Picasso
I just read a fantastic article by Pamela Wilson over at Copyblogger.com titled “The Picasso Guide to Becoming a Social Media Legend.”
For those of you non-reading artists, the article does scroll down a ways, but it’s really worth the read. You’ll learn some interesting things both about Picasso as well as Social Media.
Rather you’re a Picasso art fan or not, the man definitely operated some disciplines in his life that we all can learn something from.
- Change your game, because the game is always changing.
- Draw inspiration from the world around you.
- Work. Work. Work. And work some more.
So, head on over to Copyblogger and enjoy the read.
I’m using the new Profile page!!! It’s fun to play with….
Finally, some individuality is coming back to the Profile pages of Facebook. It’s really quite exciting. Anyway, I’m very excited about. Yes, I know….. more changes. Oh how we humans hate change and grumble at Facebook for constantly making us go through change after change after change.
But, really. You’re going to enjoy this one. It’s going to make it fun to cruise around and look at everyone’s Profile pages. Most of the time we never even visit our “friends” Profiles. Why should we, they all look alike.

What the heck does this mean? Well, it’s comparable to clicking the Like button on a Page you want to follow. So if you want to follow a Person’s status reports without becoming Friends, you can subscribe to them.

On your Home page your News Feed shows the status update of every friend in your list, the Like pages you follow, Group activities, events, etc, etc. It can be overwhelming. Plus, once again, Facebook decides what is most important to show up in that feed.
So, if you swear up and down that you’re missing something and you know it should be there, well, it probably is, it’s just not being shown to you at the moment because Facebook decided it wasn’t important enough.

Facebook is streamlining right side of the menu bar. The words Profile and My Account are going away. You’ll now just see your name, Home and a drop down arrow.
It all works pretty much the same as before. The Edit Friends item is missing from the drop down, but you can do that via your Home page anyway.
A cool feature is the “View As” button that has been add in the upper right of your Profile page. When you click it a box open for you to type in a friend’s name and you can see what your profile page looks like for them. This could be important if you want to limit what some people can see.
If you decide they are seeing too much, then go to your privacy settings and make some adjustments.
The reports are coming in. Most folks don’t seem to be too turned on by this feature. It’s Top News stories decided by Facebook. They won’t share with anyone how they decide what top news items they think should appear in our News Feeds.
It sits at the very top of your News Feed when you arrive at Home page at login.
Don’t like the story choices coming in, click the drop down arrow on the right, and hide them. Facebook will pick something else as Top News to send to you. They think this a cool idea, more of a News Paper sort of thing. Most of us aren’t on Facebook for this sort of info.
You can kind of ignore it, just scroll down and get to your typical News Feed. And remember, Facebook isn’t finished with this feature. It can change.
