(hubze) Facebook is a great way to grow your customer base and a unique opportunity to really see and hear first-hand what the needs and wants of your fans are.  In order for you to experience these benefits, it is important to make your fans feel appreciated. When a customer or potential customer takes the time to visit your Facebook Fan Page to leave a comment or ask a question, this is a perfect opportun ...

(hubze) I thought we were waiting on Facebook to put out some new brand pages (fan pages desperately need to be integrated with Timeline for the sake of continuity). However Twitter has shot-up out of the blue and beat Facebook to the punch with some ultra-mod brand pages to die for-- seriously, you might die before you can pay for one of these. But before we get into financials, let's just take a look! The ...

(hubze) Learning another language is difficult, but that doesn't mean it is impossible. You can thank the forefathers like Myspace and Email that brought a certain informality to communication (not toe mention mobile fever). All languages change over time and having grown-up with the technology that made way for radiant little phrases like GTFO and LMAO, I can't help but take an interest. Everything is prac ...

(hubze) There is a new social network on the block, driving more traffic than YouTube, and grabbing the user-ship of huge names that are way too cool for Facebook...and i'll bet you never even heard of it. Pinterest is a social pin board where users amass their interests ("pinning") into a streamline mosaic of photographs and blurbs. There is a Pinterest devoted to the weird, the geeky, and the world. Pinte ...

(hubze) Have you ever had to deal with Facebook drama or gotten into a Twitter fight? Urban Dictionary defines Facebook drama as “drama that occurs on facebook. Because of how facebook is built, there is a high degree of access to others conversations, and people who may have never talked see what others say. Since all people believe they are right, they feel the need to point out where others are wrong, in ...

(hubze) A little while ago I posted about Homeland Security watching activity on social media. Twitter and Facebook are by nature hotspots for opinions ranging from the radical to the mundane. You can decide where the following tweets fall in the spectrum. Two young Brits were detained and deported for tweeting. Apparently the two were flagged by Homeland Security before they even arrived in the States. A w ...

(hubze) On Facebook the amount of friends a person has is trivial. However on Twitter it is no secret that the main point is to have a lot of followers. Each individual follower is an endorsement: "yes, I think what you have to say is valuable." But how do you increase your followers? Today is the day to think outside of your personal following. Think about all the followers your followers have! A key area ...

(hubze) We have a visual: a new enemy has risen out of the ashes of SOPA/PIPA  and it is super ugly--  ACTA is a global anti-piracy bill that will neuter the internet once and for all. As you may have heard, SOPA/PIPA are controversial anti-piracy bills that were crushed by the combined backlash of voters and Internet Gods: Facebook, Google, Wikipedia, Twitter and many others. Respected figures  across the ...

(hubze) So Facebook has informed users that they will be moving all profiles into the new Timeline format, whether they "like" it or not. The gracious opt-in period was just enough time for users to start to think, maybe, Timeline is just a phase, maybe, all is not lost. Nevertheless, Tuesday's announcement that Timeline is Mandatory, has me wondering how exactly Facebook is going to make anyone do anything ...

(hubze) Jailbreaking has been the cool thing to do in the United States-- at least for tech-savvy iOS owners who dare to go the distance. In 2010 the U.S. Copyright Office decided that jailbreaking devices wasnot a crime. Until recently, the only risk run by jailbreakers have been warranty voids and the likelihood that your iOS device will discombobulate. Last Friday a new tool called the A5 Absinthe tool c ...
