Facebook was started by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, with help from Andrew McCollum and Eduardo Saverin. Though initially "The Facebook" was offered only to Harvard students, it is now available to anyone with an e-mail address. Since its creation, Facebook has become the most visited Web site by college students, and the second most visited Web site in the world, right behind MySpace. Facebook is a great social networking Web site that is almost addictive. Facebook users will often set a time everyday that they must check the site, even if they have been on all day. Though Facebook is extremely popular and fun to use, not everyone is a member yet. If you would like to get started on Facebook and learn how to use all of its features and application.

Do You Have Bad Facebook Manners?

Twitter - the exploding social Web phenomenon that lets users post 140-character updates to the simple question "What are you doing?" and follow the posts of friends - is very addicting. When you first start out, the Twitter Web site alone is enough for simple posts and following a few friends. But once your network of followers and those you're following expands, checking back to the Web site every 10 minutes is tedious. Here are 12 tools to help sate your Twitter hunger without having to constantly refresh your browser.

Learn How to Use Twitter For Business - What is FollowFriday and How Do I Get More Followers?

#FollowFriday is like a great BIG party where you tell other Twitter users who you really like and recommend other people to follow.

There are two benefits: 1. you can recommend people that have helped you in some way 2. you can easily build your list of followers by following those recommended by others.

Using Twitter Hash Tags for Categories and Events

Twitter works with something called a # (hash tag), which is a character that is also referred to as a "number sign" or "pound sign", (unless you're British ;).

This symbol is used in front of one or more characters to represent "something", like a category or an event, like a conference.

One of the extremely popular Twitter hash tags is called "#FollowFriday" (used without the quotes) and it is used (almost always) on any Friday in any month.

Each Friday, tons of tweeps (people using "the system") use this hash tag in their tweets to recommend the names of other people that they really like to follow.

Here are some reasons to recommend someone for #FollowFriday:

• they have unselfishly helped you in some way
• they have provided great information in their tweets
• they have provided useful information by providing you with links to web pages
• they're just a lot of fun to read

Or any other reason you really like someone and want to recommend them!

You can put #FollowFriday anywhere in a tweet and it will be a part of this hash tag (category / event)!

Twitter Training Tips: When you recommend the names of others, be sure to include the @ symbol at the front of the name to make the user name "clickable". This means that when you click on the name, you'll see theProfile page of the person you clicked on. (Don't put a space between the @ sign and the person's name).

So, here are some examples of using this hash tag:

#FollowFriday @joeblow (great tweets) @marismith (excellent Facebook info) @jeffherring (article marketing guy)

In the example above, you can see a reason for the recommendation in the brackets at the right of each name.

This is a really nice way to promote the people you like talking to in Twitter. You can recommend one or more people at a time and you can provide more information (than shown above) on why you recommend someone - or you can just put in the person's name. You can recommend as many people as you want as long as you can fit all of them in the tweet! And you can do as many tweets like this as you want!

However, some people take objection to a long series of tweets with names in them and may unfollow you.

Twitter Training Tips: If you want to make multiple tweet recommendations, provide some other "types" of tweets in between, such as playing a song from blip.fm, putting in a quote of someone you admire, or retweeting a great tweet you've seen!

Did Twitter get Punk'd

Who Is Using Twitter

Reuters reporter Alexei Oreskovic recently authored an interesting blog post about the demographics of Twitter users. What he discovered was that 18-24 year olds, the traditional social media early adopters, are actually 12 percent less likely than average to visit Twitter. It is the 25-54 year old crowd that is actually driving this trend. More specifically, 45-54 year olds are 36 percent more likely than average to visit Twitter, making them the highest indexing age group, followed by 25-34 year olds, who are 30 percent more likely.

The Facebook Era: Tapping Online Social Networks to Build Better Products, Reach New Audiences, and Sell More Stuff

Here is a guest post by entrepreneur and blogger Clara Shih, who is launching her new book today, The Facebook Era: Tapping Online Social Networks to Build Better Products, Reach New Audiences, and Sell More Stuff.

Last decade was about the World Wide Web of information and the power of linking web pages. Today, it's about the World Wide Web of people, and the power of trusted online identity and a ubiquitous social graph. The transformation currently underway in people's engagement, behavior, and interactions - both with one another and with businesses - is profound, similar to where we were ten years ago with the internet.

Ultimately, businesses need to be where their customers are, and increasingly (3 billion minutes a day, to be exact), this is on Facebook. Here are three tips from my new book The Facebook Era, released today, on how to effectively use Facebook for your business:

1. Reuse, repurpose, and republish. Your Facebook Page is a powerful portal for customers, prospective customers, and their friends to learn about and engage with your brand. Instead of reinventing the wheel, repurpose content such as videos, contests, and blogs from your main website or other channels for your Page. It takes 30 seconds, for example, to link an existing blog to your Page and have new posts automatically appear as notes on your Facebook Page.

2. Test and reach new markets using microtargeting. Many of us have already been using microtargeted ad campaigns on Facebook to hit small audience segments with precise messaging. But microtargeting can also be used to expand your traditional audience base. Before, reaching new markets with advertising was risky and often cost-prohibitive. Now, marketers can cost-effectively reach new audiences by testing different microtargeting criteria. One helpful tip is to start initially with a larger audience (rather than with your hypothesis of your ideal audience) and use Facebook ad analytics to see what kinds of people are actually clicking on your ads - you may be surprised! Once you have this information, you can go after microsegment with custom ad copy.
More details including case studies on these methods and many others are available in my book. I look forward to hearing your thoughts - and invite you to participate via Facebook Connect on the book's website and Facebook Page!

3. Put a face to the name. Did you know you can link Facebook to Salesforce CRM? Check out Faceforce (now called Faceconnector), an app I built which lets you integrate Facebook profile and friend information into Salesforce account, lead, and contact records

"The Twitter Report" - Summary, Review, & How To Get Your Free Copy...

I just finished reading a new report by Walter M. Prorok Jr. and Chris Vendilli. Inside this report Walt & Chris talk about the in's & out's of configuring your Twitter account along with some free third party services to maximize your traffic & exposure.

I was skeptical at first, but after reading through the whole report and watching a couple of the videos available at their website I must say, I'm beyond impressed.

These two guys have been silently attracting visitor after visitor to their sites using Twitter, and they've created a step by step guide so that anyone can replicate their ideas & systems.

Yes, that's right, it's another "system." Most of us, as marketers, have pretty much come to recognize the word "system" as overused and often incorrectly placed. But, with "The Twitter Report" and the videos that follow, this stuff really is formatted into what you could correctly label a "system" at it's finest.

Walt & Chris have uncovered every known tip & trick for setting up your Twitter account to give you maximum return per tweet, while keeping everything on auto-pilot as much as possible. They leave nothing to question and go pretty in depth.

Most of the stuff they cover includes many things you could likely figure out on your own, however, this report can save you the time & aggravation of having to go through trial and error while you make the same mistakes they've already made for you, & neatly documented along the way.

Why waste time, energy, and money trying to figure it all out on your own when you could just see how it all worked out for them and simply follow their suggestions, which are already proven to work successfully?

After reading the report and watching some of the videos I give TwitterHints.com two enthusiastic thumbs up, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to stay on the cutting edge of this new wave of communications & hyper-connectedness.

You'll learn how to configure your settings, which 3rd party sites to join & how to set them up to run campaigns automatically, and much more.

I'm sure you'll enjoy "The Twitter Report" as much as I did and you can go check it out here:
