That is possible your domain must be whitelisted via Facebook it takes about 48 hours .Additional you must add OG: metatags to your header pointing where your flash player and content is . There must be a Thumbnail represented fot the first click before the flashplayer allow to play on the wall inside Facebook . The plus your content will link to your page instead to Youtube , vim or any other side. Jw-Player is one i prefer it must be a Licensed one to work. Same Player work with Soundfiles Playlist m3u and many other formats. Not Animated Gifs.

Just use the Google Engine for that task it shows more results and is  fast if you use cached results to preview . Use following string:

• "site:Facebook.com  Job offer Vienna"  (3000 results) without quote

if you place two quote around "Job offer" the results will be more accurate to your need, or in german

• "site:facebook.com Job Angebot Wien" (500 results)

These simple string  force google to search only on the Facebook domain on every Facebook Page Event Group or public Profile post.  Same search strings you can use to find a Appartments or nearly anything inside Facebook. Same search on Facebook Post by every one returns plus some Bing results.  No results found for your query. Check your spelling or try another term.

Since they opt out the Privacy setting to hide the activity stream every activity you make in Facebook shows up in your friends stream . When ever you like a page join a Group comment a status it will popup as activity in your friends stream . As many like to comment and be much more active with there friends without bothering other friends with your activity you can switch it off by turning your wall to Only ME.

PRIVACY – CUSTOM SETTINGS  -POST BY ME – ONLY ME

What does that it will Block your Wall for every buddy and hide any post you make on your wall or on other Walls Photos Videos its finally hide every activity you make .Except to that person the wall  belongs to .

As there are many fake applications that suggest to show you how have visited your profile, there is no such way you can due that in Facebook .Exept with a virus installed on your computer. Any way you could track visitors with google analeptics on the old profile with a embedded Google Analytics code in a FBML box on your side bar. 

No one will visit your Profile, Why they should ? all your activities are shown in there Wall stream no need to visit a profile one exception is when you add a new Friends and he want to know who you are thats the one and only time some one would visit your profile. 

Some stats from a Profile in one year about  2k Friends Hometown in Europe main profile landing page only :  

532 Visits  

4s: avarage time on Profile

99,4%: New Vistitors

99% : Visitor region USA

Since new FB remove the custom Boxes from Profile there is no more Side bar with custom elements, not anymore possible. 

Probably you want to stay informed about some topic and wall post of some Facebook Pages you like even offline and where ever you are without visiting hunderts of pages for updates .

The Facebook Page RSS Feed have atom  format : XXXXXXX is the Page ID 

http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=XXXXXXXXXX

Some of the best  Rss Reader to read/import  Facebook page feeds is NetNewsWire free for Mac , Ipad and Iphone Syncs with Google Reader. Your news feed even the most recant is Filterd these is the only way you can be sure the page wall post get too you .

There is a Javascript that select all , just go to the invite your friends page and past following javascript into your Browser adress bar , hit enter .Depends how many friends you have it can take some seconds .

javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsByTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}

These méthode is a well known and outdated and could not work as Facebook invent the 50 Friends limit to "Suggest to friends " invite so you should not invite more than 49 Friends at once, as they will not receive your invitation.  A work around is making list with 49 Friends in it . Other alternative is a Greasmonkey Script for Safari Chrome that let you chose how many to select (working) you need Select Friends Script  to installed

The Facebook Algorithmus is the fromula that stays behind your wall feed . Facebook filter your Top News and also your Most Recent News on your wall. The formula behind that also called The Facebook Algorithmus . As you probably already seen your friends post  don't sort by time than more on relevance chosen by Facebook.  Different Post and interaction result differently on Friends wall some stay for over a day other disappear after a hour .

Facebook Top News Filter 

A) Facebook weight post differently in following order :

1. Relation ship change … is married
2. Mobile Uploads
3. Profile Photo Uploads 
4. Emotional ❤ Symbols  Post !
5. Video links
6. Photo links  
7. Text Status Update
8. App Post
9. Taged @Friends Text  Post 
10. Profile information Hometown change
11. Page update 

B) Counting your Friends comments and Like is second weight factor.

