										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-87" title="Facebook Logos" src="http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/facebook_logo-300x300.png" alt="" width="210" height="210" srcset="http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/facebook_logo-300x300.png 300w, http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/facebook_logo-150x150.png 150w, http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/facebook_logo.png 311w" sizes="(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px" />These days a lot of people and companies use facebook as a marketing device, because there are simply so many people with a facebook account that you would have to be ignorant not to do this. Facebook is also free, so it is the perfect environment to present new services or products. Even so, you still need to put in some effort in order to actually make it worth while and you should probably start with facebook logos.</p>
<p>So, what makes good facebook logos and where should you start when looking to create one for your company? First of all, your logo needs to look professional. If you don’t have the necessary skills it is best to have a professional create the logo for you. In any case, facebook logos are very helpful and if done correctly, you will have a lot to gain from them.</p>
<p><span id="more-86"></span></p>
<p>Facebook logos in general, are simple and small because you need them to make statement without being complicated and large. Remember the 80’s when a lot of companies established themselves using smart logos that told the potential customer what kind of company they were looking at? That is what you should want to achieve.</p>
<p>The first thing that you have to think about is a color scheme that attracts people rather than being chaotic and confusing. It is rather simple to create good facebook logos just by using the correct colors. Of course, the colors can be toned down a bit to make the logo even less disturbing. So, make sure that you choose a couple of interesting colors that match.</p>
<p>After that pick some interesting shapes that flow well. Square shapes should be left out of your logo because they seem very old and very outdated. Nice flowing curves make a logo so much more interesting and elegant. You also need to make sure that the logo is not too crowded. Apart from the actual letters that make up the name of your company you shouldn’t have more than three or four other shapes and objects in the logo. The name should be easy to read.</p>
<p>Facebook logos can also be used for specific events or simply to give your account a bit of a personal touch. In each of the cases the above mentioned stages have to be followed in order to get a decent looking logo.</p>
<p>After all that is what facebook is all about, having your personal space managed, customized and used in whatever way you prefer. The logo should not be any different, so make sure that whatever you try, you make it look like it should be there and not that it is invading your profile. It should be a completion of your personal account. Facebook logos are, in fact, very good looking these days because most people have understood the way they need to look. It is not art, remember that, your logo is like a very good salesman, even if you are using it for your personal account.</p>

At the same time it can be used for increasing business if used effectively. Beside other social platforms, Twitter has been actively used for marketing. In order to get most out of your twitter account, you must know how to use twitter effectively and get most out of your time spent on twitter.</p>
<p><span id="more-80"></span></p>
<h2>1. Purpose of your Twitter account</h2>
<p>You must be clear with the purpose of your twitter account in order to plan for using twitter effectively. Keeping your name as username for personal account is fine, but think about using a related keyword or business name as your username. Keeping a simple and easy to remember username attracts other users.</p>
<h2>2. Keep &#8216;Bio&#8217; up-to-date and accurate</h2>
<p>Most followers look at your bio before following you, or visit your twitter page for the first time. Keeping your bio as short as possible with providing maximum information attracts the reader and increases the chances of following you.</p>
<h2>3. Know your followers</h2>
<p>People with automated scripts and softwares may follow your for the purpose of increasing their followers. Often such users are waste of space, and never interact on twitter. Instead, their sole purpose is to post spam.</p>
<h2>4. Networking with people sharing similar interests</h2>
<p>Search for people who have similar interests, hobbies, and activities as yours, and follow them. Interact with them and make them feel your importance. Start with inviting your friends by importing your address book at your email provider.</p>
<h2>5. Engage with others</h2>
<p>Replying to other&#8217;s tweets will increase your value. It will also make your more friends sharing similar activities, and therefore can be used for increasing your own business.</p>
<h2>6. Connect with other applications</h2>
<p>Integrate your Twitter account with other social networks and platforms, such as, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, LinkedIn, Your Blog, and Flickr. Sharing the activities on all platforms will result is simultaneous improvement in your friends network.</p>

<p>Facebook, besides being the largest social networking site in the world, it is also one of the largest online game providers, with over 1000 games. Top facebook games are played by millions of people each day and more games are added each month. You can easily find a game to your liking and enjoy without having to pay any money. You can also play with your friends and enjoy socializing on a completely new level.</p>
<p>So, what are the top facebook games of 2010? Well, we will tell you all about them in a minute.</p>
<p><span id="more-76"></span></p>
<h2>10. It Girl</h2>
<p>The number ten spot is reserved for “It Girl”. This is the game that will let you create your very own fashion shop without spending a dime. You can manage it in which ever way you want and you can, of course, have your friends visit it and help you expand it. The fact that it is mostly directed towards the female public puts it in the last spot on our top facebook games of 2010.</p>
<h2>9. Robot Unicorn Attack</h2>
<p>The number nine game on our list is “Robot Unicorn Attack”. This game has received high praises mostly because of the very good gameplay but also because of an internet meme concerning robot unicorns. The game is indeed pretty good and it works very well, especially if you happen to have a down day at the office and not too much is going on around you.</p>
<h2>8. Mighty Pirates</h2>
<p>The next top facebook games contender is the number eight game, “Mighty Pirates”. This game is rather new on the radar and not a lot of people have had a chance to try it, but it seems to be worth your while. It is very cool because you can customize your ship properly for the battles ahead and that always makes a game a lot more interesting.</p>
<h2>7. Flutter</h2>
<p>“Flutter” is the number seven game on our list because it is simply beautifully drawn and comes with addicting gameplay. You should really give it a try.</p>
<h2>6. Pocket God</h2>
<p>“Pocket god” comes in at number six and if you played and enjoyed “Black and White” you should really try this one. You will love it and it will keep you glued to the PC for a long time.</p>
<h2>5. City of Wonder</h2>
<p>The number five top facebook games candidate is “City of wonder”. It is the best substitute for the very well known Civilization franchise distributed on the PC. If you miss the old days, this is the game to bring it all back.</p>
<h2>4. Ravenwood Fair</h2>
<p>“Ravenwood Fair” is on the fourth spot because of the ease of play and the funny, yet demanding little animals. You can build your very own fair with a lot of interesting rides and games to attract customers.</p>
<h2>3. Zuma Blitz</h2>
<p>The first spot on our podium is occupied by “Zuma Blitz”. Everyone knows what Zuma is and what it wants from your and know you can play it on facebook.</p>
<h2>2. CityVille</h2>
<p>The runner up in our top facebook games leaderboard is “CityVille”. This is similar to some extent to “City of Wonder” but more playable and with a lot more content.</p>
<h2>1. FrontierVille</h2>
<p>The best facebook game of 2010 is not “Farmville”, as everyone expected, it is the moral successor, “FrontierVille”. This game is larger, easier to understand and in general a lot better than the famous “Farmville”.</p>
<p>This concludes our top facebook games of 2010. If you plan on trying some games on facebook, the ones you can see above are the ones that you should think about trying first.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-70 alignnone" title="Worst Facebook Status" src="http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1205808_system_fail.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1205808_system_fail.jpg 300w, http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1205808_system_fail-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Facebook is clearly the place to meet new people and to learn about what they are doing at the moment, what they like and where they live. It is also the place to see the worst facebook status. Seen as funny by some and as pathetic or annoying by others, the worst facebook status is updated frequently because having a lot of friends means there are a lot of bored people available to produce these statuses.</p>
<p>So, what is the worst facebook status? Well, because there are several of them at any given moment, we will split them up in a couple of categories. The first worst facebook status category is inspirational non sense. Statuses like</p>
<blockquote><p>“Success is a journey, not a destination”</p></blockquote>
<p>are considered to be very nasty because the person writing them is probably not the best one to inspire others and they are not going to actually use their own wisdom. In any case, this kind of status is not the worst.</p>
<p><span id="more-69"></span></p>
<p>Quoting can be the worst facebook status as well. Why? Because the words you type there are not yours to use and because most of the time they have nothing to do with your beliefs or life style. They are just something written there without any real significance. Coming up with your own quotes can be the opposite of this type of status.</p>
<p>We go even further and present with the next status category, the vague one. For example</p>
<blockquote><p>“I’m so sick of speaking words that no one understands”</p></blockquote>
