Social media is perhaps the biggest tool in marketing your site through networking and customer interaction.  In order to make Perceptive OBP an even more effective online business platform, we have integrated three new social media modules as part of our recent updates. 

Two of the largest, most active social networking sites include Facebook and Twitter, so for these first three social media modules, that's where we've placed our efforts.  Perceptive OBP's newest social media modules include:

• Facebook Likes
• Facebook Comments
• Twitter Tweets

Each of these modules is designed to increase your visibility and to promote social media sharing across your community, thus boosting your online presence.

The Facebook Likes module simply adds a "Like" button to your web pages, templates, blogs, web apps, and bookings.  When a customer "likes" an article, blog post, or page on your site, it show on his or her Facebook page, effectively sharing the site with his or her entire social network.  One click can lead to visibility to hundreds, even thousands, of potential customers.

Facebook Comments is a social media module which further harnesses the power of Facebook as a leading social networking tool.  While other programs allow commenting on your posts, Facebook Comments offers some unique benefits:

• Comments are socially viral
• Allows for inline moderation of comments
• Reduction of trolling and spamming with Facebook verified real identities
• Captcha not required
• Automatic sign-in
• Follow-up notification
• User profile picture

The Facebook Comments module allows for customer ease of use as well as improvement of admin interaction and increased social media presence.

The third social media module provided by Perceptive OBP is the Twitter Tweets module.  This module, much like the Facebook Likes module, allows users to share your content across the social media network with a simple click.  With Twitter Tweets, your content can be re-tweeted infinitely among Twitter's 100 million active users and 400 million monthly visitors.

Perceptive OBP is developed for your online success.  With the addition of new features including social media modules, we allow you to further your online presence and engage with millions of prospective clients and customers through the facilitation of social networking.

I've seen a lot of complaints about the new look of Facebook.  There's even 3 large Facebook Groups against the new layout with almost 5 million members between them (could be some duplicate members - I didn't check).  If you visit any of these groups, almost everyone is demanding that Facebook change it back.  Well, the good news is that, for the most part, you can change it back yourself.  If you want to get away from the confusing News Feeds and get back to your beloved Status Updates, check out this very short video - this is pretty simple :



So to sum it up, go to your Facebook Home page, click "more" at the bottom of the left menu, drag "status updates" to the top of the list, and then click "status updates".  Now things are pretty much back to the way they were and you can enjoy Facebook like you did before.

UPDATED:

After some input, it turns out the solution above may not be the best.  If Status Updates is the default, you don't see links, images and video.  Therefore, it might be best to make Live Feeds your default.  The problem with the feeds is that they limit the number of friends they show posts for by default.  The good news is that you can change this as well.  Again, here's a video to show how this is done:



To recap,

1. click more on the left menu
2. drag "news feeds" to the top (if it's not already)
3. click "live feed" above your content if "news feed" is currently the default
4. scroll to the bottom of the page and click edit option
5. replace the number of friends with 5000 (the maximum allowed)
6. click save. 

This should be more like the Facebook most of you are used to.