C) Your Visits on a Friends profile or Page result that the stream will be shown to you. Your Interaction with a Friend Profile helps him to show up in your wall stream. You can interact once per visit or multiple times per visit same effect less clicks . Lets say you like at once 10 picture of your friend will hold him in your daily stream even when you have a lot of friends and he don't update that much.

D) Mutual Friends 

Resume Post with Apps like Twitter Hotsweet or Tweetdeck will not show up as well as "normal Posts" even if they have a lot of likes comments , Pages disappear fully from your stream if you don't interact or visit them by your own.

Probably Facebook hide the Admin of a Page for a good reason. But some times you need to get in contact with them for  what ever reason. There is one way to find them not inside Facebook but on there Webpage . Most Brand Facebook Pages have a Webpage too with some Facebook functions LIKE Comment or some more advanced code running .

There you find mostly the Admin of the Page too as FB Webpages need the Meta tags there is the Facebook ID of the Admins that mostly 99% also Admin the Page inside FB .

view the  source code and search for following Meta tags. There is at least the developer listed and also the admin to moderate comments and admin the virtual fanpages generated by likes and comments.

og:admin

UPDATE : Since Facebook introduce the massage button on Fanpages there is no real need to find admins as you can get in contact simple by sending a massage. 

If the page is huge it could be that you dont get a respond. There is one more option since many pages use auto FB ->Tweets to get in contact via Twitter. All pages use the Facebook own short url service fb.me simple make a search for that url. Dont fall with the door in the house try to get first some relation and trustfull contact before your formulate your needs.

Geotarget  Fanpage Search if you want to limit the search to a special region you can add geo cordinates to the search to . there is a smal tool GEO Tools in the sub menu on that blog to use any service that provide longitude and langitude coordinates from maps with some string examples at the bottom.

Add the search term + geo paramter into your tweetdeck search  

Admin by ImageTag : Last option is look on the page for Tagged images mostly the admin is the first person who tag on a page under the tagged name you will see who is tages him  Franz Zucker . Chances are very good to see  name of Admins 

The Numbers at the end represent the FB ID of the Admin , find him on FB with the profile Link 

Profile Link :  http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=XXXXXXXXXXX

There can be one or multiple Admins on the Page in our case xxx.. and 1234 2 Admins are on the Page. These technic only work if the FB PAge and Webpage is done by professional not on random Pages . Mostly at least the owner of the page and a coder will be admin there. 

Why you could contact a Facebook Admin if you find interesting opportunities to cross collaborate with a Fanpage Admin it could be interesting for both . Its a nice alternive than only push Facebook adverts to gain new Fans . Often Pages are not direct copetitors as they have different regions and produkts or Services it brings more value for the Fans and the Page owner.

One last thought dont ask for basic Link posts to your page that would not work be more creative make a content partner ship or even games that run on 2 or more pages . The more time and clicks the user make on your Fanpage the higher EdgeRank and visibility it will get .    

Still some question just add it to the comment 

Finally these little Javascript snippet turns the design mode on after entering the snippet in your Browser bar you can edit delet anything what you dont want to show . Useful fot taking screenshots and dont want to go true Photoshop or any other picture editor to hide personal information or Profile pics . The edited webpage is only visible on your Browser after the next refresh its gone .

(without quote) 

“javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true’; document.designMode=’on’; void 0″

After that go with your cursor were ever you want to edit some  text or photo – delete , Edit past or type your own Text . Make a screen shot with your preferred app. 

• Usefull if you need some clean Screen shots 
• Remove Adds for screen cast 
• want to hide temporary some parts of the Profile
• Learn how FB is styled (developer)

Some nice tool also to learn and clean up or redesign study without the need to know coding or html .

Images and Photos are the most interacted content not only on Facebook on every social Media platfrom. One reason to take a close look how to optimize shared photo content for good exposure.

