Good stuff, Mike!! :)

@Yura -- bit.ly is the best link shortener, so say the analysts! :) cli.gs does a good job too and there are several others that track stats, but apparently bit.ly has the best open rate. Oh, su.pr (StumbleUpon's link shortener) gets good reviews too. If you're into the data, here's a big analysis: http://searchengineland.com/analysis-which-url-...

Dorcy's site is at http://www.consciouscoparentinginstitute.com/ and she's on Twitter @DorcyRussell.

I do indeed know Vishen!!! He totally rocks and he's actually on the Board of Advisors for my new International Social Media Association. (I also have a pic of him on my Twitter background. hehe!!)

How bizarre re the Events - how about this direct link: http://www.facebook.com/events.php

Hi Mari,
I was just talking about you tonight to my friend Beth Greer -
supernatural mom and singing your praises.

I don't know Dorcy Russell but sounds like I should. What is her
website?

I'm about to launch and I'd love to talk to her. Do you know Vishan
Lakshmi? I'm working with him on it.

Thanks for writing.

Warmly, Shelly

PS I still can't find the f----- link to events :):).

Hi David - yes indeedy, there is a simple solution!! You need to create Friend Lists. There are a couple ways, the easiest is this:

Click on Friends in the top blue navigation bar.
Click on Create New List.
Give the list a name, then select the friends you want to add by first starting to type in their name and they'll pop in - click on the image and it selects.
Then save.

Now, go into your Privacy settings (click Settings in the top blue nav bar, then Privacy).
Adjust which content/features gets published to which list by selecting Custom.

Also, on a different note but related to Friend Lists: on your Home Page -- you can now drag and drop your Friend Lists and the one you place at the very top above the News Feed filter will be your default view!

Hope this helps! I have a few video tutorials on my YouTube channel at youtube.com/facebookmari and my Fan Page facebook.com/marismith. Any questions let me know!

Mari LOL! It was subliminal. They saw your turquoise blouse and via
Freudian slip chose the Twitter colors out of it. That's how much they want
to be like Facebook ;-)

Re: Annoyances: My BlogWorld (Coke) Drinking Game

MariSmith — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:50:25 -0000

Hey thanks for the shoutout in your post here, Jesse!! Much agreed with all the fuss about Twitter - I do love the site but Facebook will *always* be my first love. Lol - I actually just read a post someone put up saying I always wear an article of pale blue clothing because of my loyalty to Twitter. Um, no!! Someone got their facts mixed up there. LOL!! It's my fave color and my brand... just so happens Twitter chose the same color. tehee!!

Thanks Mari! I have a few connections ;-) I decided it was time to start
spending more time on my Facebook Page - Twitter just isn't doing it for me,
and already I'm starting to see results by focusing more on the Page. I
have to admit you inspired me a bit in that. Thanks for all your support
and help!

hey Mari... I think it the sound quality not your accent. I would normally think it my speakers on my work PC but Mike was easy to hear. Any way thanks to both of you, useful content and do hope to see a transcript.

MariSmith — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:10:15 -0000

Excellent post, Jesse!!! You totally have this Facebook thing *down*!!! heheeee. Glad to see you kicking your fan page up a notch - nice job! And way to go securing a 4-letter vanity - sweet!!!!

Re: Top Tips for Using Facebook for Business (Video)

MariSmith — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:43:11 -0000

Aha - a transcript is a super idea!! Lots of good content here. Mike? ;) Hmm, my Scandifornia (Scottish + Canadian + Californian) accent foxed you, eh?! :) lol.
