7 Steps to Improve Your Facebook EdgeRank and Dominate Facebook

2011-08-03T05:19:00.000-07:00

Find out your Edgerank: Visit the unofficial Edgerank Checker to verify each of your pages Edgerank Score.
Post more Videos & Pictures: Not only do they grab people’s attention compared to the standard text updates; they also seem to be highly favoured by the Edgerank algorithm.
Encourage Commenting: Bear in mind that when you create content, your main goal is to encourage interaction. So, make sure to ASK for comments, feedbacks and even “likes” (something is better than nothing).
Interact With Your Audience: Interact with your audience more frequently. When they see that you actually reply to their comments, they’re more likely to engage. Don’t forget to do a Crowd Source for content ideas. Not only will the content resonate with your audience, they’ll definitely appreciate being included in the creation process.
Ask the Questions: The best way to engage with your audience is to ask them questions. You will be surprised how many of them will answer you. The key is to make sure you have a call to action. So, Ask and you shall receive.
Watch Your Timing: Now that you have a targeted, engaged audience, the last thing you want to do is blow it by posting too many updates. Unfortunately, there is no magic formula. The frequency of your updates will depend on your audience. Start smaller (3 updates per week to once a day), and work your way up to the “sweet spot”.
Personality: When engaging with your audience, feel free to let your personality flow through. The last thing you want is for your audience to feel like they’re talking to a machine.

Be Secure On Facebook

2011-08-03T05:16:00.000-07:00

Facebook Secure Browsing

Facebook allows users to browse Facebook over asecure https connection, which will add added security to your Facebook account. The feature is not enabled by default, but you can change it in your Facebook settings easily.

Go to facebook.com/editaccount.php and visit the Account Security details. Look for the Secure browsing option – “Choose Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible”, tick the checkbox and Save.

Next time you visit Facebook, look for the secure icon on the browser location bar and the https url instead of the http url.

Why doesn’t Facebook enable Secure browsing by default for all users? Well firstly the page loading speed is much slower over a secure connection. Secondly, not all Facebook apps will support secure https connections, so they will not work.

When you want to quickly search for files without leaving your current open window, you can try Quick Search.

The application also features a full sized window where you can view the app in full mode.

Double clicking on the results will open the contained folder of the search result. Quick Search provides key words search over files, folders, music, photos, web pages that are stored locally on your computer.

21 Tactics to Increase Blog Traffic

2011-07-20T04:15:00.000-07:00

A considerable portion of my consulting time has recently revolved around the optimization of corporate blogs (or the addition of blogs to revamped sites). As usual, I find a pattern emerging in the strategies that need attention and the pitfalls that must be avoided. So, rather than charging $400 an hour to give advice on the subject, I thought it would be valuable to share many of the most common pieces of advice here on the blog (business part of Rand fights with open source Rand, but loses, as usual).

Choose the Right Blog Software (or Custom Build)
The right blog CMS makes a big difference. If you want to set yourself apart, I recommend creating a custom blog solution - one that can be completely customized to your users. In most cases,WordPress, Blogger, MovableType or Typepad will suffice, but building from scratch allows you to be very creative with functionality and formatting. The best CMS is something that's easy for the writer(s) to use and brings together the features that allow the blog to flourish. Think about how you want comments, archiving, sub-pages, categorization, multiple feeds and user accounts to operate in order to narrow down your choices. OpenSourceCMS is a very good tool to help you select a software if you go that route.
-
Host Your Blog Directly on Your Domain
Hosting your blog on a different domain from your primary site is one of the worst mistakes you can make. A blog on your domain can attract links, attention, publicity, trust and search rankings - by keeping the blog on a separate domain, you shoot yourself in the foot. From worst to best, your options are - Hosted (on a solution like Blogspot or Wordpress), on a unique domain (at least you can 301 it in the future), on a subdomain (these can be treated as unique from the primary domain by the engines) and as a sub-section of the primary domain (in a subfolder or page - this is the best solution).