Photo Albums

The maximum pixel Facebook will store your uploaded pictures will be  720 x 720  pixels ,every bigger size will be resized. Make sure length is smaller than 720 or FB is down scaling to 720px of the longest axis. For practical use and a standard

Photo image ratio: 4:3 ratio  would be 720 x 540 px

Film   format ratio: 16:9 ratio would be 720 x 405 px

If the picture length is smaller than 720 it will fill it with the facebook gray to match 720 px.

New Facebook Timeline Photo :

since the new Timeline get public accessible for everyone some part changed. If you pcture is not a 4:3 pixel ration it get only viewed compresd in size on the wall. Same rule for all preview thumbs of rich media like Flash or movies shared from your Webpage or App.

Timeline Cover Photo Size:

Since Facebook updated all profiles to the Timeline profile you get a beautiful option to show your visitors a huge cover photo. There are several creative ways to use that new format.

• It could be a extension to your regular profile picture

Recomended Format Size :  851px wide x 315px high minimum of 720px

Some Marketing people use the new Cover photo to advert for there business Facebook dont notice any rules that you could not place some kind of advert as your Timeline cover photo. Its on you what impression you would like to give when some one visit your Profile the first time. Its the same like you get as first contact email an advert.

 Timeline Highlighted Photo size :       843 x 403 pixel

Profile Photo

Rolling Update : Facecbook will change the profile size of the Timeline Profile Avatar from 125 x125  to 160 x 160 pixel . For most user it will make no difference exept if your Timeline cover photo match with your profile picture it will be not align anymore after the change . On 26 April, Facebook will be rolling this out to all Pages.

“The profile pic will sit 23 pixels from the left and 210 pixels from the top.”

Max Profile pictures             500 x 200     (these is on change as FB plans to reduce it )

Max thumbnail size               75 x 99

Square Wall Profile Thumb 50 x 50 px        ….q,jpg  (crop )      …s.jpg

Normal Thumb                     125 x 125 px                …. n.jpg

FB Photo Compression

As Webmasters know most server using ImageMagick or GD Lyb for resizing Facebook photo compression app is with 50% quite very high ,tray to avoid it .

Facebook Photo Compression and quality

Compression= 50%
Resolution = 92dpi

The new Facebook Lightbox 

The new FB Lightbox allow to view pictures bigger in the album, but that dont mean they are actualy bigger same like before the side ration make them filling up the frame or leaving some white frame around it.

Picture share tipps

Dont over share Facebook is not a photo community like Flickr or Picasa if you upload 20 photos or more no one will view them all . Better share smal sets of 3 as the new Leyout shows up to 3 -5 pictures on the wall and allow your friends to view and like them with a simple click.

Picture Tagging SEO 

You can Tagg pictures with friends name and Facebook Fanpages. FB will send a request to the person . If he dont allow the tagging it will not show up. Best case would be to tagg your own Fanpages or Friends that feel well by geting tagged from you . Ok you read till here ? lets pack out some more secrets most Facebook Admin dont know.

Facebook  Photo Tagging by User : probably most of you  know nearly all about it Fb minimise and notify every user who get tagged

Facebook Photo Tagging as a Page : Tagg other related pages  if not turned off, to make that interesting for photographer for example you can tag panoramic views as multi pictures 3 in one row like some profile use it. ( see Profile photo hack)

Facebook Photo Tagging  as WordPress Blog if you setup your WordPress correctly every like you get on a article produce a hiden Fanpage only visible to the admin with wall discussion and photo video section like a common Fanpage . No one will see that exept of you as the creator of your Blogpost. In technical SEO terms its  a 301 redirect Fanpage.  Even if no one  can see it, you can still work with that  Fanpage like with any other Fanpage . Post stuff Invite Friends ect.

Upload a Photo and Tag a person (notification for  permission ) or a Fanpage , you photo get added to the tagged photo collection. Any Click on the shared photo will redirect the user to your blog post. No need to add any link .

