Last week, Jonathan Rivera from Real-Tech Guy had his Facebook page (The Official Real Estate Referral Group) turned off. I am sure he, and many others have learned a lot from the experience. Jonathan has created a report to help you understand how to protect yourself from losing everything. He shares this 6 page report on list building to help cover and potentially save your business.
Thanks for sharing your ideas Jonathan!
Search no more! FacebookButton.net has a wide variety of buttons for every style under the sun. Here is a sampling …
Have you noticed on Facebook that some fan pages have nice neat logical branded URLs and others have a generic URL made up of numbers and letters?
Would you like to have a custom branded URL for your fan page?
When you first set up your Facebook Page, you are given a generic URL of numbers and letters. Once you have successfully passed the point of having 25 people “like this” page, you can create a custom URL for your fan page.
To create your custom URL, go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ .
If you have not yet gotten 25 people to click “like this” for your fan page, remember that you can always send out a quick note to your friends/family/co-workers by using the “Suggest to Friends” option just below the image on the left hand of your screen.
Happy branding!

“Today Facebook officially announced the option for allowing users to completely opt-out of the Facebook Platform and prevent applications from gaining access to their information. While many developers are rightfully concerned about the feature, we’d like to take the opportunity to thoroughly address how the new “opt-out button” functions and what it will mean for developers.”

“By now, most of you have heard about Facebook Pages and many of you have set up one or more for your real estate business or local communities.

Thanks for the update Social Media Examiner … “UPDATE: Facebook seemed to have backtracked on custom landing tabs for pages. I think your loud & clear voice of opposition made a difference. At least for now things are back to normal. See discussion here: http://www.facebook.com/smexaminer#!/smexaminer?v=wall&story_fb…id=125359040823346

“When a piece of software is automatically installed on your computer without your knowledge, it’s called malware. But what do you call it when Facebook apps are added to your profile without your knowledge? We discovered Wednesday that this is actually happening, and stopping it isn’t as easy as checking a box in your privacy settings.”
