How To Use Facebook Places For Your Business Want to have your own business show up within Facebook Places? For companies that have a physical location it makes sense to have a Facebook Place in order to track the people who are stopping by your store, office, or venue. As such, Facebook has released a new guide for businesses to learn how to merge Facebook Pages and Facebook Places into a single Page. The final result is a newly designed Facebook Page which includes location-relevant information. While you can view the guide below for all the steps required to claim your Facebook Place and merge it with your Facebook Page, we’ve broken down the process into 3 easy steps. Step 1: Create Or Claim Your Place If nobody has checked in to your company’s venue, you’ll need to load up the Facebook iPhone application or Facebook for touch devices on a compatible phone and check if your place exists already. Step 2: Claim The Place As Yours Facebook will discover the phone number. Step 3: Merge Your Place & Page Done!
Blog Archive » Facebook versus OpenSocial Het was wel een bewogen weekje in de wereld van Social Networks. Vorige week werd aangekondigd dat Microsoft tegen een belachelijke waardering een uitermate klein belang nam in Facebook, dat daarmee een fictieve beurswaarde van 10 miljard Euro (15 miljard dollar) kreeg. Microsoft moest wel, wilde het in de race blijven. Kapers zoals Google zouden op de kust zijn, was het verhaal. Niet dus, zoals gisteren bleek. Afgelopen week ontving ik achter elkaar e-mails van kennissen en vrienden die me graag wilden toevoegen als contact aan Plaxo Pulse. Met Plaxo Pulse kan ik in een handomdraai al deze afzonderlijke toepassingen snel en eenvoudig op een site bij elkaar krijgen. widgets/gadgets vanaf andere sites, zoals ook Apple haar Widgets introduceerde op de desktop, Microsoft de Vista Gadgets en Adobe het platform-onafhankelijke AIR.

Facebook 2011's Most-Popular Status Trends Facebook status updates played a starring role in the evolution of the world's largest social network in 2011. As several major changes to status updates (increased character limits, for example) rolled out throughout the year, Facebook data scientists kept their eyes focused on tracking the trends among those status updates. Facebook unleashed that research late Tuesday night in their end-of-year Memology list, which each December since 2009 has helped users understand the most-popular topics, cultural trends and acronyms on the site. Similar to what was popular on Twitter in 2011, high-profile deaths triggered (see image above) plenty of discussions among you and your friends.

NYU Students Aim to Invent Facebook (Again). We’ve Got Your Back Remember when Facebook really was a private club? In the days before we called anything a “social network?” When “sharing” and “connecting” wasn’t bait for the switch of “monetizing” the stuff and nonsense of our lives? The New York Times reports Wednesday that Ilya Zhitomirskiy, 20; Dan Grippi, 21; Max Salzberg, 22; and Raphael Sofaer, 19, decided that Facebook had become so … Facebook that the world needed a safe online haven, one that could fulfill what had once been the fact and promise of Facebook. Even though there is some evidence that only old fogeys are annoyed by Facebook‘s latest change in the definition of “private” and “friend,” the NYU Four (as they shall henceforth be known on Epicenter) were surprised to discover that their sense of being fed up was shared by so many others. “We were shocked,” Grippi told the Times. The Times story is well worth reading, so here are only a few details: The NYU Four used Kickstarter to raise $10,000 in 39 days. See Also:
Court Indicates Facebook May Be Violating Your Publicity Rights With Sponsored Stories Because Facebook does so many things that aren't in users' interests, their "Sponsored Stories" program barely registers. Nevertheless, Sponsored Stories demonstrates why many people are burned out on Facebook. Facebook collects user preferences through its semantically ambiguous "like" button and then uses that data to show ads to the users' friends with a seeming endorsement. Using my preferences does little to advance my relationship with my friends, but the implicit endorsement is designed to get my friends to investigate the ads, increasing the advertiser's credibility and Facebook's profits. My response to Facebook's roll out of Sponsored Stories was swift and decisive: I don't "like" any businesses on Facebook or do any other activities on Facebook that I believe can trigger a Sponsored Story. To me, this marketplace response is adequate. This is a rich and interesting opinion by Judge Koh (embedded below) that has something for everyone to "like" (or dislike). She says later:
Bloquer les mouchards de Facebook Avec les Social Plugins introduits il y a quelques jours, Facebook prétend ajouter un bouton “Like” sur toutes les pages du Web. C’est sans doute super pour cette société de savoir qui regarde quelle page de quel site à tout instant, mais, moi, ça ne me plaît pas. Il suffit de quitter Facebook, me direz-vous. En vérité ce n’est pas si simple. Car avec ces plugins, chaque webmestre est encouragé à ajouter sur ses propres pages une petite ligne de code qui moucharde directement à Facebook le fait que vous lisez cette page. Si vous êtes connecté à Facebook à ce moment-là, le message qui s’affiche est personnalisé à votre nom, et en fonction de vos amis. Pour éliminer ça, j’ouvre mon bloqueur de publicités préféré, et j’ajoute une règle personnalisée : ||facebook.com/*$third-party Cette règle indique au bloqueur de publicité d’interdire tout appel à une ressource Facebook (||facebook.com/*) depuis un domaine autre que celui de FB lui-même ($third-party). Sur Firefox, j’emploie Adblock Plus :
Facebook Quietly Updates Platform Policies – Developers, No Linking To Its Competitors! Facebook made some noteworthy changes to its Platform policies on the 27th of July 2011, adding a couple of new terms developers need to take into account when building apps for the Facebook Platform. Facebook appears not to have communicated the revisions on its developer outreach blog or forum as far as I can tell, and astonishingly, nobody seems to have noticed the policy updates whatsoever (save for one eagle-eyed blogger). Here are two items that were added to the Platform Policy: “I.10. This is another step to force Facebook Credits upon application developers, who can now no longer provide users with virtual currency in exchange for playing a game, participating in a poll or watching a video provided by a third party. But more interesting is this one: “I.11. Read that again. For the record, this is in line with Facebook’s advertising guidelines, which state that ads that promote competing products or services will be rejected. A Facebook spokesperson posits:
Uncrunched Google, Facebook Rivalry to Heat up in 2012 | PCWorld Business Center News December 30, 2011 06:41 AM ET Computerworld - As Google works to make its Google+ social network a major competitor to market leader Facebook, the battle between the two could reach a critical point in 2012, analysts say. Facebook, the world's largest social network, and Google, the world's largest Internet company, are increasingly going head-to-head in a battle to be the top social media player and get the big advertising dollars that go with the position. While most analysts think Facebook retained its wide edge this year, most agree that the battle is likely to heat up further in 2012. "This is a fight for survival for Facebook -- and for relevancy for Google," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group. If Facebook files for an Initial Public Offering in the first half of 2012 as many expect, a huge influx of cash would bring it more muscle to take on Google. "The big moment will be Facebook's IPO," said Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy.
