A facebook question: does anyone know if I can create a username for an event or a fanpage so that non-facebook people can see it? By the way, I noticed that the link on your tweet looks different than mine (it’s shorter and begins with bly or something like that.) How did you do that? Thanks in advance.

Facebook can be delightful until someone tells you they’re brushing their teeth, or having blueberries for breakfast, or write something completely offensive (so much for free speech—by the way, I do believe in it). Facebook helped me reconnect with some old high school friends and I liked that. It’s also a good way to share links [...]

Thanks, Whitni. I did get it to work–it had something to do with the privacy settings. I guess I need to relax a little bit about those privacy settings.

Hi Chien-ei-
When you were trying to update your username, did you add your mobile number? I went to settings, then the “mobile” tab and requested that a confirmation code be sent to me. It did take about 3 days but once I added the code to the site, I now have the ability [...]

I had a similar experience setting up my username. It’s still not working. I thought it was just my inexperience with social media. Guess not. I do love meeting friends face to face or communicating one on one. It’s amazing how our lifestyle just does not allow that as much. I belong to two women’s [...]

I got your point. Group projects can be extremely frustrating especially when some are aiming for a “c” and you’re aiming for an “a.” I was in quite a few of those groups where I took over (leadership) and ended up doing a lot more work than most. You see, if they’re aiming for [...]
Chien-ei Yu commented on the blog post Seclusion or Connectedness? 2 days, 2 hours ago
It’s true we’re empowered with more information and up-to-date news (especially news that are neglected by the mainstream media) at our fingertips. It does set us free. We can fix simple technical problems instead of sitting for hours holding on a tech support line. It brings us closer as a society in that people are [...]

The use of Facebook is the latest way of getting out there. And it’s strength is that it puts us out there to the world. I “is” just like the movies. A virtual image. And like a movie it can be accurate or dressed up or even totally made up. But that’s a old story. [...]

Face book represent a potential shift Internet organization. From the user’s side it creates a person based “network.” That is something new. However it’s not the Facebook software that’s the key it’s the trusting user base. When I read about the bidding war for Facebook, I felt that user base wasn’t their’s to sell. I [...]

One of the pros of facebook is that it has allowed me to be part of network for nearly two years. I have reconnected with old friends and stayed current with local ones. Additionally, facebook has kept me abreast of interesting events while allowing me [...]

I’ve had a Facebook account since the days it was a college-only hangout. At the time though, I was still infatuated with Myspace and didn’t spend much time with it. Then Myspace took a turn for the worst and it seemed there was a mass move and I eventually [...]

Unfortunately I have been unable to start Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It came in the mail last Friday, but I have been unable to find the time to get started – poor excuse I know, but so be it.
Anyway, perhaps you remember me gloating about the psychological maneuvering I performed on [...]

Hey Professor Neufeld,
How do you update the subtitle? I have been looking around the dashboard and can’t find anything.

Matthew Felicelli wrote a new blog post: My Facebookings 2 days, 16 hours ago
I have been a part of Facebook for four years now, but have never been overly thrilled about it. I mainly use it to keep up with groups I am a part of and stay in touch with friends at other schools. All of the applications are a complete mystery to me.
The pros to Facebook [...]

As usual, I have no idea what to write here. But I can tell you that I feel much better now compared to last week, and it such a relief that I don’t have to cough ALL the time. I stopped taking cough medicine after three days I think. I imagined that my stomach was [...]

I think Facebook is a great opportunity to raise awareness of yourself or anything that you would like to be known. With millions of users, you are almost guaranteed that someone will see what you want them to.
I actually did not have a Facebook until recently (last week) because I find social networking sites extremely addicting and [...]

Whitni,
I completely understand your sentiment about not using your Facebook or Twitter accounts after this class. I feel the same way about Twitter. I understand that Twitter can be super useful, but I’m not sure I’m in a place where I want to utilize it. I could see perhaps using it later in life [...]
Shala Kiewert wrote a new blog post: The Elephant in the Room 2 days, 19 hours ago
There are many pros to using Facebook. One of them is the sheer amount of people who check their Facebook regularly. According to Kenley Neufeld, Facebook has “over 400 million members and 50% of those log into the site everyday.” This vast number of log-ins provides ample opportunities for businesses, pages, and causes to [...]

I’ve had my Facebook for almost a year. It was actually my friend who persuaded me to get Facebook since I was the only in our circle of friends who didn’t have it. Today I log in to Facebook several times a day. The good thing with Facebook is that you can find friends all [...]

I signed up for Facebook a few months ago in order to get extra credit in another class. I did not add any profile information or make it public until now. I updated my profile with limited information. I decided that after this class is over, I will not be using my Facebook or Twitter [...]

My twitter account is CleanBeachSB. I have been able to add you but not the class (mat/149). For some reason, mat/149 does not work.

I was pleasantly surprised by Twitter. I actually liked it once I tried it out, especially when Lonely Planet became a follower (wow, me!) I wonder how they keep track of 61,338 followings… (I sure hope they take my recommendation for SBCC bacon cheeseburger seriously.)
I’m following 51 twitter lists. I found AplusK (Ashton Kutcher’s Tweets) [...]
