When users sign into their accounts, they can select to view either the “News feed” tab or the “Live Feed” tab. The news feed will feature items Facebook believes are of most value to you, while the live feed will list everything that is going on with your friends.

When users are on their news feed tab, the live feed tab will keep track of how many new posts have been added. This is similar to Facebook’s recent news feed which notifies users when new posts are added.

Facebook has also added information back to the News Feed, like when friends are tagged in photos, when friends become fans of pages or join a group, when they RSVP to events, and when they add friends

Watch the video and learn how to ‘tame your feeds’ so that you have a better experience with what you see in your feeds.
Many people don’t realize several features that they use to help.

Couple of key features people miss…

• Changing the amount of friends that the default setting is set at.
• Using Friends lists and adjusting where the list folder is placed

My husband is a huge movie buff and thought of him when I saw this. Do you have someone you know that can use a line from a movie in general conversation? I call these random quotes movie-isms.  I have learned the ‘language’ after many years married. I GET his references now. He never states ‘this is from a line in a movie’, he just adds it to general conversation.

Can your business be quoted in a line in a movie?
Is your business memorable? If not would you like your business to be memorable?
Who are your business buffs?
Do you need help making this happen?

If you answered yes to these questions and would like some solutions and business help to make that happen contact Virtual Business Solutions

What exactly is a “twebinar”? Using Twitter and a webinar. Participants in a webinar or even a teleseminar watch and listen from the sidelines but join in on the conversation before, during and after each Twebinar.

Participants can watch and listen to the Twebinar just as you would with a normal web based webinar, or teleseminar except with these added benefits:

• Other participants in the event can have conversation which is ongoing as participants ‘tweet’ ( ask questions, and/or discuss the webinar series on Twitter)
• Follow other participants and presenter to create networking and business relationships
• Presenter gets a feel  for what content to go over ahead of time if participants  ‘tweet’ questions ahead of time
• Presenter gets feedback  after the event and continues dialog and relationship
• Announcing Event  details can be ‘Retweeted’ and promoted
• Use hashtags to follow event before, during and after
  (The hash symbol followed by a tag is used to identify a topic on Twitter. Hashtags make it much easier to search for all posts on the same topic using the Twitter search engines.)
  Example @virtualbiz4u #twittertip or if it an upcoming webinar the initials of what the event is called

Anyone else have anything else to add that are the benefits of a Twebinar please leave comments below.

I happen to love FF #FollowFriday  because it gives me a chance to highlight the people I really enjoy following…people who make a sincere contribution. #Follow Friday.

You may have seen people use the hash # symbol in some of their Twitter posts.

The hash symbol followed by a tag is used to identify a topic on Twitter. Hashtags make it much easier to search for all posts on the same topic using the Twitter search engines.

Friday you nominate people who you think are worth following (perhaps the best new people that you’ve met over the past couple of weeks or your long time favorites).

To keep up to date with all the developments, on Friday, just use a service such as Tweet Grid or Monitter and search for #followfriday.  As the page updates, you will see hundreds or even thousands of people who recommend good people to follow on Twitter.
You can also just type in your search bar in on your Twitter page #followfriday.
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23followfriday

To take part, just post the Twitter usernames of people you recommend that other people follow, then add #followfriday to your tweet so that other people can find it.

I HIGHLY recommend you put why you recommend. This will make your contribution more valuable, you may want to group the people that you recommend into a certain category. For example, the top graphic artist or web developers  to follow etc.  Because this hashtag has become so popular some  people begin to ignore it seeing it as ‘noise’.  If you put the category or the VALUE of these “follow worthy” tweeters the effort you made will be noticed and received.

To Quickly Create your  followfriday list  you use a tool the twittertag project

How twittertag project tool Works

Tired of manually inputting names for Follow Friday tweets? Well do I have a solution for you!

1. Type in your twitter username.
2. The engine will scan the last 200 tweets, count the dups, and return your most active friends.
3. The results will display:#FollowFriday @friend1 @friend2 @friend3 @friend4…

The other idea to add to the #followfriday concept is to also add something in your Twitter bio that says see my  #followfavorites

Follow Friday provides you with three major opportunities to attract new followers;

First, if one of your followers nominates you as a good person to follow, this will create a certain amount of interest in your profile.  You are also getting a ‘referral’ and we all know in business getting a referral gives you the client already warmed up to your business.

Second, it will give you plenty of ideas of who to follow.

Third, as more people are tuned in to the idea of finding new followers, they’re more likely to follow you back.

Fourth, by seeing your name referred your name becomes familiar so even if they don’t follow you the first time they will eventually once your name becomes familiar to them.

So this Friday, make time in your schedule for Twitter and get ready to find a range of new, high-quality followers.
