Or more likely, I will chose PUBLIC or FRIENDS as I post on Facebook in a POST-BY-POST decision process. Consciously deciding is this a PUBLIC idea or a PRIVATE one. And if it's PRIVATE, I think I will redirect it to a different forum. Better yet, a non-Facebook forum.

False Security on Facebook: Privacy & Security Problems Continue on FB
If you get it straight, about Facebook's motivation, you'll probably alter your behavior on Facebook. And maybe you'll call me up for a cup of coffee rather than giving me a LIKE on Facebook and assuming we're "in-touch."

Keep Your Filter Off My Frickin Friends! Facebook Fails #28: ZUCK Sucks.
Have you heard of the Filter Bubble? It's when Google (yes they do it) or Facebook (they filter about 80% of what you see) and even Twitter (started "filtering by interest") recently started giving you the OPTION. The problem is, most of them are NOT giving you the option to turn "their" filtering OFF. In [...]

Facebook's "Mostly Just Friends" Filtering Is Selling You Not Helping You, Facebook Fail #30
Facebook's casual and "friendly" filtering is NOT designed to improve your experience, it is designed to sell your experience. And that sucks.

Only Friend People Who Know You Personally On Facebook. WHAT?! #Facebook #Fail #31
Sure, Facebook would like you to friend more people. In fact they show the "People You May Know" on the right side of the page. BUT, if you friend too many people and they click NO on that little message "Do You Know this Person Outside of Facebook?" you will hit the unofficial speed limit. You will be blocked from adding any new people for 7 days. Um, why is that?

A Friend Request Works Just Like Friending, Unless You Say No #Facebook #Fail 32
You don't want to friend everyone who contacts you on Facebook. That's common sense. BUT, did you know, if you keep that request in limbo, if you don't say NO, your activity will show up in the requestor's updates as if you had said YES?

Twitter Is Not Just for Kids Anymore: Twitter for Business is Baaack! w/ Advertising Promos
Case studies don't really do much for us these days in promoting and trying to execute social media business strategies. Sure, a lot of companies have DONE IT and ARE DOING IT. And a lot of companies have established bonafied success stories on the use of social media. BUT, very little of that information, very very little of it, will help you, plan a new or unique way to use Twitter to grow your business.

Death of the Social Media Strategist: Overselling & Underperforming from the Start
But the bottom line is this, social media is PART of the MIX but it is not the solution. AS A SINGLE CHANNEL, social will deliver very little in terms of ROI. Here's the good news, as part of a coordinated program (where social feeds email, and seo, and online ads) social media can be the "accelerant" that takes your ho hum program into something worth cheering for.

Please Be Careful, Facebook Wants Your Information to Remain Safe
Yes, so the largest social network is concerned about our safety outside of Facebook. Ha! Our "safety" within Facebook is even more concerning, don't you think? For a company that resets their privacy policies daily, to rejigger their opportunities to make money of the content you post, content they now OWN.

"Hi Facebook, I'm HOME." Why HOME from Zuckerberg & Co. is Scary
In this digital world, I am a broadcaster. I am asking you to listen to my stories. I am publishing them in as many digital forms as I can. But when ZUCK and CO. begin to sell me without compensating me, well, then I get a bit more defensive. It's going to happen. We don't know exactly how, or what, or why, because we/they haven't invented it yet. But HOME is the first step along the slippery slope of asking Facebook to become your Wingman for Life.

Keep Your Network Warm By Giving Value to Your Connections
How you use and support your network is directly proportional to how much you get out of it. Do you often retweet, and repost colleagues work online? Do you give them a "Well done!" shout out when they announce a new milestone on their LinkedIn profile?

I Am a Filter: Learning to Manage the Information Overload of Social Media
Our problem is not information overload, it is filter failure. // Every morning when I wake up the media and inputs are screaming for my attention. It is up to me what I want to spend time contemplating, writing about, working on. Every single day we have to filter out thousands of messages, grabbing for our mental bandwidth. How do you FILTER? How do you determine what to pay attention to, what to mute (unsubscribe from) and what to simply ignore?

Facebook's Open Graph Social Search, UX-UI Fail
Everybody knows people look at pages from TOP LEFT to right and down. Why bury the MOST IMPORTANT NAV Structure in the right hand mess. Now we've got the HOME link again as well. Please, FB, give me social search, but put the main nav elements back to the TOP LEFT corner of the page, where they belong. UX, UI 101.

The Social Sharing Golden Rule: "And What Excites You About That?"

HOW TO FIX TWITTER: What Killed the Conversation on Twitter?
It's NOT ALL GOOD in the world of social media, Facebook and Twitter. And while Twitter has come a long way, they continue to stumble forward like a giant in-search-of it's next meal. We could hope that next acquisition and destruction would be beneficial to us or to the Twitter functionality. For the most part, it's merely a financial play: either Twitter is trying to KILL something from becoming a threat, or MERGE something into Twitter in attempts to find the PROFIT CENTER.
