Do You “Like” Facebook’s Changes?

Yesterday Facebook announced some major changes at it’s annual f8 developers conference. Mark Zuckerberg took the stage to talk about the “like” button roll out, not just on Facebook itself, but across the web. In Facebook, one major change is on fan pages. So now Fan Pages are just Pages, and your fans are connections […]

Tip: Why You Should Have An Outside Admin On A Facebook Event Page

Just a quick tip that I figured out this weekend.  We’re having a Holiday Party down at Samuelson’s Diamonds and of course I created an event on Facebook for it.  This event was created off of our Samuelson’s Diamonds Fanpage.  As an admin of my fan page, I can edit the event, but there is […]

“Unfriend” is Named Word of the Year And I Invented It!

“Unfriend” was named the Word Of The Year by Oxford Dictionary.  And guess who broke it first?  That’s right, RambleOnRon will take credit for that one.  It was this blog post titled “Unfriended On Facebook – Compliment or Diss?” that got the attention of Wall Street Journal tech reporter Jessica Vascellaro.  She then interviewed me […]

Here’s What Social Networking Is All About

I never claim to be a Social Media “Evangelist” (whatever that means) like all the whako’s on twitter, but my brother-in-law, David, (who happens to be the CFO down here at Samuelson’s) got a Facebook response that really sums it up.   He posted a link to our Samuelson’s Diamonds Fan Page on his profile and […]

My Advice to Mark Zuckerberg

On another Facebook note, I’ve been following the story of Holocaust denial groups allowed on Facebook, and after the recent killing in DC at the Holocaust Museum it’s resurfaced.  Here’s a link to Brian Cuban’s open letter to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook.  I agree with Brian on this one.  Here’s my take on it.  […]

We Got Our Facebook Vanity URL

Well, the time came and went.  12AM on June 12 was the time to grab your Facebook vanity URL as fast as possible.  In 3 minutes 200,000 names were taken.  In 15 minutes it was 500,000 and now it’s in the millions.  I was not so concerned with my profile name.  I went after our […]

Moving Day is Monday, Facebook iPhone App Works

We’ve been super busy moving ALL of our stuff outta here. Vegas was very nice – Santana 3rd row was a highlight. Facebook Party and show were great too. The most productive part of the show might have been my visit to the Apple Store. My Facebook app has not loaded since I got my […]

My First Live TV Broadcast

So yesterday I had the pleasure of heading over to Blue Sky Factory for a live broadcast with my friend Greg Cangialosi.  We had a great time and talked about business, Baltimore, Facebook, music and showed some big diamonds of course.  We even had a little jam session! (about 37 minutes in)  We also set […]
