Or that the average American spends seven hours and 46 minutes browsing her friends' profiles per month? Facebook has become an integral part of our lives — some people more than others.

Facebook power users 'have gone to Google+ and Twitter' Facebook Timeline Launch Date: Unraveling the Mystery. Ever since Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook Timeline last month, the tech world has been busy trying to guess when the new profile layout — which focuses on users' entire lives rather than their most recent updates — will launch for all Facebook users.
Would it be Sept. 29? Obviously not, since that date came and went. Oct. 6? Nope. How about Oct. 19? Here's what seems to be happening: When users activate the Timeline feature, Facebook gives them a date when their personal profiles will publish. Anecdotally, the date when Timeline profiles go live seems to relate to when the profile was activated. Some observers have interpreted the multiple dates as evidence that Facebook has pushed back its public launch of Timelines, perhaps as a result of a trademark lawsuit that was filed by Timelines.com (nothing in the legal filing indicates that Facebook changed its Timeline launch date).

Bulgarian Journalist Banned from Facebook over Report on Katunitsa Clashes: Bulgarian Journalist Banned from Facebook over Report on Katunitsa Clashes. Google + Bulgarian journalist and reporter from the TV channel bTV, Mirolyuba Benatova (l). Photo by Sofia Photo Agency Bulgarian journalist and reporter from the TV channel bTV, Mirolyuba Benatova, has written a note on Facebook after her profile and personal page have been deleted by the administrators.
Benatova was one of the first Bulgarian reporters to arrive in the village of Katunitsa last Friday after clashes and arson erupted. The journalist became under fire for saying in a live TV broadcast that the people who were destroying properties were football club hooligans. Tensions in Bulgaria were sparked by the September 23 murder of Bulgarian youngster, Angel Petrov, 19, who was deliberately run over by a minivan, driven, according to witnesses, by one of the relatives of notorious Roam boss from Katunitsa, Kiril Rashkov AKA Tsar Kiro.

