Facebook Users' Verdict On Redesign: Hate! – CBS News

I wonder how many people have the guts to leave facebook now though. It’s woven itself so deeply into the communications landscape of most people’s lives that extricating yourself from it after investing all that time and effort into uploading photos and adding “friends” is like committing social suicide. and I should know because I got so fed up of facebook I closed my account last month.

Since then I have told my friends if they want to contact me they should email or phone or actually meet me and REAL life has been so much more rewarding.

In addition to this I have set up <a href=”http://myrealwall.blogspot.com”>www.myrealwall.com</a> where people can still post on my wall, but with a twist.

Instead of posting on my facebook wall, if people want to post on my wall now, they actually have to write me a REAL post i.e. a letter and put a stamp on it and send it to my house. I then take their post, read it and stick it on my REAL wall, which then gets photographed every day and posted on the net.

This little social experiment has proved to be quite a neat little filter and I’ve noticed that the spam I receive from friends has effectively been cut to zero and I have not been bitten by a zombie since I started, although I’ve had a couple of pokes from friends, who have actually made the effort to come to my house and poke me in REAL life.

It’s a strange old place facebook. People will whinge about how much they hate it, the new design etc. But when it comes down to let’s see how many facebookers do more than complain and put their money where their mouth is and actually LEAVE facebook as a result.

Not many I suspect.

Scores

• Conference USA Championship (Final rd.)

Tulane won its second straight Conference USA title Tuesday.

The Green Wave, no. 27 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, finished at 6-over 858 at Canebrake Country Club in Hattiesburg, miss., smashing the conference title scoring mark by 28 shots.

TCU won the 2002 C-USA crown with a score of 886.

Green Wave sophomore Ashley McKenney went wire-to-wire in winning the individual medal. she posted rounds of 70-68-72 to finish at 3-under 210.

Junior Janine Fellows birdied five of her last eight holes in a closing 67 and tied for second with East Carolina’s Abby Bools.

Fellows’ 67 broke the C-USA 18-hole scoring record posted by McKenney a day earlier.

“Our girls were awesome this week,” Tulane coach John Thomas said. “They have put in a lot of time and hard work this season and they deserve every minute of this championship.”

No. 69 East Carolina (288) finished runner-up at 20-over 872 and no. 46 Tulsa (292) was third at 889.

Tulane is the first school to repeat at the C-USA Championships since the 2004 and ’05 Green Wave teams captured back-to-back titles. McKenney joined former Wave Daniela Holmqvist as the last two conference medalists.

It was the fourth C-USA title in program history and the Wave’s third victory of the season.

Since the women’s golf program was reinstated two years ago, Tulane has won five tournaments.

Tulane receives the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA regionals, which take place May 6-8 at a site to be determined.

How do you post directly to the news feed from a Facebook group?

I mean, how do you send updates on a news feed as a group admin? Every time I try to, I just write on the wall.

How do I create a news feed list on Facebook for a particular application?

I currently play Farmville and I like being able to only show the news feed from that application. I would like to do the same for Island Paradise instead of scanning through all the hundreds of unrelated posts. Creating a new list only allows you to select friends, is there a way to create a new list for an application?

How To Leverage The Facebook News Feed

Facebook has become the heart beat of almost every people who uses World Wide Web very often. Not only the individuals, but also the big names in business are accustomed to the use of Facebook now a day. Presence of Big Names with their fan pages is the evidence that Facebook has touched the level of a superior social connectivity.

So, in the current scenario the extended knowledge of Facebook helps at a great helm.  And the knowledge of putting your say in Facebook is of the greatest advantage. One can put his feelings, emotions, news etc. via two important home feeds in Facebook. These are Live Feed and News Feed

Though both are equally important and capable of expressing the way one feels, yet News Feed is considered to be the greatest and lethal most weapon. The main difference between a Live Feed and a News Feed is that the News Feed is an aggregate expression of the most interesting contents of your friends whereas Live Feeds reflect all the actions of your friends.

Why leverage the Facebook News Feed: Before discussing how to leverage the News Feed, I would like to tell you that why you should leverage them. The first point of consideration for News Feed against Live Feed is the fact that whenever someone opens/logs into his Facebook account the first page shows News Feeds only. So, a catchy description for a News Feed attracts the people and promotes your products as well. The second point of consideration is the merge of Highlights and News Feed into one stream. And the third point of consideration for News Feed is that it contains the most interesting topics and events. So, if you have a good post and your friends either like it or comment on it then it will appear as the most interesting post of that moment.

How to leverage News Feed: Now let’s come to our main point of discussion, the ‘HOW’ factors. I would love to share 4 factors as below:

1.    The first thing to leverage your News Feed is to deliver some value to the readers or say to your friends. By sharing something which delivers some value you can really boost up the presence of that post in Facebook.

2.    Make it interesting. Plunge into the humor side on vacation, weekend and holiday seasons. It works great because people on weekends and on holidays want some relaxation and so putting some humor gives you back a well commented post. Avoiding Business Links on such hours is really essential to minimize the risk where people hide your feeds forever.

3.    Keep it in mind that all the five fingers are not equal. So, try different things on different times. There are some applications in Facebook like Zoo, Mafia, and Quiz etc. You can use them wisely. Though Mafia application says “Kill Some Time”, actually you can use it as a good option to leverage your News feeds. But please avoid sending too much of requests.

4.    The current trends and topics on and around the globe is another good thing to use to leverage the feeds. For example the current topic of highest discussion is Haiti Disaster. So, a News Feed on Haiti is sure to attract many people to your profile and products as well.

With these four classic ways of leveraging your News Feed you can reinvent the power of networking every time you log into Facebook. Whether you are following a personal branding strategy or doing a product promotion, these tips can help you reach a much wider targeted audience. Have a great experience ahead.