Additional thoughts  there are WP Plugins that can welkome a user depends where he come from Google Bing or Facebook you could even personalise the welcome massage if he enter true one of your Posts. Gona test that in the next days and add the result her.

In SEO words a Phototag is nothing else than a visual backlink  or comment.

Facebook photo hacks 

Want your Photos get viral ? or your pics drive trafic back to your blog .Just try following technik seen on a turkish Page with millions of likes. When you chose a picture chose one as a teaser and the other one as a regular thumb . Place a play button on the left corner of the pic . Dont upload just share your blog post with you wall or fans . Facebook user love videos and will tray to play the image . That image link will link directly to your blog or webpage. As long the picture is somehow relevant to the post no one wil complain.

 The old Video Thumbnail

 The Video Post thumbnail will change in the new Timeline layout !

New Timeline Media Icon the media Link Post format get smaler 

Minimum Thumbnail size for your Blog must be 200 x 200 to share media in FB.

The only Format that show full size on the Timeline are picture and Facebook Videos . A strong reason to use them more. Specialy Facebook videos could leed to more Interaction.

For special post you can limit acces to registered members only and ask for a Facebook connect with publishing rights  that will post the same blogpost again to the wall . The same way Washington post App is working , as soon you visit the page connect ask for some rights and inform your friends what you are reading. Its very simple to make a blog work like a full Facebook book application. You can automate the play button thumbnail for your blog by a image processing software like GD Library or ImageMagick that run on most Servers or even simpler look for a watermark Plugin in the WordPress Plugin repository and chose a use a play button as watermark.

Want to take a deep breath into the Facebook Developer area, interesting post from Stephan Parker about backgrounds of the development of Facebooks Picture Browser 

Facebook Picture hack as some Blackhats used that technic to misuse with senseless  landing pages and drive traffic to there pages.Stay clean and white and share something useful for your vistior.

Increase EdgRank for Images

One last note for Power users if you want your picture get high visiblity to your Friends Fans user your Mobile even when you desktop is right in front of you. Facebook honors the upload with excellent EdgRank  value. You can prove it by yourself or just watch how much interaction random Iphone uploads get from Users.

These post will be updated regulary as chages on the Facebook platform for images happen often and are still not optimum. The competitor Google Plus could be one reason for that. 

If you want to bookmark the page you can like or share it . Thank you for reading

It is important to have not to many pending friend request if you want to add some more. Facebook will block you from adding new friends or limit the number if to many request are pending.

A sweet app helps to sort the pending out

http://apps.facebook.com/friendrequests/

Alternatively you can go to the Profile and look on the left side under the Profile pixs there is a link just click and the request is canceled . 

Facebook blocked option to send invite to all friend for a Page , as many Admin use the Select all JavaScript to invite all  friends to a Page now you are limited to 49 Friends at one invite if you chose more the invite will not get received. The limit should protect from Invite Spam. Not conformed but these could also affect Event invites .

Many Twitter Applikations offer that you post your Facebook status  from the same client  you tweet  but there is a big disadvantage to the standard wall post from the web.

FB give your post a value depends on the type of post Video Photo Text or App post. The Facebook algorithm choose how long your friends can see our post on there wall. The wall timeline is not sort by time its sorted by weight, it depends how many friends have interacted with your content. If now one see it no interaction will happen. The Posts with the minimum wights are App posts. Even if it is your personal Text posting from Desktop clients like TweetDeck or Sessmic Desktop will reduce your visibility for your friends, as its still a APP for Facebook. If you have no other option as you would like to post scheduled updates its just fine but if you can choose tray to post from the web or even better from your mobile Phone. Mobile Phone post have the highest post weight in the sense of the Fb algorithm. You can proof it by yourself by posting different content from different FB clients. You remember the old days when your wall was cluterd with Apps post .

You can hide friends simple in the privacy settings with the Relationships settings choose a who can see or not see it by name or Friends list you have done.

But thats is only a nice privacy illusion, it don’t work at all its only hides your friend profile picture and name on your profile. Every simple App can read your friends. But not only Apps also every one of your friends can connect to your privat friends if they want .

