No doubt you've heard that it's against the Terms of Service to use your Facebook Profile in a commercial way. But EVERYONE does it... Yes, we do. Even I do (on a small scale from time to time). You do too? Don't worry, we'll just keep that between us. As a refresher, remember Facebook …

How to Trick The Google
I've played a few tricks on you in the past. Most recently I've shown you how I got ranked at the top for a huge trending topic. That was a trick - I was really illustrating the power of social search - or as Google puts it "Personal Results". When I'm signed in to Google, any search I do is …
Poisoning The Well

Yet another Facebook App post?

Hitting the 5,000 friend limit on Facebook
Here’s yet another post that was initiated by a question on my Facebook Page (thanks Carole!) In case you didn’t know, Facebook will limit the friends you can have. It’s a 5,000 friend + Page LIKE limit and few real people will ever hit that. When you do hit it, you can no longer add a …
