Facebook increases lobbying budget…hooray?

Tweet As we see more online legislation being presented to Congress such as CISPA, PIPA and PIPA, internet giants are going to want more of a say on these matters. And how do you influence policy? With money of course! And Facebook now clearly wants to be heard in Washington, D.C., as they have increased their lobbying budget some 75% over the fourth quarter of 2012. Based on their lobby disclosure form, Facebook shelled out $2.45 million to lobbying costs in the first quarter of 2013. Yikes. That’s on par with what companies like Microsoft and Google spend. We know ...READ MORE...

How the pink/red equal sign spread on Facebook

Tweet If you’re on Facebook, you surely noticed the pink equal sign on top of a red background that showed up in many posts and profile pages in the few days. It was created by the Human Rights Campaign and it spread like wildfire as people all over the social media network wanted to show their support for gay marriage. I’m trying to remember anything else like it in terms of images on Facebook going viral. Regardless of where you stand on the actual issue, it’s fascinating to look at it from a viral marketing standpoint. “For a long time, ...READ MORE...

Facebook app adds free calling

Tweet Yes, it’s time for new Facebook features. Many of you have probably already heard about their new Graph Search, which is slowly rolling out in beta and probably won’t affect you any time soon anyway. But, the Facebook Messenger app has a new feature that we may have cared about at one time, but probably don’t know. If you have an iPhone and the Facebook Messenger app, and you have a friend who has the same, you can call them for free. Just tap the little “i” button in the upper right-hand corner and you can instantly call this ...READ MORE...

Facebook to unveil a “want” button

Tweet One would have to think that this is Facebook’s answer to Pinterest. Pretty soon, Facebook will be rolling a new feature they call Collections. With this feature comes a “want” button for brands. “People will be able to engage with these collections and share things they are interested in with their friends,” Facebook said in a statement. “People can click through and buy these items off of Facebook.” It seems like it’s rolling out slowly and with little fanfare, so Facebook may be being careful with it. It’s possible, though, that it could change the way we purchase items ...READ MORE...

Private Facebook messages going public?

Tweet There are rumors swirling out there that private messages on Facebook have been popping up on people’s very public timeline. You can see how that could be a slight issue. That’s like posting your emails to Facebook. However, the social media giant is denying that this bug exists and says that these are just old public posts. One would have to think that people would know the difference, right? “A small number of users raised concerns after what they mistakenly believed to be private messages appeared on their Timeline,” Fred Wolens of Facebook Policy Communications said in a statement. ...READ MORE...

Facbook now hurting public pension funds

Tweet There was a lot of skepticism when Facebook hit the public market. It wasn’t just that some were questioning the move to go public, but the IPO price seemed a bit out of whack. $38? Really? It seemed a bit high. And apparently, it was. The stock has hit a record low $18.06 (my e-Trade app says $18.058, but who is counting?) on Friday. And it’s not just individual investors that are feeling the burn. Public pension firms, according to a report, are getting stung by the fall of this stock to less than half of its IPO. Granted, ...READ MORE...

How to prevent your picture being used in third party Facebook ads

Tweet You may or may not know that advertisers on Facebook can and do use your image in their ads to your friends depending on how you’ve interacted with that brand in the past. The “how” or “why” really isn’t important here, but the fact that they do use this practice is indeed important. Chances are, you’d prefer they didn’t do it. So, how can you get them to stop? It’s easy, and we’ll tell you how. First, go to the upper right-hand corner of your Facebook page and click the down arrow next to the “Home” button. You’ll see ...READ MORE...

How to change your LinkedIn password

Tweet You may or may not have heard about the recent hack of some six million LinkedIn passwords. Apparently, some Russian user had uploaded a file to a forum with all of the information, asking for help in hacking the passwords. We aren’t smart enough to know exactly how these major hacks occur, but we know it’s not a good thing. So, just to protect yourself, you should change your LinkedIn password. It would seem that such a change is very easy. Well, it is and it isn’t. If you don’t know where to look, it will take you a ...READ MORE...

Mark Zuckerberg on CNBC back in 2004 (video)

We came across this video of CNBC introducing some Mark Zuckerberg kid who just came up with yet another internet idea. Face…what? What is this? So check out this video of a young (he’s not even old now) Zuckerberg describing his new company called Facebook. It’ll never fly, kid!
