On Facebook, you can connect your Twitter account to your Facebook Page so that your “Tweets” automatically appear as Facebook Page posts on your Page Wall.

This means that you can share information with both your Twitter followers as well as your Facebook fans. How To Connect With Twitter There are several different ways you can connect Facebook with Twitter so [...]

To Post or Not To Post: How Often Should You Post on Facebook?

How Often Is Enough? One of the most common questions about posting on Facebook is “How Often is Enough – or Too Much?” The answer isn’t a simple one. The real question is “How often will my posts be seen by my visitors?” If you post too little, you defeat the whole purpose of being on Facebook, which is to stay top of mind and visible. If you post too much, you may become annoying, and even end up “Unliked” by visitors.

Facebook Developer RoadMap – Changes to Apps and SSL

In an effort to provide enhanced security for Facebook users, Facebook has announced that all canvas applications must be processed through SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) as of October 1st, 2011.
