Facebook comment system websites is a common thing we see these days and to be candid, it's a great way to engage your readers and keep your website interactive.

Facebook Phone: Would You Even Buy One?

June 14, 2012 By Don Caprio 7 Comments

This may sound not true but Facebook is a struggling company. It looks like a very big company but the fact is that Facebook has so many challenges and as some predicted, Facebook may disappear in the next five years.

Facing the Facebook problem This raises so many questions about the survival of the company. It's also reported that Facebook isn't doing so well with ads. When was the last time you actually took … [Read more...]

April 12, 2012 By Don Caprio Leave a Comment

The Google+ Project took a new turn this morning with the launching of a whole new version of the social network user interface. At first, I thought it was my browser playing some funny tricks when my Google+ profile was loading in a most unusual way. The revamped Google+ looks a lot better and modern than what they had before and I'm telling you, I really love the new look. Your profile picture is now placed somewhere in the middle, something I haven't seen in other social networks and definitely, it comes with the clean, simple look Google's associated with. I haven't been using Google+ much but the new look got me staying there a bit longer today. Have you even checked Google Plus … [Read more...]

how to add location under facebook status update

I was going through a forum when someone raised a concern about how Facebook shows your current city (ex., near Lagos) below every status update and uploaded photos. The person in question expressed concern over stalkers and those on her list who are not even real friends. Facebook is full of normal people and wierdos as well and for this reason, there's need to be careful about the way you use it. I'm not saying disclosing your real location is not good at all, I just don't like the idea personally.
