SocialOomph (formerly Tweetlater) had a major announcement today – and one that probably is causing panic among many Twitter users. Essentially, they will be discontinuing the ability to set up ‘recurring posts’ and ones with ‘spinnable text’ as this helps users violate Twitter’s Terms of Service with regards to posting duplicate content over the same [...]

Every so often Twitter runs a purge of inactive users and accounts, when it happens you will see followers drop off your profile. Even the folks at Twitter realize that it’s okay to hit unfollow, I do it all the time. Shocked? Don’t be. There is nothing wrong with clicking unfollow and in some cases [...]

Facebook fanpages or pages for business…many people use them as a support to their social media and marketing efforts. One of the biggest requests I have from clients who have hired me as their social media virtual assistant is to set up auto linking of twitter updates to fanpages.

I have kind of experimented somewhat with Twitter these past few months when I opened a second profile. When I started @timeontaskva I built my following one by one, picking people I wanted to be connected with and following them back if I made the choice. Nothing automated about it.

One of my clients – and one who is my best social media success story – recently had their Facebook fanpage disappear. No warnings, no explanation – just gone. It was a fanpage we have been working on for a few months and one that had more than 500 fans and a lot of good [...]
