Facebook Pages Forgotten Feature

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I know I’ve complained about this before, and I’m sure many others who have create Facebook Pages have as well. Thanks to some good pointers on Twitter the other day, I now know that HyperAlerts can do what Facebook cannot, send you notifications when someone posts to the wall, or comments on a story on your page!

As you can imagine, the Facebook page for my child abuse survivor site has long been a place where I’ve felt this pain. I want people to be able to comment and post thoughts on the Facebook page, but I worry that someone is going to post something inappropriate, or be disrespectful toward another “fan” so I keep a really close eye on the page, checking it as often as I can. Now I don’t have to. I’ll be notified by email every time something is posted, and know immediately if it’s something I need to remove. I set it up for that page, and the fan page for this site last night, and got my first notification today. Works like a charm.

And, the service is free, which is even better!

I uploaded all the aspcomments stuff to his site, and emailed him the cut/paste codes that needed to be added to the template. Those of you…

Pownce adds more features, still missing the one that’d get me to use it

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yes, they have added all sorts of new features, even more announced this week. I’m still unimpressed. Until Pownce has a public API, and a way to use it with a mobile device built on that API, I’m simply not interested. All the rest of this stuff is pure fluff until that exists. The service…

Could Tracking and Customized Search Results Influence an Election?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I’m beginning to wonder. First, consider this TED talk bout how customization in search results has led to “filter bubbles” where we are only being directed to information we already tend to agree with. Then consider how much influence Google has over search results, and how often they make algorithm changes that no one really…

If you don’t get networking, you won’t get online networking

Earlier this week I was reading Kevin O’Keefe’s post about what you really learn about blogging from lawyers who give it up, and I was reminded about some conversations I had about this time last year. As I was preparing to talk at the ILTA09 conference about social networking, I had many conversations inside and…

Linked – Huge MIT Study of ‘Fake News’: Falsehoods Win on Twitter

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s true, fake news spreads farther, and faster, than the truth, but it’s not really Twitter’s fault: “And blame for this problem cannot be laid with our robotic brethren. From 2006 to 2016, Twitter bots amplified true stories as much as they amplified false ones, the study found. Fake news prospers, the authors write, “because…
