Google+ looks like a duck to me.
Google denies that Google+ is a social network. What it is, they cannot tell you exactly. “It’s email, Twitter, circles, hangouts, chat, documents, photo sharing, collaboration, friendship, business… all rolled into one!” And that, to me, sounds pretty social, don’t you think? Google’s track record with social networks hasn’t been awesome. If I was in their shoes, I would say the same thing, just in case it flunks like the rest of it. “ooh no, we’re not competing against Facebook or...

We all love Facebook, and a lot of us like Twitter, and now there’s the next one – I believe; FriedEggs.com. It’s kind of a combination of the two, and also updates both of the above if you wish it to.

It’s not – it will take a computer more time and more attempts...

Even though Facebook has a lot of fun little apps and games, you might want to restrict the use of them when you’re involving others. A lot of people are using Facebook in business purposes, and it’s simply not cool having friends constantly send you “cute gifts” or “nice things” or bug me to take in a lost pet or keep you updated on their latest Bejewelled Blitz score. While most people get this, there can be just a couple of people who keep doing this, sometimes several times a day – or an hour! And...
read moreShould I start a Facebook Group or a Page?
I think a lot of us are a bit confused about the differences between a group and a page. Even though I administer both types, I couldn’t answer that off the top of my hat. Official or casual? The most obvious difference between the two is that groups are primarily intended for a more casual use while pages are intended for businesses, brands, products, organisations, artists, bands or public figures. Groups can be pretty much about anything, and there is a category “just for fun” which is probably the most used classification...
