How to Create a Fantastic Facebook Page

Facebook Page? Most people only have Facebook accounts. That's alright. It's sufficient to develop a social network. A Facebook Page is something else.

Powerful graphics. You want a Facebook Page like this?!

Businesses and personalities need a Facebook Page. It's almost similar to a standard Facebook account, except for a few details that matter.

For example, you 'Like' a Facebook Page. But you 'Add as Friend' a person's account. You can have at most 5,000 Facebook Friends. But you can have unlimited number of 'Fans' in a Facebook Page.

How to Spice Up Your Online Experience with iGoogle

Not everybody knows iGoogle. Much less know what iGoogle can do to spice up your online experience. But those who use iGoogle are smiling brightly and widely for having an equivalent of their phone's dashboard on their computer screen.

iGoogle can be your portal or grand entrance to the online world

What iGoogle basically does is put into one page all the links and gadgets that you normally use and need. Then you can access that page from whatever computer you may find yourself with. Those who are in front of the computer all the time would know how valuable that page could be.

In fact, it is now a pain for me not to have an iGoogle page.

How to Create a Useful Expense List

"Where did my money go?" Doesn't the question sound familiar? Someone received a big sum from a long lost uncle. After a time, he desperately asked, "Gosh, where did that money go?"

Bookkeeping isn't just for accountants. It is for everyone who handles money. That means you and me, as well as every home or project outside of home.

The truth is, we all ask the question. How much salary have we received last year? Where have we spent all those money? When I was single, I recorded every expense I could record for three straight years, thanks to a simple system that I used in Excel.

How to Create an Amortization Calculator

Amortization -- strange word? If so, then perhaps you haven't gone to bank yet to secure a loan, whether for a car or for a house. Amortization is what you pay the bank monthly for a fixed period. It is calculated based on the amount you borrow, the interest rate and the length of time you agree to repay the entire loan.

The last thing you would want to do is to leave all the computation to the bank. A sage's advise would be for you to know your numbers first before even thinking of signing on the dotted line. With Excel you can easily do that.

How to Organize an Event Using Google Calendar

Google Calendar can help you much more than you may realize. They're busy. You're busy. You don't have a secretary. How on earth would you invite and track confirmations to your personal or business event?

Google Calendar allows you to send invitations like this that automatically track confirmations. This is best when all you have are email addresses and not everyone is into social media.

Many people use event scheduling in Facebook, which is cool. When everyone is into Facebook, that's a great gadget to use. But what if all you have are email addresses?

How to Create Online Surveys Using Google Docs

Until recently, the average internet user has to do surveys the brick-and-mortar way. A lot of times, email is used to do the survey. Once the survey results come back, consolidation work is no different from summarizing stacks of paper.

Google has cut all the crap by introducing Forms in Google Docs. You would not believe it's that easy. In fact, you may have filled up such form a few days ago on a site you visited, without realizing it.

How to Create and Share Documents in Google Docs

I've been using Gmail for so long now. But familiarity with widely used office software has led me for several months to miss out on a great office option that has been staring at me for so long. It's Google Docs, of course.

When I said that the free online office was literally staring at me the whole time, I literally meant it.

Tired of having to pay for the most updated offline office version? Try Google Docs and see how much money and headaches you can save yourself from. I am not kidding. Google is not paying me for this (I wish they would).

How to Update Multiple Social Media in a Stroke with Ping.fm

If you have multiple social networks, you're absolutely normal. I personally have Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google Buzz, Google Talk and Flickr, among a few others. Ping.fm allows some or all of them with a single stroke.

These are a few of the social media networks that a person may maintain. If you have much more than these I wouldn't be surprised :)

Truly it can be a pain to update all of them with the same single message five times a day. One may think that frequency is amusing. Those who are in business may find that insufficient. It's why ping.fm is a great option one may explore.

How to Promote Your Blog Through Facebook

Statistics as of December 2010 count the number of Facebook users around the world at around 500 million. Folks that's 25% of the total estimated number of internet users worldwide. That's a pretty big number, isn't it?

Approximately 25% of the world's internet users are in Facebook as of December 2010

Now you stop wondering why many websites have Facebook's 'Like' button on them. That include this website, see?

Google Buzz - How to Activate and Promote Your Account

Not a few have Gmail accounts, yet so few are aware of Google Buzz. With so many Gmail account holders, this is a social media platform that can be explored. After all, it's FREE.

Furthermore, if you have a Gmail account you don't need to create Google Buzz. You just need to activate it.

Fret not. The step-by-step slides in this post is a friendly guide for anyone from age 13 to 80.

Jump! And the Net Will Appear

"Jump! And the Net Will Appear" -- That's the title of a book I read a few years back in time. It's also a title that roughly describes what I just went through the last two months. That explains a pause in my posting.

"Star Jump" by Stuart Anthony

To cut my recent story short, I have seen that a business venture that I have spent time on has not been working. It has been either that the business concept has been the problem, or our marketing approach has failed or perhaps I simply wasn't suited for it. I don't know. I have simply acknowledged that I need to move on.
