Facebook subscriptions - to what extent are they visible to others?

Q. Now I've noticed that there are three 'levels' of subscription you can have. One is for only important updates, another is for most updates, and the other is for all updates. Mine is currently by default set to 'most updates' on all of my friends... If I adjust it to receive all updates, will this change be made visible to that person?

A. No, they will not know.

Is Facebook a liability when it comes to having a relationship?
Q. Photos or comments can be misleading and interpreted in many ways.. Do you think networking actually hurts more than it actually helps a relationship?

A. It depends on the two having a relationship and how trusting or trustworthy they are.If both sides trust each other there should be no problems.

I am starting a new job in 2 months. Can i put it on LinkedIn now, with future start date?

Q. I will leave my current job in a week, and will start a new job in 2 months, much better overall terms and position. Should i wait for 2 months until i update my Linked-In with the new job, or can i put an end date on the current job, add the new job, and put starting date in 2 months time?
Thanks

A. I would wait until you start the job. You don't want to jinx anything! Then you will also have more deals about your responsibilities to add to the description. You can however, put an end date for your current job on your profile once it ends.

Is it actually worth it to use Linkedin?
Q. I am skeptical but thinking of using Linkedin.
Have you experienced or know of an actual case where a person got a job because of Linkedin ?

Most of the professionals I know just have a profile and contacts but dont actually get anything out of it.

A. DON'T DO IT

I am still trying to get them to stop spamming my e-mail address. If you do it, I would make a new e-mail just for updates from them.

I have never gotten a job from linkedin and honestly they have a bad rep. I have gotten a few jobs actually from snagajob.com....so maybe try there?

How does facebook make money from people sending gifts?

Q. Like people who send photos and gifts like a virtual teddybear? Where is the money coming from?

A. Facebook users have the option to pay money for 'credits'. They can then exchange these credits for gifts or photos to their friends via Facebook. Credits can be used and earned on many Facebook applications and games.

Hope this helps :-)

How does facebook get money if signing up is free?
Q. When we use fb, we don't pay anything, so how does the facebook company get money and become rich?

A. It's all about Advertising and the revenue it brings in. No different to this site.

Everyone moans about it [personally it doesn't bother me] but what do you want?

A site that is free to use or one that you would have to pay a hefty subscription to use?

To give you some idea the amount of money it generates, I remember reading an article about ads on TV a few years back. Then it used to cost between £4 to 8,000 for a three minute slot depending on the time of day.

Also don't forget all advertising by a company is tax deductable! That's why we're all swamped with it.

Q. My dad is following me on twitter to see what I'm doing but I don't want him to see my tweets? If I block him will this stop him from seeing my tweets?

Is it a good idea to include my facebook and twitter web addresses on my CV?
Q. I always keep my activity on facebook and twitter clean and have nothing to hide from potential employers. Would including the web addresses improve my CV?

A. No it wouldn't improve it. Having a link to your social networking site could lead them to think you're a facebook/ twitter addict and might be on them instead of working.

Trust me, employeers find potential employees on the internet anyway, but having it on your CV might make them think you'll be on them instead of working.

Q. I'd love to know how the founders of those popular sites hosted their websites when they first began as start ups? Have they used online web hosting companies to host their sites? If yes any idea which are those? Thanks for your answer.

A. they probably had their own servers, which they bought, its expensive though unless you have a unique idea of a website and a professional team to implement it. use any hosting company and if you notice your website is becoming big buy your own servers and higher people to manage them. for now I recommend HostGator, they are pretty good, here is a 25% off coupon: 25OFFURORDER

I use platplatforms like Twitter to educate and connect with my audience about my products and services not sell. I explain why they should do business with me.

What do people Twitter about and why do others care?

Q. I don't get the whole Twitter fad. Who cares about the minuscule details of a random person's life? Why do people care so much on Twitter, yet no one cares about anyone in their own neighborhoods and communities anymore. Everyone just walks around with their noses in their iphones and don't even bother to look up and say "hi" to people they know.

A. I have no idea ... and the last part with saying "hi" ... it doesn't seem right or fair to me ... i mean ... it seems like their lives are revolving around the internet -virtual world - ... and ... that's not right ... at least not in my point of view.

Q. I'm a college student and I've made a LinkedIn profile. I want to go into the publishing industry when I graduate next year. I work on campus at an unrelated job. Should I have my current job as my professional headline and industry, or should I have what I aspire to be?

A. Definitely put what you aspire to be. It's perfectly OK to market yourself for the industry you want to work in, which includes building an online persona that portrays you as a "member" of that industry. Of course you'll need to do other things to make that online persona credible, like an internship, work-study, or self-publishing activities.

Q. I applied to a Craigslist job post yesterday, and then found the same job on LinkedIn. I wanted to apply through LinkedIn so that the Hiring Manager could see my profile immediately, but I'm afraid that it might be a turn off.

A. No. Only apply for each position ONCE.

If you apply twice you look like:
a) Clueless
b) Submitting so many applications you can't remember to what you applied for
c) Annoying
You don't want to be any of those things. Huge turn-off

How does twitter following and followers work?

Q. Like I have 14 followers and 13 following, I know the 13 are the people I'm following but who are the 14 people? Do I have to follow them back? And how come I went from 32 followers to 13?

