Embeding Video To Your Blog

The FLV Embed Plug-in Which Works A Treat…

It’s been a while since I’ve last been blogging – so I thought I’d set aside half an hour today and concentrate on getting one done. The reason I haven’t been blogging as much, is because I’ve been headlong in to creating products and that can really use up your time :) , but it is also what every marketer should be gearing themselves towards by moving forward in that direction.

Here’s two of them products that are completed…

Amazon S3 online storage service…

Hosting Your Videos and More with Amazon s3

Videos eat up a lot of bandwidth…sure you can upload your videos to your own server, but the problem with that is you’re limited to the amount of bandwidth you can have and once you reach that limit, it’s going to put a strain on your account and your videos are going to play really slow or worse…won’t play at all.

So for a really good streaming experience – that’s where Amazon S3 comes in.

Facebooks Roles Out New Newsfeed

So I’ve had a few ask me about the new Facebook Newsfeed layout, but One in particular?

“Why have they done away with the old “Top Stories” & “Most Recent” seeing as almost 50% of the people on Facebook actually used it.”

This has always been on Facebooks agenda to try and sort out what way the newsfeed works. Way back when Facebook was starting out, they would give you a listing of posts that they thought were important, the downside to it was…the posts were sitting there and could have been up to 3 or 4 hours old news.

Google+ Trying Out New Extras.

Googles raising their game a little, better for us :)

They’ve now introduced a few more options that is going to make a big difference…especially where we can now enter into a group discussion with up to 9 other people and show each other our computer screens, currently these options are still in testing mode, but they are really on it here and are asking for peoples feed back.

Facebook Subscribe

Yehaaaa….Facebook Subscribe 

Facebook has changed a few things again, but this time it’s really going to help us out a lot.

We now have the option of allowing (non-fans) to subscribe to our public posts on our personal profile. (NOTE)…Facebook have left this an optional feature were if you decide you want to use it — you can turn it on here.

…Here’s a quick rundown on the benifits:

Edgerank Formula

So what’s it all about?

Well it’s about News Feed Optimization (NFO) and it’s a formula that Facebook use called Edgerank, basically it’s how they determine who’s content should be shown on who’s Newsfeeds.

There are THREE fundamentals involved here:

1. AFFINITY: this means the relationship that your Fan has with your page, how much they Interact, Comment, Like.

2 . WEIGHT: this means that every piece of content has a specific score attached to it and that involves how much they like, comment, share or use the @tagging option.

G+me – Google Chrome Extention

Here’s another quick video on another neat extension for Google+ users.

I find it very useful indeed and can now tidy up my G+ posts with the click of a button :) that’s always a BIG PLUS in my eyes, lol.

Facebook App Update

A quick video guys — Facebook have been making a lot of changes for the better and they’ve now made it a whole lot easier to add an app to a page of our choice. Before this, some people were finding it a little difficult to integrate their app with a page.

If you would like to find out how to create your own page for Facebook…which is a lot easier than you think, I’ve created a FREE course showing you how to get your business noticed on Facebook, which may I say…is where all the traffic is right now.
