What Is Social Networking?

Using social networking, people can connect with online and group memberships to keep in touch with current friends, reconnect with old friends or create real–life friendships through similar interests or groups.

Besides establishing important social relationships, social networking members can share their interests with other like–minded members by joining groups and forums.

Most social networking websites also offer additional features. In addition to blogs and forums, members can express themselves by designing their profile page to reflect their personality.

What Is Social Bookmarking?

Have you ever e-mailed a friend or family member and sent them a link to a website you thought they might find interesting?  Basically that is social bookmarking.

When you save a website and saving it for later. Instead of saving them to your web browser, you are saving them to the web. And, because your bookmarks are online, you can easily share them with friends.

Not only can you save your favorite websites and send them to your friends, but you can also look at what other people have found interesting enough to tag.

Last month, Facebook finally announced that they would allow users to pick out custom usernames for use in vanity URLs that read www.facebook.com/username.

I got mine www.Facebook.com/JohnPaulAguiar

Users were advised to “choose wisely” because the username they selected would be stuck with them for life.

We all have seen some funny and sad usernames that people have chosen. Anyone that is having second thoughts about their choice, they’ll be happy to know they now have the option to select a username yet again.

Looks like Facebook has launched a new option in the settings area called “username” where you have the option to change your Facebook username.

To find this option, go to “Settings” at the top-right of the Facebook page and then click on “Account Settings.”

The second option from the top is “Username.” Press “Change” to enter in your new username and then click “Confirm” when you’re ready to set it.

Since there’s no official announcement from Facebook at this time, it’s hard to know why they’ve decided to give users another chance to pick their names.

But for whatever reason, those wanting a fix with their FB usernames, now have the opportunity for a re-do.

Just know that you only have one chance to “fix”..Facebook “Choose your new username carefully.

So Think Twice and Change Once!

Ok today I am going to vent a little bit.

See I’m new to the blogging world and I have been slowly learning a lot from numerous top bloggers out there and believe me I am very appreciative.

But the problem I ran into last week was because I was taking a top blogger for his word, and followed his advice, which was BS!

I followed his advice on the Social Spark and promoting their crap thru CPC, and how much money you can make and how it wasn’t worth his  time to make up to $500 a day to invest his time, etc..

He talked about using Twitter marketing services like RevTwt to put out your link.

Now here are the issues

Social Spark sucks ass they are sooo tight on click qualifying that you will never make any real money.

I had over 800 “invalid clicks” with only 17 “possible qualifying clicks” that was before they canceled my link without telling me.  So I continued to pay for clicks thru RevTwt.. not cool!

Also I got this email from SP a week after my links were magically gone “We truly appreciate your enthusiasm! However, we have noted that you obtained many clicks for your CPC Opportunities from an outside marketing platform, http://revtwt.com which is in violation of our Terms Of Service sect. 3.8.”

The issue with this is,, you remember that top blogger?  He specifically said he used Revtwt and other Twitter marketing sites to promote his links..hmmm maybe the blogger and SP should review TOS and the post BEFORE it goes out?

This was all a complete waste of my time and money, because I chose to trust the “top blogger” and thought he was talking about his true efforts not a paid post.

So I contacted revtwt and explained my problem and I was refunded the remainder of my money within the hour.

They have been great!

Now this is NOT a promotion of revtwt, this is just me telling you that I was happy with there service and customer service and that I would work with them again.

End of the day I wasted money, time and lost respect for a blogger I had been following for the past 6 mnths.

Live and learn people, and when you read a post, ask yourself is he talking from experience or is it just  a really well written paid post
