How to Tag in your FB post and status
Jan 8th
One of the most popular features on Facebook is tagging, which gives you the ability to identify and reference people in photos, videos and notes. Today, we are adding a new way to tag people and other things you’re connected to on Facebook — in status updates and other posts from the Publisher. It’s another way to let people know who and what you’re talking about.
People often update their status to reflect their thoughts and feelings, or to mention things they feel like sharing. Sometimes that includes referencing friends, groups or even events they are attending — for instance, posting “Grabbing lunch with Meredith Chin” or “I’m heading to Starbucks Coffee Company — anyone want some coffee?”.
Now, when you are writing a status update and want to add a friend’s name to something you are posting, just include the “@” symbol beforehand. As you type the name of what you would like to reference, a drop-down menu will appear that allows you to choose from your list of friends and other connections, including groups, events, applications and Pages. Soon, you’ll be able to tag friends from applications as well. The “@” symbol will not be displayed in the published status update or post after you’ve added your tags.
Friends you tag in your status updates will receive a notification and a Wall post linking them to your post. They also will have the option to remove tags of themselves from your posts. We hope that tagging your status updates and others posts from the Publisher will enable you to share in a more meaningful and engaging way, and connect with even more people. We’re rolling this feature out over the course of the next few weeks, so you may not see the new feature just yet.
Start with Blogging to Make money
Dec 26th
The very first thing you should consider starting with when it comes
to making money online is blogging. If you establish a blog, not
only is it free, but you can monetize it in several ways.
What is a blog? A blog, originally known as “weblog” is a continuous
string of posts that you make about whatever you want to talk about.
It can be reviews, information about your particular niche, or just
what your thoughts are on the world at hand. If you are sharing
valuable information in a particular “niche” you can actually get
sponsors to post ads on your blog. However it is easier to monetize
your blog in other ways.
For instance, there is Google. Google has the “Adsense Program”,
named because the ads actually “sense” what you are blogging about
and match the topics accordingly. I will have more information on
Adsense for you shortly. There is also something very smart that you
can do. You can advertise other people’s products on your blog, by
being an “affiliate” for them. I’ll be going over that as well.
For now, the most common thing to do is to get your free “Wordpress”
blog and install it on your server. That isn’t very hard to do. So
go ahead to Wordpress.com now and download and install your free
Wordpress blog and let’s forge ahead!
The simplest form of making money online: Adsense!

There is no doubt that you have seen those little “mini-ads” that
pop up on websites throughout the web. Those little
ads are something that you may someday place yourself on other
people’s pages. For now, though, consider this – if you take those
ads and place them on your blog, or your website.. YOU will get paid
anytime somebody clicks on them!
