Tweet Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that one of my pet projects, Bannerize.me, will soon be phased out due to the upcoming Facebook profile changes. I decided that instead of letting all that hard work go to waste, I would send all current Bannerize.me users to a new site, Coverize.me. There are hundreds…
Tweet NOTE: Facebook isn’t happy about this workaround and is trying to put a stop to it. I’ve heard it still works for some but not for everyone. Since the recent launch of Google+, Facebook has frantically shut down any Google Chrome extension or tool that allows you to retrieve your friend’s email addresses. They…
Tweet Hi everyone! Sorry no posts lately…have had a lot going on. I hope to resume regular posting here in a week or two. For the past few weeks I have been launching bannerize.me. The site has over 500 banners up already and more are being added daily. If you haven’t already, go check it…
Tweet So, I haven’t been around much lately, not because I didn’t want to blog, but because I’ve been working on this little idea I had. Now that the new Facebook profile layout was announced, you can personalize your Facebook profile with a banner! I’ve been working hard over the past two weeks to launch…
Tweet Did you know there is a way to go completely stealth on Facebook? Concerns about privacy issues on the site are rampant, yet with over 2 million sites across the web using Facebook Connect, you are at a disadvantage not to have an account. If you currently don’t have a Facebook account and have…
Tweet I am breaking the normal schedule today to post this, since today, Friday, January 28th, 2011 is National Data Privacy Day. It is no wonder Facebook launched a new option to experience the site over HTTPS today of all days. If you frequently visit Facebook from a public internet connection found at coffee shops, airports,…
Tweet Happy Friday everyone! My blog post about my Barbados trip is a work in progress, so in the meantime, here’s a Flashback Friday post. In case you missed it, last week’s topic was Dave Matthews Band. This week’s topic is….Facebook! Below are some previous blog posts about Facebook (in no particular order): HOW TO: Personalize Your…
Tweet I am an extremely loyal consumer, and when I see companies using social media to reach out to their customers, it makes me like them even more. One company who has impressed me with their use of Twitter is GoDaddy. I have hosted Basically Becky through GoDaddy.com since my site’s inception in June 2009. I had…
Tweet NOTE: If you don’t want to know key aspects of the film (i.e. SPOILERS), you probably shouldn’t read this post. I decided to skip the opening weekend crowds and see The Social Network on a Monday afternoon. The theater was empty at first but soon filled up with all kinds of people – young ones playing…
I was so honored to be asked to be a guest on the Striker Corbin Motivational Program on BlogTalkRadio.com. In the hour that we had, we spoke about the Save Becky story which led to how I first got involved with Social Media. We discussed Facebook, Twitter and how they work together and I also gave some tips for people tweeting for the first time as a business or on your own page. If you missed the show, you can listen to it in it’s entirety below.
Tweet No no, I’m not quitting Facebook, at least not yet. But this video is pretty funny:
Tweet OK, not really, but I was very excited when I saw it. For only being on Twitter for a year, that’s not too shabby. According to Mashable, this is a Twitter bug that has been going on for some time: We’ve e-mailed Twitter and asked them what’s happening. It seems that besides the unusually…
Tweet This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LeapFish Inc. All opinions are 100% mine. When I was turning 13, my parents gave me a choice: A birthday party or a computer. As you may have guessed, I chose the computer. A birthday party lasted 3 hours. A computer would bring…
Tweet I recently came across a new social networking site called Knoyce. The word Knoyce is based on the word nice, but it implies that something is “better than just nice”. And that it is. Knoyce is a combination of all the great things on all sorts of social media sites. On Knoyce you can: Create a customized…
