SHALLOW HACKER ㋡

Just visit the mobile Facebook site http://m.facebook.com in the Google Chrome desktop browser and you will be prompted to allow notifications. If you accept, Chrome will enable Facebook notifications, which will appear in the bottom right corner of your PC. Sick of seeing them? Just follow these steps to switch notifications in Chrome off:  https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3220216?hl=en .

Are you getting a whole load of notifications from a Facebook page that you have liked? To stop getting notifications do the following: 1) go back to the Facebook page that is sending you all the notifications 2) click the "Liked" button 3) from the drop-down menu simply remove the tick from "Get Notifications" by clicking it (See picture above.) You should now stop getting notifications from the page.

After babbling about smart watches I couldn't hold back on this one either. There are 3 interesting tech stock. Sure, a lot of people are interested in them. These are stock to buy and keep on buying for the next 5 to 10 years. These are fundamental companies of the interwebz today and for the coming decade. Sure there are others, but I like these guys. Facebook isn't going any-bloody-where despite what pundits waffle about te death of social. It's next financial results will show nothing less than a boom that will no doubt eclipse its last astonishing set of stats. Next to Google, it is set to gobble up a whole lot of tasty advertising budget. Google is just doing things right. From the buzz around Google Glass to the plodding ascent of Android. They are by far the smartest company on the planet. LinkedIn is Facebook for serious work peoples. Let's face it. And there the revenue for job ads can only go in one direction. I mean, Monster-who? That was fun.

A freind of mine made a comment (on Facebook) that he thinks social sites are "a fashion" and won't be where we get all out info from. He's right I guess (or is he?) but the point is that this got me thinking about where social media is really headed. We all know things chop and change at an incredible rate here on planet internet(/webz/whateverz) and tomorrow's Facebook and Google+ sure ain't gonna look much like it does today (well litterally it will, but not figuratively.. doh, you know what I mean ;-). What I envisage is the following. Our actual social profile will be a metaphorical cloud that hovers above all the social sites we interact with, e.g. Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ (to take these as examples). What on earth am I talking about? Well let's look at it from my personal perspective as a social media user. Why do I use social media? To interact with others of course. Other people, other brands, other celebrities (maybe). Do I r...

There's nothing ground breaking here. But if you haven't got these Facebook setting switched on you should do so now! In Facebook click Account in the top right corner. Click " Account Settings ". On the My account page click "Account security" Check all the boxes and click the "Save" button. By the way, if you haven't given your mobile number to Facebook yet you'll need to do this before you can get SMS alerts, or you can just leave the "Send me a text message" box unchecked. Also! - once you turn these security settings on your iPhone Facebook app might be messed up. But don't worry! Just follow the 3 steps in my previous post here  to sort that out.

If you are getting an error every time you try to login to the Facebook app on your iPhone, try this solution. Go to http://www.facebook.com/iphone On the left-hand side (you may need to scroll down) click "Remove app" Now try logging in again on your iPhone. Source I found the solution here: http://goo.gl/LPYEu So what caused the problem?.. Not exactly sure, but this started happening right after I update my Facebook security setting. I had turned on HTTPS and had activated alerts for when a new computer or mobile device logged in to my account. One of these settings must have caused it.

What do you think folks, if the main character from your favourite series (think Hawaii Five-O, CSI, Criminal minds) was tweeting like a regular person and maybe had a Facebook page to boot, would this add a new dimension to the show? Just to be clear I'm talking about Twitter and Facebook accounts that are professionally scripted to present the person as they are in the series in a real-life way. They would actually interact with the world around them just like a real-life tweeter would. You'd need to have a clever little team, including the people who write the script of the actual series to create a realistic character, but if done well it could be really fun for people that enjoy the series and could even increase the popularity of the series. Has anyone seen this being done professionally yet? If not I kinda bet that we'll start to see this in the near future. It may not be suitable for every type of series, but it could be really cool for suitable ones. Imagine ...
