Unfriend Finder Lets You Know When Someone Unfriends You on Facebook

| Posted in Facebook, Social Networking |

Facebook UnfriendHave you ever wondered if people find out when you “unfriend someone” in Facebook?

Personally, I haven’t been too concerned about this, because I rarely use the Facebook unfriend option. But it seems to be a very popular question because it often shows up as a search query on my blog. Just today I had several people ask,

“Will friend know if I unsubscribe them — unsubscribe facebook find out – does facebook tell friend if you unsubscribe – does someone know if I unsubscribe them”

And I get those queries on a regular basis.

Before You Ask For a Recommendation On LinkedIn Consider This

LinkedIn: Ask for RecommendationEvery once in a while I get that Request for Recommendation from LinkedIn. I’m sure you get them too.

While I am genuinely flattered that somebody values my opinion about them enough to ask me for a recommendation and I love giving them, sometimes that request leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Such was the case just this past week and this particular one was a double no-no.

Busted For Breaking the Twitter Rules!

Busted for violating Twitter RulesThat was absolutely NOT funny! I tried to update my Twitter stream last week and found out that my account was suspended for violating the Twitter Rules.

What? Me? Busted for breaking (any kind of) rules? No way!

Okay, so maybe my halo got a bit tarnished over the years. But most of the time, whenever I did something wrong it was totally unintentional.

All my life I’ve been trying to live by the rules, not break them. Gosh, my kids even tease me because I don’t even cut the tags off of pillows. (You know the ones that say …”Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law!” …or something like that.)

But it was true. I indeed, although unknowingly, had done something I shouldn’t have.

Bummer! Seems like…

Social Media: Why You Need to Include it in Your Business Strategies

Social Media as part of your Business Strategy With all the buzz about Google joining the social media scene lately, the subject has been on my mind quite a bit. And then the other day a headline on my friend Elmar Sandyck’s blog caught my eye. It read…“Can You Recall When Social Media Started?”

I couldn’t really recall when it started, but I was amazed to find out that the first email was sent 40 years ago. Can you imagine it’s been FORTY years?

Wow, that totally blew my mind.

Linked Influence – How to Effectively Grow Your LinkedIn Network

Linked Influence LinkedIn Training I have been a member of LinkedIn for years, but I really didn’t know how to use it effectively to build my business. It wasn’t until a couple of months ago when my husband came across Linked Influence that everything changed.

Up to that point I had been totally overwhelmed by LinkedIn and kind of had discarded it as a tool to build my business.

BIG mistake!

LinkedIn quietly grew to 100 million strong in the shadow of Twitter and Facebook and is now the 3rd largest social network. If you take into consideration that it is also a network of professional business people with an average household income of around $110,000 then it’s a no brainer that if you want to connect with professionals you really should be on LinkedIn.

Facebook News Feed - EdgeRank Good question indeed. In a nutshell, I guess you could say EdgeRank is Facebook’s News Feed Optimization. Its own algorithm of sorts.

Typically the first page you see after you log in to your Facebook account is your “News Feed” displaying the content that people you are following have shared. You can find all kinds of content there. For example, photos, videos, links to articles or blog posts, notes, status updates and more.

How to Tag People on Facebook

I always appreciate it when my readers use the Facebook Share Button on my blog to share my content with their friends on Facebook. It’s the greatest compliment I could get.

So for all the times I missed to say “thank you” to YOU. Here it is … “Thank you so very much for sharing my content with your friends on Facebook! I truly appreciate you!”
