Everybody is talking about the deadline on March 11 when Facebook will no longer allow users to add new FBML applications to their Facebook page. Besides, if you’re not a coder, or don’t have one working for you, it can be a bit daunting to create a Facebook application and the code for the iframes yourself.

It’s important to remember this is designed as a platform, not an application. Applications are being developed around it and make it richer in many ways. As a result there is a substantial list of 3rd party applications for ADN already. How cool is that?

Simply download the Microsoft tags application for your phone, take a picture of the tags and you’ll be automagically transported to a web page, video or resource for more information. It’s applicable to all levels of business large or small, middle manager, line employee or CXO. Freaking brilliant! All in all?

Well maybe, but from some of the posts I’ve seen recently there’s a lot of people out there who are upset about what they see as an invasion of privacy since you can’t even log in to see it unless you give up access to the application, which then harvests your information to create the display.

The reach chart shows how many people have seen any content about your Page, and where applicable, whether these people were reached through an organic, paid or viral channel. For some reason Facebook chooses Reach to be the metric graphed on the insights page, and it’s little understood, so here’s the long and the short of it.

If you participate in Twitter chats regularly you’re as sad as I am to hear that Twitter’s API changes made it difficult for some applications to work. TweetChat.com and TweetGrid.com were both casualties.

Sometimes hackers use the applications you connected to Twitter in order to hack into your account. HBO was recently hacked, and the hackers threatened to release scripts from popular shows like Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, Vinyl and others. They also posted tweets like “ let’s make #HBOHacked trending!

Facebook shut the application down immediately, and I’m thinking that’s not exactly a bad thing. Basically it allows you to invite your entire Facebook friends list to Google+. Of course you could pick and choose but if you’ve got a lot of friends you could be tempted to just invite them all. ARRGGGHHH!!

If you allow yourself to be distracted by the shiny new applications, the games, the videos and the banter you may very well find it’s a waste of your time. This varies from business to business and depends a lot on whether you are a solo-preneur trying to do it all or you have a team at your disposal. Absolutely.

Part of my job is to try out applications, tools, networks and such so I can tell my clients if they’re worth the learning curve or a waste of their bandwidth. Frankly it’s a lot of fun and I find some really cool stuff. I also find a lot of stuff I wouldn’t suggest you waste your time on.

If you want to hide an application or a type of post (games, quizzes etc.) click the drop down menu in the top right corner and choose “hide all or “unsubscribe” to hide everything from that person, “hide story” to hide just that story and of course you can still “report spam” here too.

Make it applicable to the people you share with. Titles are important and they don’t have to be the title of the a link you are sharing. Darren Rowse has some great tips on writing great titles for log posts and the same carries true here. Use a great title. Popular gets you shared, but is it your message?

If you are in a Twitter application there is likely a RT button. You get to decide. But what’s a retweet you say? A Retweet is when you re-post a tweet from another person that you found interesting or useful. On Twitter if you click the retweet link under the post it will retweet it for you but will not allow you to edit.

I had a very interesting conversation with a Facebook application developer today. He’s a very smart guy and we agreed and disagreed on quite a lot of things. Here’s the crux of the discussion from my point of view. If it’s not yours, or if it is, please– for the love of community –pitch in and SAY something!

If you’re getting an error message on your Twitter desktop or mobile application it’s likely because Twitter recently changed the way authorization works. Open your Twitter application on your phone or desktop and check for updates. It depends on how your Twitter application handles this. This is a two step process.

One of the results of that was the new DevNet program, a collection of sessions and activities designed specifically for developers to hone their skills developing Cisco-enabled applications. How exceptional in a time when conference planners tend to generalize rather than be this specific down to a granular level.