First and foremost, you're writing a title tag for the people who will visit your site or have a subscription to your feed. Title tags that are short, snappy, on-topic and catchy are imperative. You also want to think about search engines when you title your posts, since the engines can help to drive traffic to your blog. A great way to do this is to write the post and the title first, then run a few searches at Overture, WordTracker & KeywordDiscovery to see if there is a phrasing or ordering that can better help you to target "searched for" terms.
-
Participate at Related Forums & BlogsWhatever industry or niche you're in, there are bloggers, forums and an online community that's already active. Depending on the specificity of your focus, you may need to think one or two levels broader than your own content to find a large community, but with the size of the participatory web today, even the highly specialized content areas receive attention. A great way to find out who these people are is to use Technorati to conduct searches, then sort by number of links (authority). Del.icio.us tags are also very useful in this process, as are straight searches at the engines (Ask.com's blog search in particular is of very good quality).
-
Tag Your Content
Technorati is the first place that you should be tagging posts. I actually recommend having the tags right on your page, pointing to the Technorati searches that you're targeting. There are other good places to ping - del.icio.us and Flickr being the two most obvious (the only other one isBlogmarks, which is much smaller). Tagging content can also be valuable to help give you a "bump" towards getting traffic from big sites like Reddit, Digg & StumbleUpon (which requires that you download the toolbar, but trust me - it's worth it). You DO NOT want to submit every post to these sites, but that one out of twenty (see tactic #18) is worth your while.
-
Launch Without Comments (and Add Them Later)There's something sad about a blog with 0 comments on every post. It feels dead, empty and unpopular. Luckily, there's an easy solution - don't offer the ability to post comments on the blog and no one will know that you only get 20 uniques a day. Once you're upwards of 100 RSS subscribers and/or 750 unique visitors per day, you can open up the comments and see light activity. Comments are often how tech-savvy new visitors judge the popularity of a site (and thus, its worth), so play to your strengths and keep your obscurity private.
-
Don't Jump on the Bandwagon
Some memes are worthy of being talked about by every blogger in the space, but most aren't. Just because there's huge news in your industry or niche DOES NOT mean you need to be covering it, or even mentioning it (though it can be valuable to link to it as an aside, just to integrate a shared experience into your unique content). Many of the best blogs online DO talk about the big trends - this is because they're already popular, established and are counted on to be a source of news for the community. If you're launching a new blog, you need to show people in your space that you can offer something unique, different and valuable - not just the same story from your point of view. This is less important in spaces where there are very few bloggers and little online coverage and much more in spaces that are overwhelmed with blogs (like search, or anything else tech-related).
-
Link Intelligently
When you link out in your blog posts, use convention where applicable and creativity when warranted, but be aware of how the links you serve are part of the content you provide. Not every issue you discuss or site you mention needs a link, but there's a fine line between overlinking and underlinking. The best advice I can give is to think of the post from the standpoint of a relatively uninformed reader. If you mention Wikipedia, everyone is familiar and no link is required. If you mention a specific page at Wikipedia, a link is necessary and important. Also, be aware that quoting other bloggers or online sources (or even discussing their ideas) without linking to them is considered bad etiquette and can earn you scorn that could cost you links from those sources in the future. It's almost always better to be over-generous with links than under-generous. And link condoms? Only use them when you're linking to something you find truly distasteful or have serious apprehension about.
-
Invite Guest Bloggers
