Today Facebook made a simple change to make it easier to create a new event directly from your wall (on your Facebook Page or profile). It’s simple. Just click the calendar icon and fill in the details. After you’ve posted it then you’ll see a link to invite people to your event.
Remember that an event could be you came out with a new product, you opened a new store, etc. You can promote more than just events that people attend in person, but milestones or launches.
Also, if you missed it there also a link that lets you record a video directly from your laptop. You can either upload a video that you’ve already recorded or create one right from your computer. All you need is a webcam. I’ve noticed that short video updates usually get more comments.

Is This Google Ad Relevant?
As I was in my Facebook the other day this ad was showing up, and it raised the question about relevance. (and several other questions)
Would an ad like this be allowed on Google? I am still not aware of the quality scores on Facebook ads, but would you actually click on this ad? Do you really think that a girl with … two obvious features is going to help make you 10k a month? I am thinking these are very poor ads that will have a low conversion rate. Who cares if the CTR is high, its all about the conversion IMO.
I guess Facebook just wants to cash in because I think these ads are crap. Look, I get it – sex sells, but why would you waste money on these kind of ads? They would be better off, and probably make more money if they had a page to other “Google Girls” and had adsense on the page with links to a contest, or “Submit your Google Girl pictures here?”

I have a neighbor that is an amazing web developer and is so immersed in what he does, that until recently (after chatting with me) I rarely saw him do anything with social networks. A few months ago I got him on Twitter, taught him the ropes, and he experienced immediate power and success with it. This was a great testimony to him because when I was first explaining Twitter to him I could tell he was scratching his head saying “huh? micro-blogging? powerful? WTF??”
I am amazed that more web designers and developers are not more familiar with the power of social networks – especially Facebook. I love Facebook because people are trying to find YOU, they want to see what YOU are doing and what YOU are up to. If you have your profile set up correctly, using the tools Facebook gives you to add RSS feeds to your profile etc. the people who are trying to find information about YOU will do just that, and that is why you need a Facebook page! It is the easiest sell you will ever make.
