Facebook Video Party
Facebook Video Party 12 Participants Moderation Controls HD Video Apparently you can mute the whole room for presentations, kick/ban trolls, and has two extra spots for presenters. I’ve heard the video and sound quality is absolutely unreal, plus you’ll be able to use a bluetooth headset with the iphone to participate via mobile. I’ll try to see if I can get a beta screen shot sometime tomorrow. via https://plus.google.com/115957092291818573863/posts/cAVySAw8icX

Facebook: Account Temporarily Unavailable
As of this morning it looks like Facebook is experiencing a network wide problem. Facebook is broken. The message it is giving is “Account Temporarily Unavailable” Facebook also says “Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes.”
Google Bans Adwords use for Facebook
You can no longer use Google Adwords to advertise things on Facebook. If you have anything that is related to Facebook and want to promote it, you will first need to get it approved by the Adwords team. I learned about this from a friend who has founded a social media marketing company who was trying to do some advertising. He sent me a transcript of the phone conversation he just had with a Google Adwords representative so I could share it here. Caller: Hello, I am calling because I received a promotion to advertise our company on Adwords. Google Adwords Rep: Hello, let me just get your name, email address, and website please. Caller: ____, _____, and _____. Google Adwords Rep: What is it that your company does? Caller: We assist small businesses establish an effective presence on Facebook and Twitter. Google Adwords Rep: Alright well I will actually have to check with my higher up to get this approved because we recently stopped running Adwords for Facebook. Caller: You did? Why? Google Adwords Rep: Yes, well we are currently in a fierce legal battle with Facebook so we have started screening our Adwords. We are turning down adwords that promote Facebook. I will email you within the next two days to let you know whether or not your Adwords campaign is approved. Maybe that fierce legal battle, which they are not discussing the details of, is related to Facebook’s advertisements, or the new Google Plus One service, which looks very … Continue reading
Facebook Forced Profile Upgrade
I’ve been trying to avoid upgrading my face book profile. But it seems that Facebook is now forcing users to upgrade. When I signed on I received this message: Coming Soon: Your New Profile In the next few days you’ll be upgraded to the new profile, which offers more ways to show and tell your story. While Facebook continues to introduce new features, many of the features involve creating ways to link people to places, websites, organizations, and, of course, other people. The more links and “relationships” Facebook can create, the more data-mining they can do, and the more targeted advertising they can develop. Did you wonder why they wanted to launch an e-mail service?!
Twitter on Facebook Pages
Thought I’d post this here, too: I wanted to share a facebook application I just learned about. It adds a tab to a facebook “page” that shows twitter updates: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=53267368995#/apps/application.php?v=wall&id=53267368995 It was difficult to find, I didn’t realize it was possible. For a long time I thought facebook only allowed you to push your FB updates to twitter, and not vice versa. Hope you find it useful. They have a free and pro version. I’m using free.
