by | 33 Comments

You log into twitter and facebook everyday, and everyday you read tweets, you comment on your friends facebook wall, you retweet blog post, at the end of the day, what are your social media goals? What are you trying to achieve from social media?

A tweet caught my attention recently. It was from Jerimiah Owyang aka @Jowyang, in his tweet, he mentioned that if we post 20 tweets a day we should blog and pay ourselves first. It got me thinking about the amount of time that we spent on social networking daily and whether it is influencing our productivity time.

Research.ly offers a more complete Twitter experience

by | 28 Comments

When you were only following 10 people, Twitter seemed so peaceful. It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a penny when it falls on the ground. Then when you started following back everyone or started to follow more people, it may sound as though you’re in a mall… unless you have a Twitter list. You could only have up to 20 Twitter list and, at 500 people per list, you could only list 10,000 people at most.

Say GOODBYE to Celebrity Marketing and say hello to PEOPLE marketing

The DAWN of the social media marketing

Once upon a time, there was a distant; far away period on Earth where celebrities rule the planet with their faces plastered on posters, billboards, magazines, and last year …TWITTER! These celebrities were paid a huge amount of money in exchange for endorsements, and even to post sponsored tweets on Twitter. (Companies should have paid me… kidding)

How To: Go back to the old method of browsing photos on facebook

by | 24 Comments

Have you noticed your pictures on Facebook now come with a black background and toned-down, faded colors around the screen? Well say hello to the theater mode. One of my pals @alexfei told me that he didn’t like the new methods of browsing Facebook photos, while we were discussing about facebook new theater mode. So I have decided to find ways to return the old way of browsing Facebook photos and avoid the new theater mode which many don’t find useful… sorry MARK!

Method 1: Hit the F5 or refresh button.

When you press the F5 button on your keyboard or click the refresh/reload button on your browser during the theater mode, it will bring you back to the old style of browsing photos.

Method 2: Remove “&theater”

Got this tip from @rocksstar10 who learned from @rm1l. So credits to them

On your URL for the photo, simply remove ‘&theater’ and click enter! You’ll be back to the old way of browsing your photos.

A facebook photo url will give you a URL like such

http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10150415804030304&set=a.10150274409680304.488832.817910303&theater

Here is a screen shot of it.

Simply remove it and you’re back to the old method of browsing photos.

Method 3: Open photos on a new tab.

You could also open photos on a new tab by right click on your mouse and click open in new tab. Gets you away from all the hassle. (tip by @banafsaji)

Method 4: PLUGINS!

A friend who I met on twitter @glitterglitzer, commented on my facebook wall saying

“all this is cool but can I get rid of it permanently?”

My respond: I am pretty sure one company will come up with a firrefox/google plugin to get rid with it. :)

Yeap! I found a plugin that could do that. Its currently for google chrome.

All you need to do is download the revert photo viewer plugin and install it on your google chrome.

Done! Quick and simple wasn’t it?

Is The Now Revolution Book for you? My personal review

by | 24 Comments

Disclosure: I won two copies of the Now Revolution Book which was sent to me. Thanks for picking me as one of the 75 people. One copy will be given away. Continue reading.

I received the book last Friday; I was extremely happy and quickly dove into the book straight away and finished it today.

My  summary?

When I started reading the now revolution starting in Shift 1 (One of the seven shifts), I was actually thinking where the book is going because it’s actually talking about the people in a company and their behaviors. I read it, and I was like… alright… AND?

Personalization is EVERYTHING

*Editor’s warning: Plenty of good Aaron Lee feistiness ahead*

I receive a lot of emails from people to test Twitter apps or services; however, I only reply a handful of them (that reminds me, I need to reply some of them after this). A lot of emails are pretty much standard emails which people usually blast-to-everyone kind of emails. They throw in their fishing rod everywhere hoping for a fish to bite. I do bite. I bite back at them.

Groupon Deals Make Sense for Merchants

by | 25 Comments

Responding to a great article by Heidi Cohen on Groupon, in her article she stated Groupon was unprofitable for 1/3  of the merchants surveyed and that over 40% of them wouldn’t run a repeat offer according to researched done. Which means 2/3 actually made a profit from it and 60% would repeat offer, fair enough!

Heidi also talked about her friends experience with Groupon where they use them to treat themselves to services that they might not do at full price, often a girls’ day out and that it’s not traffic these businesses want.
