5 Essential Twitter Writing Tips

Effective writing requires preparation and discipline regardless of the medium. I’m learning that effective Twittering requires even more than the usual amount of skill because of the 140 character limitation.

1. If you seek retweets, keep your Tweet around 100 characters.
2. Write your blog post titles with Twitter in mind. A descriptive, enticing, and short post title helps out folks who want to tweet and retweet it, because now they don’t have to think so much about how to describe it.
3. For search purposes, use keywords(#tags) in your tweets. Lots of people track conversations on Twitter based on keywords.
4. For link tweets, effective summarization on Twitter means giving people a reason to retweet or reply or click through your link. For link tweets, you hope that the blog post title does the summarization work for you. 
5. When replying, make it easy for the receiver to identify the conversation stream.Remember that someone may view your reply immediately or hours or days later. Responses like “No kidding” and “I agree completely” may befuddle the receiver. Send messages like that enough, and followers will start tuning you out.

HOW TO ENABLE FACEBOOK TIMELINE PROFILE

Facebook has announced two major new features for its social network: Timeline and real-time media sharing. These features will allow you to share “everything” including game activity, music, movies, and things you read online.In Facebook’s annual developers conference F8.Mark Zuckerberg announced this  two new features. 

Timeline, which went into beta today, is designed to let people go back in their lives, Zuckerberg said. “It’s how you can tell the whole story of your life on a single page.”

This is a significant change to the way Facebook looks. With Timeline, users will see several new sections, including visual tiles, ways to get all their apps, and a cover photo.

Above is my new profile page.There a large “cover photo” at the top of the page. The idea is that this allows users to jump back to their earliest Facebook posts.You can search your previous posts by year or month.. Click on a year in the timeline, and it scrolls down to that year. Years will also get broken down by month.See the right side of the above picture. In Timeline, users will be able to see everything shared recently. Users can roll their mouse over a point in time, and they instantly get the option to add photos, notes, and other items to that time period..Simply you can arrange your photos and details in the same year that it really happened.You can upload your photos in college days in the same month and year it was taken
If you are impatient and want to experience the new Timeline Facebook announced earlier today, you can turn it through the developer section of Facebook. The process is simple, takes a few minutes, and will require some patience as Facebook tidies up any lingering issues and bugs. Here goes:

1. Log into Facebook

2. Enable developer mode, if you haven’t already. To do this, type “developer” into the Facebook search box, click the first result (it should be an app made by Facebook with a few hundred thousand users), and add the app.

3. Jump into the developer app (if Facebook doesn’t put you there automatically, it should be in your left-hand tool bar)

4. Create a new app and give any display name and namespace . Read through and agree to the Platform Privacy agreement. This is the step you need to be verified for.

5. Ensure you’re in your new app’s main settings screen. You should see your app’s name near the top of the page

6. Look for the “Open Graph” header, and click the “Get Started using open graph” link. Create a test action for your app.

7. This should drop you into an action type configuration page. Change a few of the default settings, and click through all three pages of settings

8. Wait 2-3 minutes

9. Go back to your Facebook homescreen. An invite to try Timeline should be waiting at the top of the page.

That’s it. Once you click on Get It Now, you will then be redirected to your new Timeline. Your Timeline is private, by default, for the time being.

A few things to note:
- Only you will see your timeline at first (unless you decide otherwise), but it will automatically go public after a few days. 
- It seems that if you login into Facebook on another machine, Timeline gets disabled automatically on all of your machines. With that said, it seems you can get back to your timeline (but ONLY after following the steps below) by navigating to http://www.facebook.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE?sk=timeline
- You’ll need to have a “verified” account for one of the steps, which means you need a credit card or phone number attached to the account.

Try it yourself....

Remove Black photo background from FaceBook

Facebook has recently introduced a new photo viewer for Photo albums which allows you to preview the full size version of photos stored in a Facebook album, without leaving the current page.We can see photos in a black background.If you don't like that there are two ways to get rid of that

Trick 1: While you’re browsing through a Facebook photo album and the new photo viewer pops up, simply hit the F5 key OR Press Ctrl + R from your computer’s keyboard. This will refresh the page and bring back the older Facebook photo viewer.

Trick 2: Whenever you see the ugly Facebook photo viewer with a dark background, click the browser address bar and remove “&theater” from the URL and hit Enter. This will switch to the older Facebook photo layout.

For Example : http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=t.512265824#!/photo.php?fbid=10150093470374938&set=t.512265824&theater (Remove "&theater")

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=t.512265824#!/photo.php?fbid=10150093470374938&set=t.512265824

Personally, I would prefer using the F5 key OR Press Ctrl + R because this one saves time from clicking the browser address bar, hitting the backspace key and then reloading the page.

Hope this helps....
