Geek Meee!!!

Here’s how to do it:

1. Log into Facebook

2. Enable developer mode, if you haven’t already. To do this, type “developer” into the Facebook search box, click the first result (it should be an app made by Facebook with a few hundred thousand users), and add the app.

3. Jump into the developer app (if Facebook doesn’t put you there automatically, it should be in your left-hand tool bar)

4. Create a new app (don’t worry — you wont actually be submitting this for anyone else to see/use). Give your shiny new app any display name and namespace you see fit. Read through and agree to the Platform Privacy agreement. This is the step you need to be verified for.

5. Ensure you’re in your new app’s main settings screen. You should see your app’s name near the top of the page

6. Look for the “Open Graph” header, and click the “Get Started using open graph” link.

Create a test action for your app, like “read” a “book”, or “eat” a “sandwich”

7. This should drop you into an action type configuration page. Change a few of the default settings (I changed the past tense of “read” to “redd” — again, only you can see this unless you try and submit your application to the public directory), and click through all three pages of settings

8. Wait 2-3 minutes

9. Go back to your Facebook homescreen. An invite to try Timeline should be waiting at the top of the page

And you’re done! We’ve seen this work quite a few times now, so it should work without a hitch for just about anyone.

This is a tutorial on how to create a contact form using JotForm.

Getting Started with JotForm

There is a free option and a paid option. Both have the same features, but the paid option allows more forms, more submissions, etc. Here's a comparison chart.

Getting Started with JotForm

• Set up account (free or paid);


• Click New Form
  
  
  
  You can create a form from scratch ("Blank Form"), select a form template (for this tutorial I chose "Contact Us"), or import a form from another website or another form previously created on JotForm. After making your selection, click "Continue"...


• "Contact Us" Template
  
  Assuming, for the purposes of this tutorial, you chose "Contact Us," you'll see it has: Name (separate first and last name fields), Email, Message.


• Add Drop Down (aka Pulldown Select)
  
  
  
  To add your drop-down options, click the small icon to the right of the pulldown box


• Add Radio Button
  
  Enter the question, then click the individual options to edit:
  


• Editing Properties (the gear icon)
  
  
  You can change the size of the field, or change its order in the form (which can also do by clicking and dragging), or delete or duplicate the question.


• Add a Checkbox
  
  The Checkbox configuration options are the same as the Radio Buttons:
  
  


• Toolbar
  
  The toolbar options change depending on which field you're editing. This is the main toolbar for "Form Style":
  
  


• Themes - Attractive one-click theming options. I chose the "Default" theme for its simplicity.


• Clean up
  
  I got rid of the header and just kept the form.

JotForm Setup & Share

After you have created your form, you then need to set some options for the email that is sent with the form data, as well as generate the code you will need to insert into your Static FBML tab.

Social Media is about conversation with community. The world is no more under a single brand, we have multiple brands and multiple communities. All thanks to the emerging Internet Society. Even businesses are starting to become a niche player in the Internet. People are producing goods and services based on specific interests, increasing the importance of community.

But how do you track community in the Internet. Basically, there are many kinds of community spread over different platform. Forums, Facebook Groups, Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, blogs and so on. But there is one platform which somehow has the potential of giving information about all these groups, and it is twitter.

Twitter has become an omnipresent channel for everything. Where ever you go, you will always find communities having their own Twitter profile. This makes Twitter an interesting platform for community hunting. But there are very few platforms that allows you to do so.

Some of the essentials of tracking community in Twitter are :

1. Finding especial keywords related to community.

2. Finding hastags (#design, #tech) for the community.

The keywords research is an important part of community hunting, similar to keywords research for Search Engine Optimization.

There are many applications that will allow you to track keywords but there are very few that allows you to follow targeted people. Buzzom Premium provides an efficient system to target people and track down communities.

Buzzom Premium is a paid based Social Media application which has many features to it. You can track your tweets, download data, manage DM, Track your growth, create campaigns and track your brand.

Among these, a section under Manage Network-> Keyword Based Follow is the one that is most helpful for your community search.

Log on to the system and click on Manage Network. In the keyword section, you can add keywords based on criteria like TweetBased, Location Based and Bio Based.

TweetBased Search allows you to search and follow people based on what they are talking about.

Location Based allows you to search and follow people based on where they are located.

Bio Based allows you to search and follow people based on what they have written on their bio.

Once, keywords are saved the system continuously monitors the network and follows people. This gives you the benefit of following people based on your interest and cause.

You can regularly check the system to see your new following.

For more advance criteria buzzom premium allows you to unfollow people based on what they are tweeting about. This adds extra layer of criteria and helps you refine your network.

I hope this post has helped you understand how to do community search in the Twitter Network. If you have any more suggestion, please drop by the comments.

In professional web design circles, the usability testing session has become an essential component of any major project. Similar to focus groups in brand development and product launches, usability testing offers a rare opportunity to receive feedback from the very people the website is aimed at - before it's too late to do anything about it.
