Facebook’s precursor - Commonplace books

"Commonplace books were a means for constructing a “profile” of what you liked. They were shared with other people as a way of showing off your taste and your circle of friends."

Script that prepares photos for Facebook

"Copying images to your computer, or rotating them, may ruin the files’ time (of last modification). If your album contains images from several cameras, the file names can’t be used to sort the images either. The following command renames the files to the second they were taken"

"This is a follow-up of an earlier post. The topic remains the same; merging photo albums from different cameras while preserving chronological order, and removing potentially private metadata.

Like many others, I have noticed that Facebook increased its photo size from 604 to 720 pixels. At the same time, I noticed that the commands in my last post weren’t perfect. I have tried to write an improved script"

10 Awesome Ways To Hack Facebook Status Updates

"1. Tag Others In Your Status Update Type “@” before someone or something’s name in the status bar. An auto-generated drop-down list of those in your social circle starting with that letter will appear. It works with people, pages, events, brands and companies. Click the name you want, finish the update and hit share. The name becomes a hyperlink and the status shows up on that person’s wall, too."

How to split up the US

"Stayathomia

Stretching from New York to Minnesota, this belt's defining feature is how near most people are to their friends, implying they don't move far. In most cases outside the largest cities, the most common connections are with immediately neighboring cities, and even New York only has one really long-range link in its top 10. Apart from Los Angeles, all of its strong ties are comparatively local."

Nigerian President Shows How Politicians Should Use Facebook

"Today, in fulfillment of the promise I made at the 26th convocation of the University of Port Harcourt on Saturday, 15 May 2010, I have created a facebook fan page to interact with Nigerians. As I said on that day, there is an unchallengeable power of good in the Nigerian nation and her youth and through this medium I want Nigerians to give me the privilege of relating with them without the trappings of office. GEJ

And he has done just that. Every post to his wall is an invitation for Nigerians to engage with his government, on issues ranging from new government appointments to the environment, inflation to soccer. His posts garner between 1,000 to 3,000 comments a piece – huge numbers that indicate that the people of Nigeria are eager to have their voices heard."

Are You Making These 10 Mistakes on Facebook?

"1. Failing to showcase (or even mention) your books on the Facebook profile.

I am amazed at how many authors don't even mention their books on their Facebook profile. Be sure to include a description of your books in the "About You" section, which is on the Info screen of your profile.

Another good strategy is to call yourself an author in the current job title that you list in the Employers section of the profile, then list your business name or book name as your current employer. Both your job title and employer name show up at the very top of your profile, which gives you great visibility. "

How Outposts Improve Your Ecosystem

"Thinking of your primary online presence as your home base (and it doesn’t have to be a blog, but Twitter isn’t necessarily the right medium, I don’t think), and then thinking of the places where you make social connections as your outposts (realized I forgot LinkedIn, but I’m there too, obviously), then you see how you might prioritize your time and/or how you might try keeping the value chain alive.
