There has been a lot of buzz recently about the changes that are slowly rolling out across Facebook and for good reason. I’ve been testing it all out through my developer account and it’s going to wildly change the way we all interact with the site.

Our profiles will become a scrapbook of our lives, online and off. The stream is becoming a kind of “match of the day” for our friends daily lifes. And in the new sidebar the most intense data stream seen yet of your friends and families goings on…

Whilst there are issues with it’s implementation in the short run, bugs that be need to be stamped out, and a lot of user shock and dismay to work through. None can sell it so well, and explain it’s true power, than the infamous Don Draper of 60s based ad show ‘Mad Men’.

Enjoy…

If you want to get earn money, get free pizzas and more, simply by sharing videos on Facebook then BuzzSeed is for you. It’s an interesting new site that hooks you up with media agencies looking to spread things such as film trailers or festival maps around social networks and most importantly they are willing to pay!

Now bearing in mind this is a relatively new site, they only have a few offers at any one time but in the past month or so, I’ve already got two Dominos pizza vouchers, £10 cash and have a £25 “Clean Start” toiletries kit on the way all with just a few Facebook posts a month that took less than a minute each. They also hold regular competitions for members where you can will cool new gadgets and things such as iPads or laptops (a friend of mine recently even won 2 VIP tickets to Beach Break live festival in Wales!).

It’s an interesting system and a lot easier than some of the more basic paid survey sites which make you jump through seemingly endless hoops just to get a free chocolate bar or something. So if you are a student on summer break or even if you just have some spare time then BuzzSeed is a great way to pass a few minutes by getting first access to film trailers for films such as The Hangover 2 and earning yourself a few extra goodies along the way.

This has been a crazy week where I’ve been working on many things across the web. Just thought I’d share a quick post with you, my loyal blog reader, focusing on some of the highlights that I’ve come across this week online. Some of these links are educational, some are promotional and some simply for fun One thing is for sure though, every one is worth a visit!

1. @LeaWoodward has updated her Location Independent Business Course offerings and you can now get access for as little as $67. You can take a look at my review of the LIP course here and purchase the LIP course here.
2. @DeanHunt introduced me to one of the cutest kittens in the world. Tell me you don’t love cats after that!
3. @WishlistProduct have announced that they will be offering Membership Site Training and a full certification course for service providers, check out Wishlist Member Training Here.
4. I’ve been learning about stage hypnosis from my recent work with @BlairRobertson. You can check out an amusing clip from one of his Student Hypnosis Shows here.
5. Dan Kennedy is releasing the last few copies (Update 28th November: Only 11 copies left! ) of his Information Millionaires Boot Camp for an extremely discounted price. Check out his Black Friday Offer Here.
6. I recently discovered the wonders of HubPages and have started to create a few Hubs. My Latest Hub? How to Live Like James Bond in Real Life!
7. Recently created a lifestream for my root domain so you can always stay up to date with all my latest online work. Realised that I should probably start utilising Facebook properly as well so you may want to Join my Fan Page here. It’s a little lonely right now but with a few new systems I have in place it should soon start to fill up with some great business, marketing and lifestyle design related content.

So there you have it, seven days, seven links… Best wishes to all my American contacts who emailed/tweeted regarding ThanksGiving and hope you all enjoyed Black Friday. It’s now time to seriously think about the next adventure; acquiring an epic christmas tree and advent calender…

Speak Soon!

Earlier this week Facebook announced that vanity URLs were finally being released to owners of both, Facebook Profiles & Facebook Pages. With less than 10 hours until their release I thought that now was an opportune time to inform anybody that was still unaware or had started to forget.

What is a Vanity URL?

Simply put it’s a web address that describes the content of a link more than a generic code.

http://www.facebook.com/username – Vanity URL

http://www.facebook.com/516036873 – Standard URL

The launch has been highly anticipated and as such it’s expected that the most common and desired names will be gone in the first few minutes. It’s likely that thousands of social media addicts and business people across the globe will be anxiously awaiting the launch to stake there claim so it’s important that you are ready and waiting if you want to guarantee your selection.

In order to stop people from collecting names, you will have to be a member of Facebook already if you want to claim your URL in the morning. Similarly if your Fan Page has less than 1000 fans you will most likely need to wait a little while before being able to register a vanity URL.

So What Next?

If you’ve met the criteria described above, all you have to do is head over to the launch page at 5:01 AM (GMT) and claim your exclusive vanity URL.

PLEASE NOTE: Once it’s registered this is your URL for life so make sure you choose yourself a good one!