<p>is one of the best or worst, rather. Who cares about that and why aren’t you speaking in other words, that people can understand? At least let us know what those words are and why you are using them.</p>
<p>And finally, the worst facebook status is the type that most people use. The commonness of this is probably what makes it the worst. Statuses like</p>
<blockquote><p>“just got home” “eating” or “watching tv”</p></blockquote>
<p>are right there with the worst of them. I mean yes, facebook is about letting people what you are doing and where you are at the moment, but eating is not really an interesting activity. No one cares that you just got home and that you are currently watching TV. Basically, it’s the biggest waste of time and it works both ways because you waste time writing and I waste time reading it.</p>
<p>People seem to get less original as time passes by mostly because they are always on the internet and on facebook reading about other people that are not original. I think that is what makes these statuses very bad, not being original at all. So, the worst facebook status is the one that you see most often from the same person. Apart from these categories, I think that statuses are bad in general, with very few cool ones or at least decent one that provide with some interesting piece of information for the general audience.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-67 alignleft" title="Cool Facebook Status" src="http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/818618_bystander_effect__shared_responsibility.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="175" />There are several types of cool facebook status and because we love cool stuff, we will talk about them in this article. Facebook seems to be all about making a lot of virtual friends and getting a lot of pushes on that like button under your statuses.</p>
<h2>The Funny One</h2>
<p>The first, and from what I can picture, the best cool facebook status category, is the funny one. I like a nice and funny status because that’s why I use facebook, for fun. It is so simple to tell a short but funny and interesting story and make someone’s day. Example range from a funny joke to a funny mistake you have made in some given situation, this is the definition of a cool facebook status.</p>
<p><span id="more-63"></span></p>
<h2>Interesting Information</h2>
<p>Another interesting category can be the statuses that actually provide with some sort of interesting information. Anything goes here, from events and movies to birthdays and parties. You can gather all your friends around in a couple of hours if you need to and that means that the status is cool. Even statuses that tell people about world issues, like the earth quake in Japan are cool because a lot of people get their news on facebook. This is very true, since statistics show that most people don’t have time to read the news because of too much time spent on facebook itself.</p>
<h2>Avoid Being Aggressive</h2>
<p>So, what do you need in order to create your very own cool facebook status? Well, first of all it needs to avoid being aggressive towards people because that is only cool for some of your friends, and by definition, a cool status needs to be cool for most of your friends. After that you really have to be original. Copying something is not cool, it’s just lame and it shows the world that you are lazy and not interesting at all.</p>
<h2>Public Interest Event</h2>
<p>A cool facebook status also needs to provide with information about a certain public interest event. If you provide with such information, you don’t need to worry about being funny or interesting in any way because will be interested in the information itself.</p>
<h2>Text Image</h2>
<p>Another simple way to have a cool status is to use a special combination of symbols that builds an image. There are a lot people using stuff like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>║▌║█║▌║▌││║▌║█║▌│║▌║█║▌║▌││║▌║ *ZAP* *BEEP* Price: $7.95</p></blockquote>
<p>This looks interesting and funny at the same time, so it basically defines coolness. It is also pretty original and you can easily think of something on the same note without it looking like something that has been done before.</p>
<h2>Be Original!</h2>
<p>Remember, always be original and funny or interesting if you want a cool facebook status.  It’s easier to simply copy something, but the satisfaction of creating something interesting and original is all worth the imagination effort. Give it a go and maybe even see what your friends have as a status right now. I’m sure you can find a couple of good ideas that you can turn into cool statuses with some minor tweaks.</p>

		<title>5 Best Solutions for Facebook Chat on Blackberry</title>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-56 alignleft" title="Facebook Chat on Blackberry" src="http://www.blockstatus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1035537_gelly_cartoon_balloon_2.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="127" />Facebook chat on Blackberry can be accomplished using several different apps, and because the decision is tough every time, we will attempt to present these options so that you can make the choice yourself.</p>
<h2>1. <a href="http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/blackberrymessenger/">Blackberry Messenger</a></h2>
