Google News is without a doubt the reason why we where we are today.  And, the social networking aspect of Google News has helped us tremendously.

[video] How to (Un)Market on Facebook if Your Audience Knows and Likes You

I’m back again, continuing the Facebook Business Basics series.  

If you went to my Facebook page, you saw two videos about how you can find people on Facebook who may be interested in you and let them come back to your site. This video talks about  what to do once you have someone viewing your profile. (more…)

Quick Announcements Regarding the Facebook Videos & Status of Sites

Before we continue, I want to let you know I’m aware of the video embed problem with videos from my Facebook fan page.

Apparently even if you embed a video to a page, which is supposed to be visible to Everyone even outside of Facebook, some people still can’t see it.

So I’m uploading the videos to our free member site over at Leveraged Promotion, and using that embed code to feature them here.

If you couldn’t see Why Facebook Matters, The Psychological Side of the Facebook Experience, or Leveraging Your Profile via News Feed vs Other People’s Profile Promotion (otherwise known as Why Facebook Spam Fails), the new embeds visible to everyone are now live at those links.

You can become a fan of mine at Facebook to see all the videos in the series in one place. If you’re looking to be able to connect with me directly and don’t know me yet, that’s your best bet.

Ever since someone told me I was on Facebook Grader’s Elite User page last month I’ve been in a constant state of amusement about it for three reasons. 

  1. I was still getting Facebook traffic every day, whether I spend zero minutes or an hour there each day,
  2. All the social media scoring sites amuse me to no end, because though they mean well, they miss the point,
  3. At the time I had about half the friends of most of the people on that list, and while I updated Facebook nearly every day, I almost never logged into to do it. I had the stats to legitimately be on the list, but I worked about 10% as hard to get them as anyone else on that list.

F Dash Dash Dash Follower Numbers

Yeah. They’re talking about Twitter again.


From The Twitter Fantasy | Collaboration 2.0

I smell Beanie Babies, Housing Bubbles and Dutch Tulip Manias – there’s a frenzy around followers that will boom and bust.  Few people know why these various followers are of value apart from to try and sell to them, often in a way that would be very at home on the home shopping channel, ideas, services and stuff.

 

It’s already bust among the savvy. The problem is the savvy folks are not the majority of the general population.

partytime.jpgIt seems to me that if you can learn how to be the life of the party, you can learn how to work the social media scene. Let’s think of it as a party then, and do a run down of how it would work out.
