Activating the NEW Facebook TIMELINE

I'm no developer and I've managed to do it!

I've finagled my way to the new developer only access to the Facebook Timeline. You can't see it yet. But I took some shots of it, to show you what it looks like.



It's a HUGE change. And if people were upset by the changes all ready, this may throw you over the edge. It will take time to get the swing of it.

Fine tuning your Linkedin page with THE @LinkedinExpert

Who better to help you put the shine on your Linkedin page than THE @LinkedInExpert -Viveka Von Rosen!

She was in South Carolina for the Business in Blue Jeans conference, so I grabbed her for some expert advice.

Thanks Viveka, for auditing my page! I know it will help YOU fine tune your page.

How do I follow so many people?

How do I follow so many people on Twitter? I get the question from time to time. It's not as overwhelming with Twitter Lists.

Another Handy Dandy Google+ trick - Manycam

The power of Google+ to solve your technical problems as you experiment and innovate is pretty impressive.

During a Hangout Sunday night, I learned a trick that will be helpful to small business people wanting to do some small scale webinar work with G+ Hangouts, and broadcasters trying to share two screens.

There are also a wide array of completely silly and fun applications. The alien, the frog. LOTS of special effects options that will crack you up in Hangouts.

Download ManyCam!

From the "Be right back" signs you can hang up on your screen, to the screen sharing and ability to put up TWO cams/sources - it solves many problems you can encounter trying to use Hangouts.

From technically gifted Carson Coots who helped demo Manycam for Craig Kanalley and the rest us us, to Jason Salas who first pasted the Manycam link into our chat window - big thanks.

Let me know what you think about it!