<p>First, we have the Chat for Facebook app that you can find on the official Blackberry site. This is regarded as the most stable option because it is made by the makers of the Blackberry range, and they are the ones that know their products best. The idea is that, even if it is the more stable app, it is not the easiest to use and it seems to need a decent mobile internet connection. The interface can be pretty confusing some times and it requires a bit of time to get used to.</p>
<p><span id="more-55"></span></p>
<h2>2. <a href="http://www.ebuddy.com/">eBuddy</a></h2>
<p>The next option you have in terms of facebook chat on Blackberry is the ebuddy app. This can be used on most Blackberry handhelds and it usually works pretty well, but you need to create an ebuddy account besides your facebook one. The app works decently fast and you can get used to the interface within minutes. The downside is that it can crash sometimes, especially on older devices.</p>
<h2>3. <a href="http://www.beejive.com/">Beejive IM</a></h2>
<p>Beejive IM is the third option for facebook chat on blackberry. It is rather new and still in beta phase, but it works very well and it provides with additional options over the other apps. When it gets released as a final product a lot of people think that it could be the best option for facebook chat on blackberry.</p>
<h2>4. <a href="http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=im&amp;platform=bb">IM+</a></h2>
<p>IM+ is a simple app that incorporates a lot of different chat options for different IM programs, including facebook. It can be a bit confusing at times, but in general it works rather well. You can choose to use it only for facebook or for several IM programs at a time. It has the option of working without a dedicated mobile internet connection in some countries, using the provider’s free access to some IM programs.</p>
<h2>5. <a href="http://www.trillian.im/">Trillian</a></h2>
<p>The last option you have when looking for facebook chat on blackberry is an upcoming app that you have probably heard about before, Trillian. Yes, the app is coming to Blackberry (and several other mobile platforms) and it promises to offer a rather special chat experience. It will cost around 10 dollars, but for that you get a lot of options and a great interface, just like the one you were used to a couple of years ago on your desktop computer.</p>
<p>So, these are the options and for me, the best one is difficult to pick. I think that it would be best to try all of them for a couple of days and see which one suits you best. Since you can find most of them for free on as a trial, you can easily download all of them and test them properly. Facebook chat on blackberry is not impossible anymore, as it was just a couple of months ago.</p>

<p>The increasing use of Social Media has resulted in most of the time consumed in updating status at Facebook and Twitter. Connecting Facebook and Twitter can save time and update facebook status on updating the twitter status from PC, Mac, or a Smartphone.</p>
<p>Separately updating your status and Facebook and Twitter is an old thing, and consumes lot of time.

<p>Facebook has been continuously upgrading its features, feel, and look. Many people still find the Old Facebook better, and like to <strong>Login</strong> to <strong>Old Facebook</strong>. Reasons why people demand so can be:</p>
<h2>1. People are lazy to upgrade their web browsers</h2>
<p>Most changes at Facebook are not compatible with newer browsers and result in errors and browser issues. Many users don&#8217;t want to upgrade their browsers for several reasons, and therefore it results in liking the old versions.</p>
<p><span id="more-45"></span></p>
<h2>2. They do not accept Change easily</h2>
<p>The issue of not accepting the Change is commonly present among all of us. Getting used to new layout takes time, and makes it harder to find desired options quickly. This makes us wanting the Old version back so that we could easily do what we used to before the upgrades.</p>
<h2>3. Old facebook looked simple, with limited features</h2>
<p>While Facebook is continuously improving their systems, the design and features were also simple in older version. <strong>Old Facebook</strong> seemed easy to navigate for some users, and that is the reason they still like Older Facebook.</p>
<h2>4. Bots and Scripts compatiblity with old facebook</h2>
<p>Users had fun with many tweaking scripts and bots compatible with Old Facebook. Those scripts are not compatible with New Facebook. That is another reason users wanted older version for fun.</p>
<h2>5. People just hate New Facebook for no Good Reason</h2>
<p>People often simple like things in their original and actual shape. Even the improvement doesn&#8217;t carry any good for them. Similar is the case with classic car lovers.</p>
<p>New features and layouts always come with improvement, and it should be appreciated by the users. Few things might be better in older versions, but losing something for gaining better is a better idea.</p>

Many discussions are going on whether the use of social networks is waste of time. Surveys found that PC Gaming, Internet, and now Social Networks have contributed in decline of physical activity and sports among youth. There is much more than just the time wasted. The future of youth seem unhealthy, lazy, and dark due to Social Networks. On the other hand, people are utilizing these social networks for even increasing physical activity by joining with people of similar interests.</p>