TNW Facebook (TNWfacebook) What happend at Facebook F8? Here's everything you need - TNW Facebook. It was a packed day at Facebook’s F8 event, and the keynote did not disappoint. In this post we are going to go over every important piece of news that the company announced, all in one place.
The day started, oddly enough, with a comedy introduction by Andy Samberg pretending to be Mark Zuckerberg. He joked that Facebook no longer counted its users, because it had so many that it no longer cared. The audience was relieved to know that after being delayed for some time, that Facebook wanted to assuage their annoyed minds by wasting a touch more of their time.
The awkward presentation garnered negative reviews. Early in the keynote, it was revealed that half a billion people used Facebook in a single recent day. Timeline Facebook announced ‘Timeline‘ today, what it calls the ‘story of your life.’ This is what it looks like: Timeline contains an algorithm that summarizes your content based on two parameters: how important something was, and how long ago it occurred. Apps OpenGraph. How To Enable Facebook Timeline Right This Second. [Update 12/15/2011: Facebook Timeline is now available to all Facebook users. Learn more about the global Timeline rollout for web, as well as Timeline for iPhone, mobile web and Android. To enable Timeline for your profile, visit This morning Facebook announced Timeline, a crazy (and kind of creepy) omnibus look at everything that has ever happened in your Facebook lifespan. It’s like a story book of your life — or at least the online, documented parts.
Facebook said that Timeline would be on the way for everyone sometime in the coming weeks… which is great and all, for everyone else. You’re the type of person who reads TechCrunch, and are thus likely the type of person who likes their new and shiny things right now. That’s okay. Fortunately, enabling Timeline a bit early isn’t too difficult — but it’s not at all straight forward, either. You see, Facebook is enabling Timeline early for open graph developers. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Source: Facebook To Launch Read, Listened, Watched, And Want Buttons.
The cat is out of the bag that Facebook is going to launch something big at its developer conference f8 this week. We’ve heard about the social music services that could be debuting in a few days, but as the New York Times conveyed this past weekend, Facebook is planning for ways to surface personal content better. And we’ve heard from a source that Facebook will introduce new buttons on the wall that will begin introducing some granularity to the “Like” concept.
We’re told these new buttons are “Read,” “Listened,” “Watched.” The network will also soon launch new social commerce buttons like “Want” following the introductions of the aforementioned buttons. It’s important to qualify that this is from a source (and not from Facebook) but from what we hear, Facebook users will be able to click Read, Listened, Watched on content in their news feed. And it’s unclear what will happen to the Like button and how these new buttons will affect the Like button. NEWS FLASH: Facebook Pages Can’t Send Messages. Say goodbye to messaging — as a way for pages to send messages to their fans, that is. Reader Kevin Evanetski, a social media strategist and founder of Social Yeah, tipped us off. He said that while managing his Facebook brand page, he clicked on “edit page,” followed by resources, and saw the following message: After clicking “read more,” he was directed to Facebook’s help center, where he read: When we checked on this while surfing Facebook using the identity of our own page, we discovered that the messaging icon has already disappeared from the navigation bar.
Perhaps the September 30 deadline — noted in the help center — marks when the capability will disappear for all pages. While this may sound like a big loss for marketers and page administrators in particular, the actual impact is minimal. Understanding Facebook’s Promotion Guidelines. Advit Sahdev is the CEO of ODigMa, an India-based Facebook advertising agency which works closely with Facebook.
In the past few days several major Facebook pages have been taken down due to the violation of the network’s promotion guidelines. These pages include Pizza Hut India, Myntra, Cadbury Bournville, and FCUK India. Why would Facebook do this? Why would they be so strict in ensuring that pages follow promotion guidelines? Here are some of my thoughts on Facebook’s promotional guidelines which will help you understand the recent event better.
“Promotions on Facebook must be administered within Apps on Facebook.com, either on a Canvas Page or an app on a Page Tab.” So basically you have to use an application to administer a promotion (contest, competition etc). As a page owner, shouldn’t I be allowed to run promotions on my business page? The purpose of executing promotions via apps is to ensure business owners respect users’ data. 10 key facebook marketing tips from mediafeedia « mediafeedia. Facebook PR: Tonight We Dine In Hell! There’s currently something going on in the outskirts of the tech world that’s a bit sensitive, so no one really likes to talk about it: we (journalists, bloggers, etc) are at war with the PR industry. That sentence alone will throw the PR flacks into a tizzy. “Hyperbole!”
“Sexy statement, no substance!” “Don’t believe everything you read!” And all the other bullshit they typically spew to blunt interesting concepts into dull, gray PR-friendly dribble. We are at war. And no, this isn’t about dumbass embargoes (though that remains a huge problem that the PR industry doesn’t seem to have any real interest in solving). The fact of the matter is that the entire PR industry is like a weed growing out of control. Now, I don’t mean to suggest that all PR people are evil or have the wrong intentions. Case in point: Facebook. A couple days ago, I wrote a story about a secret Facebook project called “Project Spartan“.

ShareThis Study: Facebook Accounts For 38 Percent Of Sharing Traffic On The Web. Sharing is big on the Web. We all know that. But exactly how big? ShareThis has some answers in a study it put together with Starcom MediaVest Group and Rubinson Partners.

News is emerging that Facebook is set to launch a new music service with Spotify. As reported on Forbes, the music streaming service could be launched in as little as two weeks, and the integrated service is still going through testing.
It’s thought that Facebook users will see a Spotify icon appear on the left side of their newsfeed, along with the usual icons for photos and events. By clicking on the Spotify icon, users will install the music streaming service on their desktop in the background, and will enable Facebook users to tap into the millions of songs in Spotify’s library. And to add to the social aspect, the source told Forbes that there will be a feature that will let users listen to music with friends at the same time. However, it’s worth noting that the service will only be available in countries where Spotify is currently offered, which is Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France, Spain and the Netherlands.
