For the first time, Facebook page administrators can schedule updates now to be published in the future. A little clock icon appears in the left hand corner of the update window, and when it’s clicked, it opens up a scheduling tool that provides for future updates. In addition, admins can also post things to appear in the past (but not before the page was launched). .

As a professional working in social media , I spend most of my day working on developing strategies to leverage channels like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and blogs to engage with customer communities. Then, when the day is over…I spend more time researching new tools, looking into the rumors of whether company X is buying company Y, reading articles about the latest digital technology and building connections with other bloggers and social media professionals.

Tweet. We don’t have to talk about how big Facebook is anymore. They bought Instagram for $1 billion. 800 million active users are registered. Almost every company has a brand page. What seems to be forgotten time-to-time though is why it has become the platform it is. It is the way in which people act and behave that has formed Facebook; people has a need to connect, to be part of a community and to express their identity.

Over the last few years, marketing publications have reminded us countless times of the dangers of being a CMO, of which the most lamented was the role’s short-tenure. At the bottom of the corporate trough, the figure of 22 months was bandied about regularly. Research indicates that the number of months has risen slightly but by any measure, it’s still a short duration for any C-level role.

Geolocation applications allow you to share your location with other people and associate that location to restaurants, events, and other real-world venues. Using GPS chips embedded in your smartphone and latitude/longitude addresses, it is fairly easy for me to log into an app such as Foursquare , Loopt , or Google Latitude and (if your privacy settings allow me to) see who is proximate to my location.

Google+ Circles allows its users to select which of their friends they want to share certain things (such as a photo or post) with, while not allowing the others to see them. Meanwhile, Facebook does not offer an easy to use option to select specific friends to share each individual item with.

Can you buy your way to the top of the search rankings? In the past you could. You could buy links, pay for directory listings, and even pay to have people promote you through social media. These tactics are frowned upon by search engines and most ethical business owners. That doesn’t mean you can’t ‘buy’ your way to the top, or at least, pay to significantly improve your search rankings.

Let's start with the story from a market of one. I bought the first iPad from Apple and loved it immediately. I wound up lugging it around with me all over the world along with my MacBook Pro. As soon as the latest version of the MacBook Air was released, I got one. It quickly became my most favorite computer of all time. I loved it so much that I didn't understand why I would need to carry around the MacBook Air and the iPad at the same time.

One of the participants in Voxe Media 's Beta Author Boost emailed recently to ask if she was the "only one who had failed.". Eegads. No - ! No one failed. I won’t let them. What she meant is that she got stalled or stuck writing the manuscript of her short book and hasn’t finished yet. But it’s perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed or to procrastinate or to get sidetracked.

In preparing for last month's Social Media Analytics Summit, I needed a talk on the emergence of the social media analytics industry—which was tricky, since I don't usually talk about social media analytics. I didn't want to set up an elimination round of buzzword sweepstakes , arguing for this usage or that. Instead, I looked for a unifying theme, which led to a new question and three categories of social media data.

There has been a lot of debate lately related to the Penguin and Panda updates from Google. Some of this debate has focused on link strategies, the quality of sites that you gain links from, and the anchor text used. There are other factors such as the age of a link, however, this is becoming less of an issue with Google showing a distinct preference for fresh content – you can’t have both, fresh content with old links.

If you ask the average person on the street, they'll probably tell you that it's an online place to connect with friends.

Bricks and mortar business owners will be well familiar with the peaks and troughs of customer traffic. Some days are busier than others; particular times are busier then others; and there are even different times of the year that are busier than others. Small business owners cope by either working harder during busy times, or hiring casual staff. Those quiet times are often a relief, time to restock shelves, handle the administrative side of business, and work on different marketing strategies.
