I've had my iMac for probably 3 years now, and I have to say I'm still not really a "Mac Person" like so many are.  I love how reliable it is, but a lot of things annoy me about it-- why can't I make a window larger by dragging the top left corner? , for example. 

And so my screen saver is whatever I selected the first time I setup my Mac.  It scans all the photos on my computer and displays them as a slideshow, and it's always fun to watch it, but occasionally I see a photo I would like find and email or post on Facebook.  I don't have a good way to find a photo like that. 

One way I do that, though, is to use the iPhoto "Faces" feature, which lets you tag photos (like you do on Facebook), and then it goes out and tries to find photos of that same person.    Here's what it looks like on the Faces home page:

So you want to create your own background image for your twitter account, but don’t know where to start. Been there!

What’s the right size? Should it be a gradient, a photo, a logo, etc.? Should it have words? How do you avoid it looking perfect on a small screen, but screwed up on big screen, or vice versa?

Well we have a few helpful tips for you based on our experience!

1) Setting up the main background

I was lead to believe that the image should be 2560 x 1600 (about 35 x 22 inches).. WAY too big!  Then I read somewhere that recommended about 14.5 x 11 inches, still not right! After making my own measurements based on the inaccuracy of the first images, I came to the conclusion:

Perfect image size: 1700 x 900

That’s about 24” wide by 12” tall. It gives enough breathing room for large-screen monitors, showing up perfectly on both my large screen pc at home and my small screened MacBook.

We want to keep the main background simple. If you have too much going on, your image is likely to go over 800K and you won’t be able to upload it to Twitter.

 

Following up on a February promise, Facebook has organized page administrators into five different levels of permission.   The five different levels are as follows:

Insights Analyst.  This person can view insights and do nothing else.

Advertiser.  This person can view insights and create ads.

Moderator.  In addition to viewing insights and creating ads, the Moderator can also send messages as the page and respond/delete comments.

Content Creator.  This person has all the power of a Moderator and can also create posts as the page, edit the page and add applications.

Manager.  This person can do all of the above and can manage admin roles.

Note:  All admins start out as managers by default.  After that, roles can be assigned and power limited.

Yesterday I told you that you should get a Google+ page.  I told you I decided my customers need a Google+ page.  They are kicking and screaming, but I am taking them there anyway.

Today, I'll tell you why.

I set up a Google+ page for Dry Clean Delivery Inc. yesterday afternoon, and around 8:00 this morning, I posted a link to them on my personal Google+ page, mentioning their name in my post and linking to their spanking new Google+ page.

By 8:41, a stranger had posted on my comment with a question.

At 12:30 pm, I Googled "dry clean delivery, charlotte." In the search results, Dry Clean Delivery Inc. was the first paid link.  There were two more paid links. 

The very first UNPAID organic search result, was Dry Clean Delivery Inc.