A. so basically you can follow people and the people you choose to follow become the people your following (i hope that made sense, lol) so the people that you are following their tweets will show up in your timeline (like your home page on twitter) so your followers are people that follow you. your tweets will show up in their timeline. the 14 people are strangers, unless you know them (like if a friend of yours follows you). most of the time when i get a new follower i go on their profile page and if i like their tweets i will follow them, also if you follow them there is less of a chance they will unfollow you. but you don't need to follow them if you don't want to. the reason you went from 32 followers to 13 is because the people that were following you unfollowed you, so they will not show up as a follower anymore there are many reasons why a person might unfollow you from twitter (one example is they don't like your tweets). I hope this helped and i wasn't to confusing :S

For experts of twitter: how do I get start getting popular?
Q. I created this alterego and id like to have lots of friends, saying things and stuff, but i dont know where to start getting some friends!

A. Be interesting.

Don't just follow people in the hopes that they follow back, and don't follow someone just because they're following you. Only follow people if they are interesting. What's the point of having one of those followers who's following like, 50,000 people? It's not like they're actually reading your tweets. They can't possibly read all of the tweets of everybody they are following.

Is facebook really going to start charging money?

Q. I just read some things about Facebook charging money to use it! Is this true, or just a scam?

A. This is a stupid scam that goes around every few months. Facebook is and always will be free. They make money from advertisers. If they charged, I would guess 40-50% of users would leave the site, their ad revenues would go down, their advertisers would find another site to advertise on, and their profits would fall. Facebook is never going to charge users - that would be committing financial suicide

Is facebook going to start charging membership fees?
Q. I`ve heard rumors about this and seen those status` about copying and pasting and you wont be charged. I know theirs been rumors before but just wondering if this times foreal. Honestly couldn`t care less but would just like to know.

A. No, it's just another silly chain letter.

Will facebook and the police track down someone who made a fake facebook account?
Q. My friend had a facebook account and then deactivated it and 2 days later we found out that someone made a fake account of him. HIs mom messaged the person who faked the account and the person just deactivated their account. My friend's mom said in the message that she reported the fake account to facebook and the police but has not done it yet. If she does it, will the police get involved and track the person's IP Address down?

A. Yes they will track them down. We had a lecture about this kind of stuff in school this year. All you have to do is report what happened, and the police will do their best to help you.
We have those kinds of incidents all over the country as well.

People do it either for "fun", or out of anger with the victim.

You better watch out for this kind of stuff.

Q. I want to update my profile but I don't want it going to all my contacts. I just want to update I don't want people to think I am looking for another job.

A. they probably had their own servers, which they bought, its expensive though unless you have a unique idea of a website and a professional team to implement it. use any hosting company and if you notice your website is becoming big buy your own servers and higher people to manage them. for now I recommend HostGator, they are pretty good, here is a 25% off coupon: 25OFFURORDER

What do people Twitter about and why do others care?
Q. I don't get the whole Twitter fad. Who cares about the minuscule details of a random person's life? Why do people care so much on Twitter, yet no one cares about anyone in their own neighborhoods and communities anymore. Everyone just walks around with their noses in their iphones and don't even bother to look up and say "hi" to people they know.

A. I have no idea ... and the last part with saying "hi" ... it doesn't seem right or fair to me ... i mean ... it seems like their lives are revolving around the internet -virtual world - ... and ... that's not right ... at least not in my point of view.
So ... I don't give a tweet about twitter!

Is Facebook really going to start charging money?

Q. Ok, I've seen several new groups and/or pages talking about Facebook charging money to use it next month.
Is this true?
Why are they doing this?
Why haven't I gotten anything official from the Facebook people saying this?

A. No that would NEVER happen.

They wouldn't make as much as they do now if they started to charge.
They have 300million active users right now, they have little advertising yet they make more a day then we could even dream of. If they started charging statistics show more then 80% of people would eventually become unactive. Facebook are smart people. THEY WOULD NEVER MAKE IT A PAYSITE. facebook is like the 3rd most popular website next to google and youtube. they want to keep it like that.
if it became a pay website facebook would be soon forgotten and people would wind back at myspace.

How does twitter following and followers work?

Q. Like I have 14 followers and 13 following, I know the 13 are the people I'm following but who are the 14 people? Do I have to follow them back? And how come I went from 32 followers to 13?

A. so basically you can follow people and the people you choose to follow become the people your following (i hope that made sense, lol) so the people that you are following their tweets will show up in your timeline (like your home page on twitter) so your followers are people that follow you. your tweets will show up in their timeline. the 14 people are strangers, unless you know them (like if a friend of yours follows you). most of the time when i get a new follower i go on their profile page and if i like their tweets i will follow them, also if you follow them there is less of a chance they will unfollow you. but you don't need to follow them if you don't want to. the reason you went from 32 followers to 13 is because the people that were following you unfollowed you, so they will not show up as a follower anymore there are many reasons why a person might unfollow you from twitter (one example is they don't like your tweets). I hope this helped and i wasn't to confusing :S

What should I put as my professional headline and industry on LinkedIn?
Q. I'm a college student and I've made a LinkedIn profile. I want to go into the publishing industry when I graduate next year. I work on campus at an unrelated job. Should I have my current job as my professional headline and industry, or should I have what I aspire to be?

A. Definitely put what you aspire to be. It's perfectly OK to market yourself for the industry you want to work in, which includes building an online persona that portrays you as a "member" of that industry. Of course you'll need to do other things to make that online persona credible, like an internship, work-study, or self-publishing activities.

Would you apply to a job twice through different resources such as Craigslist and LinkedIn?
Q. I applied to a Craigslist job post yesterday, and then found the same job on LinkedIn. I wanted to apply through LinkedIn so that the Hiring Manager could see my profile immediately, but I'm afraid that it might be a turn off.

A. No. Only apply for each position ONCE.

If you apply twice you look like:
a) Clueless
b) Submitting so many applications you can't remember to what you applied for
c) Annoying
You don't want to be any of those things. Huge turn-off
