Facebook Still A Spelling Mistake

I think it's about time that Facebook gets added to the dictionary or at least when you write a post on facebook. Don't you?

Schedule your Facebook Page Post & Post as a Fan

Facebook just released two updates; you can now schedule or backdate your fan page posts and page admins can post on their pages as fans as seen below. However, you don't want to lose that "brand-response" to fans so use it wisely.

Bret Taylor, Chief Technology Officer leaves Facebook for a new start up

Bret Taylor, Facebook's Chief Technology Officer just announced on facebook that he is leaving facebook to start a new company with Kevin Gibbs, a close friend of his.

He has not disclosed what kind of start up it will be but Kevin Gibbs is a Stanford graduate and works at Google

Here's Bret's facebook post just posted recently:

" I wanted to let you all know that I'll be leaving Facebook later this summer. I'm sad to be leaving, but I'm excited to be starting a company with my friend Kevin Gibbs.

While a transition like this is never easy, I'm extremely confident in the teams and leadership we have in place. I'm very proud of our recent accomplishments in our platform and mobile products, from Open Graph and App Center toFacebook Camera and our iOS integration. I'm even more excited for the world to see all the amazing things these teams have coming.

I've learned more than I ever imagined in my time at Facebook. I'm also extremely grateful for my relationship with all of the amazing people I've worked with here.

I want to give a special thanks to Mark Zuckerberg. You've not only been my boss for the past three years, but my mentor and one of my closest friends.

Thanks to all of you at Facebook for the most incredible three years of my life." 




I believe that Bret has done an excellent job at facebook, and I wish him all the best of luck in his new start up.. 

Search Enters The World of Social Media

Introducing "Search plus Your World"
Back in March 2011 on my Posterous, I asked what if Facebook adds search? Well, It's hasn't happened yet, but close enough Google has just launched its master plan today while the whole world has its cameras and desktops geared towards the CES event in Las Vegas. Jack Menzel, product management director of search at Google explained that members of Google+ will be able to search agaisnt both the broader web and their own Google+ social graph.




Google's "Search plus Your World" will show results from both the web and across your circles. Watch this video to see how it works.

Mashable in it's last post also had the same question as I had, "is it time for Facebook to finally launch that fabled Facebook Search Engine?" Seems like we are heading towards that direction. So get ready for the ride, and share with us your thoughts on  it.

Facebook Fan Page Posts Lost in the News Feed?

How Can My Posts Live Longer on the News Feed?

Are you a facebook fan page admin and your posts get lost in the mix? Do your posts stay in the "Top News" feed on the home page?

Here's a tip, post when the traffic is high, usually people are infront of their computers during the evening. So I suggest you post twice one during the day and once during the evening.

Another thing is; have you considered the different time zones of your fans? check your fan page's insights and allocate posts according to the different time zones.
Cheers,
