Facebook Pages vs Facebook Groups: What's the Difference?

Facebook Pages vs Facebook Groups: What's the Difference?
Howard Greenstein is a Social Media Strategy and Marketing consultant, and President of the Harbrooke Group. He's also a national board member of Social Media Club. “Should I create a group or launch a Page?” It's the eternal question that gets asked as often as, “What is Twitter?” at introductory social media training classes. Ever since Facebook launched their Pages product as part of their larger advertising strategy (along with the ill-fated Beacon) in November 2007, there has been confusion over which to use. What is a Page on Facebook? In their own words, “Facebook created Pages when we noticed that people were trying to connect with brands and famous artists in ways that didn't quite work on Facebook…Not only can you connect with your favorite artists and businesses, but now you also can show your friends what you care about and recommend by adding Pages to your personal profile.” To create a fan page, one simply has to go to facebook.com/pages/create.php and create a new page.

Google Launches Long-Awaited E-Bookstore Google has launched its long-awaited e-bookstore, Google E-books, bringing more than 3 million books — many of them free — to any device with a web browser in the U.S. The initiative, previously known as Google Editions, offers an alternative sales model from the dominant players in the space, such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple. Instead of purchasing e-books through a single online store to read only on compatible software (i.e. books bought from the Kindle Store can only be read on Kindle apps), Google lets consumers buy books either from its store or any other online vendor that sells books in EPUB and PDF formats, and read them on any device with a web browser. This allows independent booksellers with loyal customer bases to advertise and sell Google e-books via their own venues and take an (as of yet undisclosed) cut of the revenue, an opportunity previously denied to them. iPhone Gallery Android Gallery iPad Gallery Image courtesy of Flickr, AZ Adam

How to use Facebook Chat from the Desktop without opening Facebo ISBN 101 For Self-Publishers One of the parts of book publishing that seems to confound newcomers to the field is the purpose and use of the International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Usually the ISBN appears to be the same thing as the ubiquitous Bookland EAN scannable barcode that graces the back covers of almost all books printed today. Not only that, but since the rise of companies that perform publishing services for authors, there has been even more confusion about whether you need to own your own ISBN, whether free ISBNs from these companies are “just as good” as getting your own ISBN, and if it’s a good idea to buy ISBNs from re-sellers who offer lower prices for a single number. Let’s review the basics of this unique identifier and explain what is so important about it, how it benefits self-publishers, and when you can safely forget about it. Created to Solve Real-World Problems ISBN was created as a stock-keeping identifier. It was created to solve a real-world problem, and it worked well. Resources

Why is Vin Diesel so popular on Facebook? It's the authenci With all due respect, I wouldn’t put Vin Diesel in the upper echelon of movie actors. But on Facebook, the Fast & Furious star is second to none among the Hollywood elite. He’s currently adding hundreds of thousands of fans daily, and with more than 3.4 million of them at the moment, the only person bigger than Diesel on Facebook is President Obama. Diesel appears to have been doing this too – up until about a month ago when his updates went from standard fare – clips of TV appearances and an event schedule – to authentic updates and interaction from the star. A typical update from Diesel features about a paragraph of text – sometimes on edgy subjects like race – as well as personal photos as opposed to staged photo opps. At this point, Diesel is probably most analogous to Shaq on Twitter. The moral of the story is a simple one: authentic communication usually wins out over boring, boilerplate content.

How to “friend” someone on Facebook & hide it from your stat I’m sure that this has happened to you before. Someone you have ties to, whether it’s a co-worker, your boss, or even worse, a parent, has finally discovered social networking and wants to be your newest Facebook friend. For me personally, that’s no big deal. I’m fairly open about my online activities. Everything I write, Digg, or otherwise share goes through my FriendFeed to my Twitter then ultimately onto my Facebook (my, that sounds naughty). Besides that, just about everyone I’d consider a co-worker is already on Facebook, and would have little issue about my other Internet activities. Putting all that aside however, imagine for a moment that I worked at Domino’s Pizza and that I don’t want my boss to know that I just became a fan of Papa John’s (writing this one’s gonna make me hungry). On your Facebook home page, you should see the ‘Settings’ menu close to the search field on your upper-right.
