I read a report that 1 in 4 brands have switched over to the new Timeline for Pages. As of right now 8 MILLION Pages have switched. You can switch yours now or you can wait till Facebook forces the switch on March 30th and start playing catch up. It’s called Staying Ahead of the Curve and yeah …
How to drive traffic to your Custom Facebook Page App
Now that you've switched your page over to the new Timeline style you can no longer set the “Default Landing Tab”. In case you didn’t know, you could determine which tab or app anyone who had not yet liked your Page saw first. That popular feature was discontinued by Facebook but that doesn’t mean …
Yet another Facebook App post?
Yeah, sorry about that. Here’s the thing. So very often we tend to set and forget. I fight it constantly myself. When was the last time you looked at your website as a “visitor”? How about as a visitor using a different browser? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve added a plugin only to find …
Timeline for Pages
Change happens… Accept it, adapt to it, and make it work for you. There’s a bunch of misinformation, a bunch of conjecture, and a bunch of guessing going on right now. Here’s what we do know, and of course it’s all subject to change. You can enable the new Timeline on your Page now. You …
Pinterest Poorly
So… Last week I created a small graphic voicing my opinion on how some people are using Pinterest poorly. Just my opinion, and I'm sticking by it. The graphic got a few shares, a few re-pins, and generally spread around as you might expect. Yay for me! In a seemingly an unrelated post, …
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 …

Facebook Better: Your Facebook Birthday Greetings SUCK!
One of the best things about having friends in Facebook is the notification that one of your ‘friends’ is having a birthday. I may have forgotten every one of my ‘in real life’ friends birthdays but Facebook has made sure I don’t forget about those that are my ‘online friends’. While that’s a …
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 …
Social Media Policy in real life
Could a $30 part cost you a $3,000 sale? How about 9 little words? A tale about customer service and why you need a social media policy in place, right now. Long story short, I’m an avid mountain biker. I live at the base of all things, a mountain (go figure) and I try to ride at least an …
How to Disable the new Facebook Scroller
So you don’t like the new Facebook Dashboard, or the Newsfeed and the new Scroller keeps pulling you away from what you want to see. Change is inevitable and in social media – it happens very quickly. So quit crying Cupcake, let’s all man up a little and deal with the new Facebook, ok? Besides, …
