Simple Rules in Twitter, Google+ and Facebook

Few days back i got an invitation an I created a Goolge+ account. I did it when Facebook came up and when twitter came up too. I was thinking whats so different in Google+ other than in Facebook. I figured three different sharing systems work in all three networks i just mentioned.

Twitter : You can follow any person (Person X). What ever person X share can be seen for all his/her followers. But X do not see any thing that his/her followers do. This is best for people who are like actors, scientists, and so on.

Google+ : If you add some person into your circle, the added person can see your content. So this is the absolute opposite of Twitter. So this is good for normal people to keep informing others. But you cant see what he/she is up to by adding them into a circle. They need to add you into a circle if they want to share things.

Facebook : This is a combination of both Twitter and Google+. When you add a friend and friend accepts his/her friend request you can see their posts and friend can see your posts. Still you can set security levels and sharing levels. But default is sharing happens in both ways.


I have a feeling now its time for me to move from Facebook to Google+. But still "Mark Zuckerberg" will be one of my favorites.

Add Suggest to Friends box in your Custom Facebook Welcome Page ( using FBML )

Before you start coding with FBML i will explain how to create a new landing tab which can be coded with FBML. In Facebook application list there is an application called "Static FBML". As the first step you need to visit there and click "Add to my Page". Then it will pop a list of Pages where you are the admin of. Select it and proceed.
Next get into your fan page. And try to add a new tab to your fan page. The "Static FBML" will appear there as an option. It will be automatically named as "Static FBML". Now visit back to your wall (Fan Page's Wall) and click "Edit Page". Then when you scroll down this page you can see the application named "Static FBML". Click Edit. Then it will prompt you a very simple text editor. So set the title as you wish. And insert the code below. Your own code can replace the text in CAPS.
<fb:request-form
method="post"
action="/index.php"
type="NAME OF YOUR FAN PAGE"
invite="true"
content="WHAT EVER YOU LIKE TO SAY
<fb:req-choice url='URL OF YOUR FAN PAGE' label='WHAT EVER' /> ">
<fb:multi-friend-selector actiontext="ANY HEADING YOU LIKE"
rows="3"
max=35 
showborder="true" 
cols="2"/>
</fb:request-form>
So for my fan page i used the following code.

method="post"
action="/index.php"
type="Travel Sri Lanka"
invite="true"
content="Please Join Facebook fan Page Travel Sri Lanka  "> 


Keep in mind: as soon as you finish editing it may not work. You might see the friends list empty. Just log off from your Facebook and try may be after 6 hrs. Then it works :). Here is my fan page with an additional photo. you can check it here.
