Tips to be popular on Facebook

Following in the tone of this monster called Internet Facebook I came across an interesting study that identifies some factors that positively influence each user, can help increasing popularity among friends and contacts. These tips, get rid of an interesting study using information from some users in the United States.

For example, it was determined that to be more popular You only have to write messages bigger status update, talk about music and / or sports besides you should not be very emotional. Nor should we talk about family, not to mention a time frame (eg I will do this morning, yesterday it was the other, etc..) And above, use the word "you" in large quantities. That is what makes a user more popular, according to the study.

This analysis was done with an application called Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) Who took a sample of 1,000,000 profile updates made by English-speaking users who reside in the United States. All data were rendered anonymous and have been classified into 68 categories for its study.

In addition to these tips to be popular, relevant information was obtained, for example, the number of positive messages / optimists have a peak in the morning (Between 6:00 and 8:00 am) and the negative messages or represent frustration, increase in hours of the night, peaking between 12:00 and 02:00 am.

World map of social networks: Facebook is the undisputed leader

Vincenzo Cosenza maps are a good way to learn the expansion of the different social networks in the world. A few months ago and used one at Engadget to represent Facebook domain But yesterday released an update of it and the picture is even more evident.

Why? For if in June this year we could say Facebook was a leader in what social networking is concerned, today it is even more: through analysis of data from Alexa and Google Trends has come to the conclusion that Facebook is the main network 115, from 135 countries.

WMSN1210-Poster-570

As you can see in the picture are three main countries that still endure the pressure of the social network created by Mark Zuckerberg (China, Russia and Brazil), but who knows whether the respective indigenous initiatives will be able to survive in office much time.

As for the other networks are concerned, Vincenzo highlights an aspect I guess many of you'll be experiencing: the rapid rise of Twitter and LinkedIn. To the extent that lie like Facebook's nearest rival in a number of countries around the world.

There is a PlayBoy game on Facebook

Yes, when you think nothing can reach the limit, is Facebook.

It turns out that the popular social network is circulating (and becoming very popular) a Playboy game in which the mission is quite obvious, and the graphic say ... well ... striking.

The game is called PlayBoy Party, and the player's mission will be to hold a party in which guests receive certain and may well raise money to decorate the stage and expand facilities.

playboyparty

Besides that, the game features a system awards for players, Which consisted in showing the different covers and posters that characterized the magazine over the years, something like a small marketing campaign within Facebook.

Personally, I must say that I do not think bad or misplaced this kind of games that appear on the network, and while they may be linked to somewhat controversial topics are developed safely, and carefully. Yes, I do not like the network is filled with games of this kind since, surely, have a very important success And we all know it should be.

Now we can use Facebook profile on MySpace and share everything

The two big social networking the internet age (MySpace and Facebook) Joined by a partnership that benefits more than anything MySpace. When the Network began to flip between the company, MySpace became the most visited social platform.

Over time and under poor management, the platform was falling to the point of generating only loss, which has led its directors to opt for an alliance with Facebook, having to surrender to his solitary career and depend on network Zuckerberg .

Now, we enter MySpace with a profile or Facebook account. Facebook This initiative will provide even more services to its users, not to mention the push they mean for MySpace, now we can share with a simple Like me'''', Artists or friends of the network. No doubt Facebook Today is the goose that lays golden eggs.

Facebook and MySpace prepare an event for today

Facebook not to launch new products and give press conferences the past few months. A few days ago it announced its service email. Shortly before officers launched Facebook applications for mobile and iPhone, Facebook Places ... We could be up to the beginning.

myspace-facebook

However, this time we could see something new. And is that today will be an event which will be announced partnership between Facebook and MySpace, The leading music platform dying for some time and that could be saved thanks to this relationship with the network''gold.''

At the invitation launched by Facebook says nothing specific about the event. Only you can see that this announcement will be presented by CEO MySpace and Vice President of Facebook, today at 12:00 am.

Speculation leads us to many things, but I think it makes sense to think about integration of Facebook Connect on MySpace An option that would help a lot to the distribution and impact of MySpace worldwide.

How to prevent other people label you in their Facebook photos

One of the things that annoy me Facebook is that someone labeled me in photos where they appear and do so only in order to advertise something or send me messages, images, and worst of all is that labeling the pictures where salts appear on your profile and often are treated photo embarrassing or irrelevant. If it bothers you too, here I'll show how to prevent Facebook users to see those pictures on your profile or video where you've been tagged The truth is that it is something very simple that I had not thought of doing until I saw LifeRocks how.

In fact Facebook not have an option to prevent others will tag their photos and videos but the best way to prevent others from seeing in which you have tagged photos is to make these photos visible to other users, here are the steps:

You go to security settings Account -> Privacy Settings
Once you enter the privacy settings on the left side choose Custom, and then click below to customize settings.
Now under "Things that others share"There is an option that says"Photos and videos I'm tagging", Then choose the option to customize.
You'll leave a picture with the customization option, then on the "The following people"Choose: Only me.

To end you save the settings and from now on labeling the pictures where sales do not appear in your profile.

To date, there has been no easier way to integrate objects from Facebook in your blog, for example, albums, events, groups, notes, photos or videos, this in a blog that uses WordPress, and is that being a social network as popular, it is surprising to see the lack of a plugin that does this easily, but afurtunadamente already exists and is called Facebook Embed.

What makes this impressive is the fact plugin that allows you to embed objects from Facebook, but the way it works. After installing the plugin, there is no additional configuration you must do. Just paste the link to any article of Facebook in the content of a post (album, event, group, notes, photo or video) and all the plugin takes care of properly embedded object from Facebook

The only requirement to be able to share things about Facebook is that the object must be public on Facebook.

To use Facebook Embed need to have a blog hosted WordPress.org created with your own hosting and install the extension from the administration area.
