Blogs – How to enter a Link in your Blog Post
Posted by Kathy Colaiacovo on July 27, 2010 · Leave a Comment
During my training sessions with clients, many times I find we have to refresh on how to make a link in their blog posts. They have written their content and in it want to make reference an outside website. It is something that many people find hard to remember how to do. So, I thought [...]

Say No to Spam
Posted by Kathy Colaiacovo on October 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Personally I can’t wait for the spammers to tire of Twitter. It is most annoying looking at tweets that have a link and a bunch of usernames…and nothing else of value to anyone at all. Do these users really think people are that gullible? That we actually hit any of these links? I don’t click [...]

Social Media overload… You can keep your inbox under control
Posted by Kathy Colaiacovo on September 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Well… I got a glimpse of inbox chaos this week. Something happened and my facebook notifications were changed. A glitch I suppose, but the glitch meant I started getting email notifications when anyone friended me, wrote on my wall, made a comment, sent me a message…. You get the picture. My inbox was jammed full [...]

It's okay to click unfollow

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 [...]

Twitter and posting to your Fanpage
Posted by Kathy Colaiacovo on September 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment
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. Until this past week there was [...]

Facebook Fanpages… usernames open
Posted by Kathy Colaiacovo on September 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment
A few notes came through the grapevine lately that Fanpages could now book their user names without the minimum requirement of 100 fans. Seems the limit has now gone down to 25 again, the original limit set. Read this post from July to understand more about how to set your fanpage username. If you have [...]

Twitter Followers… an interesting trend
Posted by Kathy Colaiacovo on September 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment
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. With @mytwitrva I started it [...]

Social Media Revolution… does it need some Evolution?
Posted by Kathy Colaiacovo on September 1, 2009 · 5 Comments
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 [...]

She is very successful with Facebook, Twitter and [...]

What's on your Twitter wish list?
Posted by Kathy Colaiacovo on August 10, 2009 · 1 Comment
Personally the biggest item on my list is an easy way to Retweet someone’s fantastic post. Quickly, easily and directly in Twitter. I find it odd that an application that discusses and has rules regarding Reposting others’ content, does not make it easy to do so. One of the hardest things I have to teach [...]
