Facebook Used To Make Change

After posting the last video I ended up browsing around Current.com for a while and found a number of other interesting videos. I found another one which tells the story of Oscar, a Colombian who created a group on Facebook that turned into a massive protest against the Farc. It’s happening worldwide but […]

Facebook Carpooler Video

SEO your Facebook applications with Sitemaps

While most developers think about optimizing their Facebook viral channels, most don’t think about SEO as an important user acquisition strategy in the same way that most webmasters traditionally do.
To help app developers increase their prominence in search engine results pages (SERPs), Facebook recently enabled developers to serve XML sitemaps off the apps.facebook.com. Sitemaps are […]

Facebook updates email rules for application developers

This afternoon, Facebook turned on new application email allocation limits as part of the Platform team’s continuing efforts to build a comprehensive Application Reputation System that controls access to Facebook’s viral marketing channels according to user feedback.

Facebook starts suggesting “People You May Know”

More and more Facebook users are seeing a new feature in recent days called “People You May Know.”
People You May Know is based on social proximity - Facebook looks at your friends-of-friends and suggests people that you have the most mutual friends with. So far, I’ve found several friends through the feature - it’s nice […]

Facebook Privacy changes reflect increasing role of Friend Lists

Before last week, almost no one on Facebook created Friend Lists. Why? Because there was no point. Besides being able to send bulk messages (as long as your Friend List was under 20 people in size), all you could do after creating your Friend Lists was, well, look at them.
Starting last week, however, Facebook elevated […]

Facebook On A Banning Frenzy?

Over the last three days I have received an influx of emails from people who have been banned from Facebook. In addition to these emails, there seems to be an influx of people hitting a post I wrote about being banned from Facebook a few months ago.
Is this increase in activity indicative of Facebook “clamping […]
