If you follow my social media activities you might have already heard about the German eBook about facebook basics I have published earlier this week. Even before the blogpost series on my German agency blog that this eBook is based on was finished I was asked if I was going to publish the same thing [...]

Okay, this is a good start but still not what we were looking for… Twitter might have given the follow lists a more stylish design but still you are not able to sort your lists differently than getting them displayed in revert chronological order.
You can now chose between pure list view…
… or the enlarged version…

For all those who haven’t heard it yet: since this (early!) morning 6.01 a.m. you can set up your own custom url for your facebook profile. No complicated urls with lots of numbers in anymore.
All you need to do is got to http://www.facebook.com/username and chose a username (wich is usually firstname.lastname) for your profile.
So mine [...]

Not long ago I had reported about the way I had created the sidebar widgets on my website with friendfeed and what I like about the new friendfeed. What I had not realised yet is the fact that friendfeed has taken away the feature of creating embeddable widgets by service!

When I had opened a German blog for my agency yesterday I also connected it with my facebook profile via NetworkedBlogs (formerly: Blognetworks).
I’ve described how to do this in a previous post on this blog. But by then the widget had been very text-based and undesigned. You also had to tamper a lot with the [...]

Thinking about social media measures for a client I had planned to open a FlickR account for him too. The account was intended to be used because of the RSS it produces, for online reputation management and for sharing the photos on the company blog.
But then I re-read the FlickR community guidelines and found this:
Don’t [...]

I got several questions about some twitter features these days. That’s why I thought I’d reply to them here too. Question no.1 (more coming soon) was:
What do the letters “RT” at the beginning of a twitter posting mean?
“RT” is the abbreviation for “ReTweeting”. This means to repeat a twitter posting (= tweet) of someone else [...]

A while ago I had written a blogpost about “why I’m more active on facebook than on friendfeed”. With the new friendfeed that is up and running for some days now, my previous headline might get turned around now.
Those of you who are used to facebook and twitter will immediately see a lot of similarities [...]
