Facebook’s New Timeline gives you boxes for your “Favorite” Apps at the top of your profile.

What’s cool is that you can add, swap or remove apps!

I wasn’t too fond of the “Maps” app, so I was more than excited to remove it. The new “Maps” app is basically a map of everywhere you’ve posted from. Since I don’t travel as much anymore, most of my posts are from home/work. So there’s no need to have this huge DOT over Los Angeles. That’s just silly and pointless. Ha!

To Add, Swap or Remove a Favorite App:

[learn_more caption="Step #1" state="open"]Click on the up arrow that’s next to your Favorite’s section – to the far right. This will bring up a menu with options.
[/learn_more]

[learn_more caption="Step #2" state="close"]If you hover over an empty box, a “+” sign will appear. If you click on a “+” sign over an empty box, you can “Choose an app to place” in the empty box.
[/learn_more]

[learn_more caption="Step #3" state="close"]If you click the edit icon for an app, you’re given a choice to either “Remove [the app] from Favorites”, or “Swap position with” another app.[/learn_more]

I like the freedom of deciding what my favorites are.
I’m sure you will too.

Facebook’s Latest Update allows users to view the up-to-the-second activity of friends that they are subscribed to in a “Ticker”.

Some of the information is cool, but some things you probably don’t care too much about. I mean, who wants to be a stalker? That’s not sexy.

To remove a particular users “Comments and Likes” from your Facebook Ticker, here’s how:

[learn_more caption="Step #1" state="open"] Move your cursor over your friend’s name; a box will load.[/learn_more]

[learn_more caption="Step #2" state="close"] Move your cursor over the “Subscribed” tab.

[/learn_more]

[learn_more caption="Step #3" state="close"] Un-check the “Comments and Likes” link.[/learn_more]

Your Facebook Ticker will be a lot cleaner once you go through all of your friends.

However, if you’re like me, and you have way too many friends that you’ll need to do this with, you’ll probably just ignore the new Facebook Ticker all-together. *wink*

Around the same time Facebook made some major updates, Pandora made some as well.

You probably weren’t paying attention because you were too busy b*tching about Facebook. *smirk*

The ”New Pandora” boasts the same personalized radio experience you’ve enjoyed for years, wrapped in a new HTML5 look that makes it more responsive, easier to use, and better integrated with the friends and music lovers in your life.

Of the few new features that have been added to the New Pandora, the only things I really care about are:

• Discovery of Music with Friends
• Simplified Station Creation
• And Unlimited Listening – No more 40 hour cap!

As with all of the latest web applications, they’ve finally added the Facebook API, allowing you to connect with your friends and see what they’re listening to.

I’m guessing you’ll like the updates Pandora made more than you’ll like the updates that Facebook has coming next week.

Buckle up, folks! Social media is about to get even more interesting!

Well…you will if you hated the Facebook updates from earlier this week.

You won’t have a choice though. Facebook will be releasing it’s new Timeline update on Thursday, September 29th, 2011.

But if you want to be brave, and get it before hand:

No worries, though. Someone will be releasing a browser addon to hide the Facebook Timeline cover art in no time, for those that need a little more facebook usage discretion (HA!).

I want to updated more.

Believe me; I do.

I’m still here, but I’m working non-stop on client projects, so I barely have enough time for my own.

My goal for my birthday month, October, is to update at least once a week.

I think I can pull that off. (a ha!)
