Analyze and Enhance Your Facebook Experience with Wisdom

If you’re still active on your Facebook account and looking for a great way to stay on top of things with your friends, you’ll love Wisdom. Just like the name implies, the app gives you in-depth “wisdom” about yourself and your friends. It’s kind of like an analytics tool for your Facebook account because you get to see statistics and insights that you won’t find anywhere else. Also it lets you sort through all of the junk (like game notifications, videos, images, etc) and get to what is really important – the actual things that your friends are saying via status updates.


So if you want to know more about what your friends are saying and what they’re interested in, try out Wisdom!


Wisdom for Facebook - News Feed


The feed is where you can see all status updates at a glance and then filter them by popularity and type (based on what they’re referring to). This way you can see what kind of mood people are in, who’s in love, what’s going on with the health of your friends, who’s traveling, and more! You can also see the date posted, number of comments, and number of likes. Each status will have a corresponding icon such as a star (as pictured above), smiley face, heart, briefcase, etc – based on the topic.


Unfortunately, I was unable to really experience the rest of the app since it takes 24 hours to complete the reports needed for these areas. However, I can give a general idea of what each section is for.

This section gives you a great overview of who you’re friends with on Facebook. Wisdom gives you a list of all of your friends along with their last status updates. This gives you a chance to quickly see what each of your friends is up to. You can also filter this section by age, gender, relationship status, and location. Lastly, each friend will have a rating based on their Facebook activity, popularity, communication, influence, and cheer.


If you’re interested in what others are saying to your friends, then you’ll love this section. You can basically see everything that your friends are chatting about with others from a single location (it’s almost like spying). “That is, everything except repetitive ‘happy birthday’ posts.”

Wisdom uses your friends’ “likes” to show you the most popular and trending interests across sports, entertainment, and nightlife. So you can see things like what artists your friends like the most, the best places to hangout, the most popular movies among your friends, etc.


Here you’ll be able to see the most popular check-in locations and the top cities and hometowns among your friends. You’ll also get demographic information for each place listed.

As expected, you can see all of the events that your friends are attending and see how many others will be there too. Wisdom will also recommend events to you based on the number of friends attending.


Finally, we have the about me section will will, of course, show you information about yourself and track your communications across Facebook.


Wisdom is currently available via Facebook.com as well as an iOS app available for both the iPhone/iPod Touch and the iPad. The only downside is that you have to wait 24 hours to see any other section besides the news feed. From the description and screenshots on the Wisdom website, it definitely looks promising; so let’s hope that those sections do not disappoint once they are available.

An Interesting Way Of Losing Subscribers

How To Annoy Your ReadersIn order to find the latest and great themes and plugins for my blog WordPress Mods, I spend a lot of time reading announcements from theme and plugin developers.


Whilst reading a review of a plugin today I saw a comment from someone promoting their own website called WP Power Plugins. Whenever I find a new plugin developers website I check out all of their plugins to see if any are worth testing and reviewing on my blog. Unfortunately, the blog owner made it difficult to do so.


For some reason the blog owner has placed a box that requests a vote via Facebook or Twitter before you can proceed. It doesn’t work like the newsletter pop ups you see on many blogs, which can be closed easily by clicking away from the ad. Instead, the blog owner has stopped everyone from viewing their website unless they register a vote via Facebook or Twitter.


This has to be one of the stupidest thing I have ever see a blog owner do. It’s obtrusive, counter productive and will drive away existing and potential subscribers. All bloggers strive for more subscribers and social media votes however there is a right way and wrong way of doing things. We need to encourage visitors to subscribe to your blog or Facebook page; we shouldn’t force them.


Remember, don’t take your readers for granted. Even the most loyal readers will unsubscribe and stop visiting your blog if you start frustrating them by forcing them to increase social media votes.


Have you come across any other techniques like this from a blogger?

Facebook vs. Google+: All The Latest Updates In The Battle To Win YOU Over

 

There arguments day in and out about these two Social Network Giants thus Facebook and Google+. In order to know who is really making it happen, one need to critically analyze the ins and outs of these two sites before you can stand out bold and make your decision.


Making names is not the point but the fact that the end users or registered members benefiting most are what matters. After all it said that empty vessels make the most noise. Let us now consider, compare and contrast the various parties so that we can clearly see who is making it the most.


First and foremost, we will go into Google+ and verify what is really going on. The important upgrades they have and how useful it is to the Google+ user.


Google plus has this sort of open Application Programming Interface (API). This allows programmers or developers all over the world to come together. It thus has this sort of Open Source concept that incorporates various ideas. There is a saying that two heads are better than one and this is a plus to Google+.


Google+ incorporates the greatest search engine ever. There is no doubt that Google search engine is the best.  Most internet users use this link; http://www.google.com as their test site when they are checking for internet connectivity. In Google+, the Google search engine is included and there is no need to move out of Google plus to make a search.


Moreover, Google+ has a new feature or what I call a major upgrade or update. Google+ can make video calls on mobile and other smart devices and Google+ has been added into Google Application so see how easy it is to access Google+


On the other hand let us look at Facebook, how well it is accepted worldwide and the major updates it has gone through.


Facebook is now having a lot of buttons than it used to have earlier on. With this innovation, with just a click of a button, users are able to access a lot of information at a go. The news feed option in facebook is now concentrated at one location. All your News is now located in one place which includes top stories, and recent stories arranged in the order they were posted.


Facebook has also involved a video by going into partnership with Skype to make them dream happen. Facebook also has this new Subscribe button that allows you to follow people who are not even your friends. Facebook now automatically creates a link and suggest the link for you base on the group you interact with. All the same you still have the option of editing the list.


From the above analogy one can take up the two weigh them base on your own expectations and come out with which is more beneficial.  Google is accepted all over and Google+ is gradually making head way into the Social Media industry.


We are yet to see who makes the most noise and who is really working.