Asking a well known personality in your niche to contribute a short blog on their subject of expertise is a great way to grow the value and reach of your blog. You not only flatter the person by acknowledging their celebrity, you nearly guarantee yourself a link or at least an association with a brand that can earn you readers. Just be sure that you really are getting a quality post from someone that's as close to universally popular and admired as possible (unless you want to start playing the drama linkbait game, which I personally abhor). If you're already somewhat popular, it can often be valuable to look outside your space and bring in guest authors who have a very unique angle or subject matter to help spice up your focus. One note about guest bloggers - make sure they agree to have their work edited by you before it's posted. A disagreement on this subject after the fact can have negative ramifications.
-
Eschew Advertising (Until You're Popular)
I hate AdSense on blogs. Usually, I ignore it, but I also cast a sharp eye towards the quality of the posts and professionalism of the content when I see AdSense. That's not to say that contextual advertising can't work well in some blogs, but it needs to be well integrated into the design and layout to help defer criticism. Don't get me wrong - it's unfair to judge a blog by its cover (or, in this case, its ads), but spend a lot of time surfing blogs and you'll have the same impression - low quality blogs run AdSense and many high quality ones don't. I always recommend that whether personal or professional, you wait until your blog has achieved a level of success before you start advertising. Ads, whether they're sponsorships, banners, contextual or other, tend to have a direct, negative impact on the number of readers who subscribe, add to favorites and link - you definitely don't want that limitation while you're still trying to get established.
-
Go Beyond Text in Your Posts
Blogs that contain nothing but line after line of text are more difficult to read and less consistently interesting than those that offer images, interactive elements, the occasional multimedia content and some clever charts & graphs. Even if you're having a tough time with non-text content, think about how you can format the text using blockquotes, indentation, bullet points, etc. to create a more visually appealing and digestible block of content.
-
Cover Topics that Need Attention
In every niche, there are certain topics and questions that are frequently asked or pondered, but rarely have definitive answers. While this recommendation applies to nearly every content-based site, it's particularly easy to leverage with a blog. If everyone in the online Nascar forums is wondering about the components and cost of an average Nascar vehicle - give it to them. If the online stock trading industry is rife with questions about the best performing stocks after a terrorist threat, your path is clear. Spend the time and effort to research, document and deliver and you're virtually guaranteed link-worthy content that will attract new visitors and subscribers.
-
Pay Attention to Your Analytics
Visitor tracking software can tell you which posts your audience likes best, which ones don't get viewed and how the search engines are delivering traffic. Use these clues to react and improve your strategies. Feedburner is great for RSS and I'm a personal fan of Indextools. Consider adding action tracking to your blog, so you can see what sources of traffic are bringing the best quality visitors (in terms of time spent on the site, # of page views, etc). I particularly like having the "register" link tagged for analytics so I can see what percentage of visitors from each source is interested enough to want to leave a comment or create an account.
-
Use a Human Voice
Charisma is a valuable quality, both online and off. Through a blog, it's most often judged by the voice you present to your users. People like empathy, compassion, authority and honesty. Keep these in the forefront of your mind when writing and you'll be in a good position to succeed. It's also critical that you maintain a level of humility in your blogging and stick to your roots. When users start to feel that a blog is taking itself too seriously or losing the characteristics that made it unique, they start to seek new places for content. We've certainly made mistakes (even recently) that have cost us some fans - be cautious to control not only what you say, but how you say it. Lastly - if there's a hot button issue that has you posting emotionally, temper it by letting the post sit in draft mode for an hour or two, re-reading it and considering any revisions. With the advent of feeds, once you publish, there's no going back.
-
Archive Effectively
The best archives are carefully organized into subjects and date ranges. For search traffic (particularly long tail terms), it can be best to offer the full content of every post in a category on the archive pages, but from a usability standpoint, just linking to each post is far better (possibly with a very short snippet). Balance these two issues and make the decision based on your goals. A last note on archiving - pagination in blogging can be harmful to search traffic, rather than beneficial (as you provide constantly changing, duplicate content pages). Pagination is great for users who scroll to the bottom and want to see more, though, so consider putting a "noindex" in the meta tag or in the robots.txt file to keep spiders where they belong - in the well-organized archive system.
-
Implement Smart URLs
The best URL structure for blogs is, in my opinion, as short as possible while still containing enough information to make an educated guess about the content you'll find on the page. I don't like the 10 hyphen, lengthy blog titles that are the byproduct of many CMS plugins, but they are certainly better than any dynamic parameters in the URL. Yes - I know I'm not walking the talk here, and hopefully it's something we can fix in the near future. To those who say that one dynamic parameter in the URL doesn't hurt, I'd take issue - just re-writing a ?ID=450 to /450 has improved search traffic considerably on several blogs we've worked with.
-
Reveal as Much as Possible
The blogosphere is in love with the idea of an open source world on the web. Sharing vast stores of what might ordinarily be considered private information is the rule, rather than the exception. If you can offer content that's usually private - trade secrets, pricing, contract issues, and even the occasional harmless rumor, your blog can benefit. Make a decision about what's off-limits and how far you can go and then push right up to that limit in order to see the best possible effects. Your community will reward you with links and traffic.
-
Only One Post in Twenty Can Be Linkbait
Not every post is worthy of making it to the top of Digg, Del.icio.us/popular or even a mention at some other blogs in your space. Trying to over-market every post you write will result in pushback and ultimately lead to negative opinions about your efforts. The less popular your blog is, the harder it will be to build excitement around a post, but the process of linkbait has always been trial and error - build, test, refine and re-build. Keep creating great ideas and bolstering them with lots of solid, everyday content and you'll eventually be big enough to where one out of every 20-40 posts really does become linkbait.
-
Make Effective Use of High Traffic DaysIf you do have linkbait, whether by design or by accident, make sure to capitalize. When you hit the front page of Digg, Reddit, Boing Boing, or, on a smaller scale, attract a couple hundred visitors from a bigger blog or site in your space, you need to put your best foot forward. Make sure to follow up on a high traffic time period with 2-3 high quality posts that show off your skills as a writer, your depth of understanding and let visitors know that this is content they should be sticking around to see more of. Nothing kills the potential linkbait "bump" faster than a blog whose content doesn't update for 48 hours after they've received a huge influx of visitors.
-
Create Expectations and Fulfill Them
When you're writing for your audience, your content focus, post timing and areas of interest will all become associated with your personal style. If you vary widely from that style, you risk alienating folks who've come to know you and rely on you for specific data. Thus, if you build a blog around the idea of being an analytical expert in your field, don't ignore the latest release of industry figures only to chat about an emotional issue - deliver what your readers expect of you and crunch the numbers. This applies equally well to post frequency - if your blog regularly churns out 2 posts a day, having two weeks with only 4 posts is going to have an adverse impact on traffic. That's not to say you can't take a vacation, but you need to schedule it wisely and be prepared to lose RSS subscribers and regulars. It's not fair, but it's the truth. We lose visitors every time I attend an SES conference and drop to one post every two days (note - guest bloggers and time-release posts can help here, too).
-
Build a Brand
Possibly one of the most important aspects of all in blogging is brand-building. As Zefrank noted, to be a great brand, you need to be a brand that people want to associate themselves with and a brand that people feel they derive value from being a member. Exclusivity, insider jokes, emails with regulars, the occasional cat post and references to your previous experiences can be off putting for new readers, but they're solid gold for keeping your loyal base feeling good about their brand experience with you. Be careful to stick to your brand - once you have a definition that people like and are comfortable with, it's very hard to break that mold without severe repercussions. If you're building a new blog, or building a low-traffic one, I highly recommend writing down the goals of your brand and the attributes of its identity to help remind you as you write.

Backup Data to Amazon Cloud Drive

2011-07-19T20:22:00.000-07:00

Amazon Cloud Drive is a web storage application unveiled by Amazon less than a month ago. It provides users with 5 gigabytes of storage space by default for free. Users can buy more storage space anytime as per the needs. Amazon is also promoting the Amazon Cloud Drive heavily. It is on the Amazon home page and it is hard to miss. You can use this free space to backup data to Cloud Drive.

This article will show a way to backup local folders and files to Amazon Cloud Drive.

First of all, you will need to click through the Amazon Cloud Drive link on Amazon.com and sign up for it. After that, you will also need to upload your first file using the Amazon Cloud Drive web interface. During the first upload, you will need to accept an end user agreement about the upload policy.

After that, download the Gladinet Cloud Desktop from http://www.gladinet.com and install it. If you have a 32-bit system, you can use the 32-bit installer package, otherwise, use the 64-bit package.

During the install or after the install, you can mount Amazon Cloud Drive as a virtual directory.

After that, Amazon Cloud Drive will show up under the Z: drive – My Gladinet Drive

Now there are several ways to do backup.

Method #1 – Drag and drop from local folder to Amazon Cloud Drive folder

When you do drag and drop, a dialog will show up.

By default this is a one-time copy event, however, you can change the drop down to turn it into a daily backup or automatic backup when change happens.

Method #2 – Using the Management Console

Using the Management Console, you can create mirrored backup or snapshot backup.

Mirrored backup is a simple mode of backup. What it does is simply mirroring a local folder to Amazon Cloud Drive. By default, a delete action in local folder will not be mirrored in the cloud drive so to protect against accidental deletion. There is an option in the settings that you can override that so delete is mirrored too.

Snapshot backup is a more advanced mode of backup. It will create full snapshots periodically like every 30 days and in between, there are incremental snapshots.

The steps are similar for both modes of backups.

First you select a source folder.

The next step will select the destination, such as Amazon Cloud Drive

Then select the backup schedule.

The last step will be reviewing the backup task and confirm.

Now the backup task will run in the background and backup the local source folder to Amazon Cloud Drive.

Google+ Now Available for iPhone

2011-07-19T20:08:00.000-07:00

Google+ is now available on your iPhone so you can use the social network natively on your device. It provides access to your circles, stream, profile, and more. You can upload photos, check your stream, interact with others, and do much of what you'd expect to do with Google+ on your iPhone.

Notably missing is the hang outs feature, so no video conferencing via your iDevice just yet. Hopefully that's something Google can add soon. It would be an excellent alternative to Facetime. Nonetheless, if you're into Google+ and have an iPhone, this is a great start.

UPDATE: Google+ has already released a new update! This version mainly contains performance enhancements and bug fixes, but most notably blocks unwanted huddle messages and makes it easier to attach photos to posts.

The Best Video Player for Mac

2011-07-19T20:05:00.000-07:00

The Mac offers a few options for video players, and all of them are pretty great, but VLC still gets the gold medal for video playback because it just works better than the competition.

VLC

Platform: Mac OS X
Price: Free
Download Page

Plays practically any media file you can throw at it
Very fast
It works on practically every platform, so if you like it on Mac you can download a version for pretty much any other OS you use
Converts and streams media
Robust subtitle support
Ability to boost the audio signal considerably
Video filters, like de-interlacing and cropping, for customized playback
Compensates for slow computers pretty well
Create media playlists
Tons of customizable keyboard shortcuts
Great for playing content over the network
Built-in audio equalizer

For a full list of features, go here.

VLC is a fast video player that plays just about any media file you can throw at it. That's really all you need to know. If you want to play a movie, you drop it in VLC and it'll be playing in seconds. It has a playlist feature if you want to play multiple files. You can adjust the image to brighten it up, crop it, or do pretty much whatever you need to make it work best on your computer. While VLC is a complex application, when it comes to video playback there's really nothing that handles the task quite as well.

VLC is far from perfect. While its video playback features are very good, everything else is a little convoluted. Figuring out even the simplest of features, like the Media Library, is complicated if you don't know what you're doing. The streaming media and video conversion features are also not very new user-friendly. To get into VLC's more advanced features you need to be prepared to spend some time with the manual. It makes for a great video player, but when it comes to its other features you should expect to encounter at least a little frustration.

There is a lot of competition, and much of it does many things better than VLC. The problem is that the competition just doesn't work as well when it comes to the simple task of video playback. As much as we'd like to recommend something other than VLC, as VLC has long been king of the hill, these applications still have some work to do before they take the title.

MPlayerX has long been the main competitor to VLC and it's a very good video player. The main downside is that it can get pretty laggy and out of sync with video when it can't keep up for one reason or another. It has a great interface that's very similar to Quicktime Player X and is very easy to use, but sometimes falters in its main task: playing video.

Movist is like the hybrid child of VLC and MPlayerX, which makes it a very attractive option. It makes for a great video player in theory, but in our experience its been a bit slower and buggier than other options. We do hope that through Movist's development it continues to improve and can one day trump VLC.

Perian and Quicktime Player is the simplest combination you can use. Quicktime Player is really a very good, simple movie player and Perian adds support for pretty much every media file VLC can handle. The major downside is that Perian needs to buffer the file before it can play it. When you play something in VLC, it just plays. Nonetheless, if you really like Quicktime Player but need wider format support, this is the way to go.

Lifehacker's App Directory is a new and growing directory of recommendations for the best applications and tools in a number of given categories. This week, we're focusing on video players.

Five Best Ebook Stores

2011-07-19T20:02:00.000-07:00

Five Best Ebook Stores

Ereaders are more popular than ever these days, and with many, you don't have to be locked into a specific store or manufacturer's ebook download store to make the most of the one you own. Here's a look at five of the most popular ebook stores and services.

Earlier in the week, we asked you which ebook store was your favorite, whether it's for free ebooks, the latest releases and bestsellers, or just the easiest one to use with your device. Now we're back to highlight the ones you nominated. Photo by John Blyberg.

Amazon Kindle Store

Amazon's Kindle ebook and periodical store comes with the benefit of being available for almost any device, not just the Kindle ereader. Amazon has mobile apps for iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and more, and synchronizes your available books across all of them. The bookstore itself features close to a million books, magazines, and blogs, many of which are completely free. The Kindle store also offers a wealth of new releases and bestsellers.

Google eBooks

Google's ebook store doesn't have quite the following that Amazon or Barnes and Noble does, but that's likely because there's no hardware reader directly attached to it. Google will fix that problem with the launch of the iriver Story HD, which will be the first ereader to come pre-configured with Google eBooks. For the rest of us, Google offers Android phone and tablet apps, iOS apps, apps for Sony and Barnes and Noble's Nook ereaders, and web access to their rapidly growing catalog of literature. Best of all Google partners with local bookstores and libraries to make book purchasing and borrowing available in brick-and-mortar locations.

Project Gutenberg

Before there was a Kindle or a Nook, there was Project Gutenberg, offering stacks of royalty-free, DRM-free literature to read on almost any device, completely free. The service is still going strong, and while its catalog has been eclipsed by its commercial competitors, it's still the go-to service for books and literature that are in the public domain. The service has over 36,000 completely free and DRM-free ebooks that you can read on multiple devices, and you can choose the file format that works best for you, and another 100,000 books available through the service's partners and affiliates.

Barnes and Noble Nook Store

Barnes and Noble's Nook ereader recently eclipsed the Kindle as the most purchased ereader, and the company's ebook store had something to do with that. The Nook Store sports over 2 million books, including new releases and best sellers, and also offers a host of apps for the Android-based Nook Color ereader. Don't have a Nook? Barnes and Noble has Nook apps for Mac, Windows, Android, iOS, and Blackberry, tablets included.

Kobo Books

Kobo may not have the name recognition of its bigger competitors, but the service has an impressive catalog of eBooks and apps that won't lock you down to a specific device. Kobo offers apps for Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and WebOS, including tablets. If you want a dedicated ereader, Kobo offers one. Even if you do opt for a Kobo device, you can download your books in ePub or PDF format, making them portable and DRM-free.

How to Convert PDF to Doc or Text using Google Docs

2011-07-19T19:54:00.001-07:00

Most of the time when you share documents, we use PDF, which is the most commonly used format when sharing. Unless you have an editor, you cannot edit PDF files. If you want to edit documents, the best format is doc or text. There are many PDF to Word converters, but the one of the best free tools is to use Google Docs to convert PDF files to Word or text format. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature of Google Docs lets you convert images with text into text documents. Images can be processed individually (.jpg, .png, and .gif files) or in multi-page PDF documents (.pdf).

