Jim Walberg is a good friend and like me he is an avid cyclist and fan of the Tour de France. I whole heartily recommend everyone follow him on Facebook. He's one of the warmest human beings you'll ever meet, should you be so lucky. But unlike me, Jim doesn’t record the race on his DVR to …
Facebook Changed My Email!!!!!
I hope all those extra exclamation points added to the drama didn't they? I keep seeing post after post on how Facebook changed all our email addresses to the default @facebook.com ones without our permission. I'll start an online petition as soon as I finish writing this post. #not Truth …

How to block a App in your Facebook Feed.
Here’s a few ways to better control what Apps notify you, post as you and show in your feed. It used to be a single link that allowed you to block an App, either from that Apps Page or from right in your stream. Facebook took away the App Pages and moved things around. (don’t they …
My Super Secret Facebook Tip of the Day
Officially my most favorite super secret Facebook tip is the use of LISTS. That's the all time, hands down, winner winner chicken dinner. Today's Tip is using the Favorites section of your home page. With it you can see which groups and pages have new action and quickly go right to the …
I hate Facebook’s New Timeline
Personally I don't, but I do hear that line all the time. Back in September of 2011, Facebook announced the new Timeline at their developer conference and immediately made it an option for Developers to turn on and try on their own Profiles. In a cool little trick you had to have Timeline on your …
Facebook 101: Leaving a Conversation
Have you ever been tagged in a multiple person message? Sometimes that's great. Often times when I'm building a Facebook App there is need for a conversation between 4 or 5 people so that we are all on the same page. But then there are situations where someone includes me (and a bunch of other …
Things that make me Happy…
This one was certainly headed for last weeks "Things that make me sad" post. There's nothing like sending a private message to 230+ of your 'friends'. Facebook even gave him a warning stating that messaging all your friends was spamming. Normally I'd blur the details out, you'll see later why …
Facebook Better: Invite Your Friends (Events)
As a fellow person in the sales industry let me just say that 'we' as a group are different. Very Different. Case in point: the average normal human being has 130 friends in Facebook. Add to that, they actually know each and every one of those people. How many friends do you have right now? …

That Facebook Group isn’t really yours
We love Facebook and we really love the open dialogue that happens on our Profile, our Pages, and the Groups we partake in. The problem is that you really only have control over 2 of the 3. Huh? Groups are not yours. Technically speaking, a group belongs to …
Expanding Your Sphere: The Timeline
I want to delve into the idea of expanding or enriching your sphere of influence. In the past you might have heard someone say, “It’s all about the numbers”, or maybe “It’s not about the numbers it’s the quality of the relationships”. Ok, so who’s right? (hint: I’m not going to answer that) I …