How to Convert PDF to Doc or Text using Google Docs

Firstly you need to upload the PDF file or Image file you want to convert, open the Google Docs file upload interface.

Select the file from your PC and check the box against “Convert text from PDF or Image files”. Click on the start upload button. Once the upload is completed, you can open the file in Google docs. You might see a note that not all formatting are retained while converting from PDF or Image to Doc.

You can add you own formatting and then select the file menu-> Download as-> Word. This will save the document in Word file on to your desktop.

File size limitations

The maximum size for images (.jpg, .gif, .png) and PDF files (.pdf) is 2 MB. For PDF files, it only looks at the first 10 pages when searching for text to extract.

How to Update Twitter and Facebook Status from Google+

2011-07-19T19:52:00.000-07:00

Google+ is gaining popularity ever since its release and it has been well received by users. Now if you have shifted your networking to Google+ from Facebook and Twitter, you can still update the Twitter and Facebook status from Google+. This trick does not involve installation of any extension or add-ons, but uses the mobile functions of both these networking sites.

Update Facebook Status from Google+:

To update Facebook status from Google+, first grab your Facebook mobile email address from here. This address is unique for your account.

Now open your Google+ account and then type in your status update in the box. In the share with box, paste the Facebook mobile email address. Now share the post and you will see your Facebook status updated.

Thanks to Lifehacker for this tip.

How to Update Twitter from Google+:

Unlike Facebook, Twitter does not provide an option to update status via email, so we need to use third party tools like Twittermail. Sign in with your Twitter account and then get the email address associated with your account. Once you get the email address for your Twittermail, follow the same procedure as we did for Facebook. AviTricks has detailed post on how to publish to Twitter from Google+.

Additional Tip: You can create two circles, one for Facebook update and one for Twitter. Now add the respective email IDs to these circles. When you want to update status, add these circles to the list.

How to Block Facebook, Twitter, Email for Few Hours Daily

2011-07-19T10:03:00.000-07:00

So you want to block Facebook, Twitter, Email for a few hours so you can stop wasting time and do some productive work. Well it is a simple task if you want to block users on your computers, or want to save distraction time for yourself.

I was trying to access Facebook at a friend’s computer, and as I browsed to the website, I got this alert and Facebook was blocked.

I tried Twitter.com and same for Twitter! Same for email… my entire social interaction was blocked.

My friend chuckled and informed that he had manually blocked social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and all his email accounts so that he could concentrate on his work productivity and not waste time. The blocked urls were released after a few hours (as per his settings) when he was relaxed and free to interact on these sites.

I really like the idea. How many times do we get started to work, and get hooked to chat or Facebook on the way.

How to Block Facebook, Twitter, Email

I hope you are using the Google Chrome browser (its the best out there), and install the Website Blocker extension. Edit some settings and you can block any website for as many hours as you want.

Choose the settings wisely and the extension provides a simple interface to block websites, as many as you want and at custom times you want. You can also type an optional message.

For example, this code will block access to Facebook.com urls from 0900 to 1700 (9am-5 pm). I have been trying this for a few days and I assure you it is worth your time to use this – and get on Facebook, Twitter and email when you really want to.

How to Block Any Website for Employees / Users

This extension works well if you want to prevent access of social media sites by your employees. Simply block the sites during working hours and they will never know how to access them.

1. Hide the Website Blocker icon from the Chrome toolbar. Right click the icon and click “Hide button”

2. Disable the link from showing in the block message alert which can guide people to disable the options. Also disable the ability to edit settings from the popup alert options

Unless people really know how to browse around into Chrome settings, identify the website blocker, experiment with its settings and disable it – it should work to block websites for most people. Just keep Chrome as default and only browser on the computer.