Its just 2 clicks away prove it. Look at suggested friends “People you may know” on the right side -See all Facebook offer on the left bar, by Hometown , Curent location ,Secondary School, Mutual Friends, College and University and employer.

The week part is Mutual friend any of your friends can enter your name and get shown all of your Friends you are connected and even he can refine his search by employe or Hometown. So why  hiding friends ?

If you find this hint useful like or tweet it . If more are interested in Friends Privacy i will post a more detailed Blogpost.

One of the major functions is to sort your Friends into List one to hold the overview and second to read them properly by category. Facebook shortly Add the Friends not in a List link in you friends View Tab

For Austria it needs about a hour to recive the SMS verification code I used in these case T-Mobile and it worked . Happy to go further with the app development process .

Since a short time Facebook allow you to migrate your profile into a Facebook Fan page . Fianly here is the link for the migration

You should be aware that only the profile picture get moved to the page. Backup first all your stuff you don’t what too lose

Keep in mind to change your profile name as you wish bevore your move to Page in the PAge status you cant chang it anymore

http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=19691

These transfer is only possible if your language is set to English .

As testing the mobile Voice to text feature on the blog it was saver to change posting via mobile to draft .

Some simple changes have to be done on a WordPress file

edit In class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php, find in your root/WP_INCLUDES  directory.  Change the post status in following line  as you wish to publish.

Default is Instant publish.

$post_status = ($publish) ? ‘publish’ : ‘draft’;            MODE INSTANT PUBLISH

$post_status = ($publish) ? ‘draft’ : ‘publish’;            MODE DRAFT POST

To enable xmlrpc remote posting it must be enabled in the admin section under

Setings -> writing

Keep in mind these is a WordPress core file on the next update it could need a reedit.

Auto generate posts via XMLRPC take a look at these code snipd  interesting for event post for example. or posting foursquare check in into your blog  for location based posts.

Register a extra User for XMLRPC post for security reason

After a second time got in truble with Adobe Dreamwaver CS5 on Apple MAC as it dont start up and freeze during the loading without any Error. The problem okour after eddtiting a file with a second html editor while Dreamwaver CS5 was still open. Dreamwaver get messed up with the file permission and cache files and wont load the last Site just worked with.

Mostly use Dreamwaver to edit and extend some WordPress Plugins and Theme Files.
By renaming my last edited site Dreamwaver started as usual .To find the bootle neck why Dreamwaver fail to boot here several reasons that could help you too if you got simliar problems.

If you have a local copy of your WordPress Instalation be carefull what you copy to your local drive. Many Plugins like SEO ,Cache Plugins and Security Plugins make huge backups of your SQL  Page cache and more copy of  files to speed up your hosted WP .In you local root folder  directory there is no need for that files. The Cache get unnecessary huge for files WP auto generate and you will never edit . It couse Dreamwaver to cache that files too and make it extremely lagy or even fail to load or crash .

In my case  Wordpress Plugin wp-security build a backup file of the SQL database these one get cached and  crash Dreamwaver during rebuilding the cache. The named like bck-12-24-2011-3467fe784a4567f.sql  . Take a look at the size of your local folders you will find very fast the big folders with huge backups files that are not needed for Dreamwaver . Once DW build a malicious cache  it will not start anymore even if you remove tha files that crash DW.

Dellet the DW Cache file or better the hole configuration folder like recommended by Adobe your site configuration are save as they stored on a other place. DW rebuild the Cache and Configuration files within the next start.

Adobe Dreamwaver Configuration Cache location for Mac OS

Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS: us_US :Configuration

Resolve DW Boot Errors

- Boot fail for File permission problem

Just login with a second profile to your Mac and start Dreamwaver if it starts it will be a good chance that its the file permission or personal configuration folder that get messed up.

- Draemwaver freez when rebuilding the Cache

Move the Local dir to a save place and copy past every single subfolder back into place ,restart DW on every move to circle the problem folder.

- Dreamwaver crashed by WordPress Plugins

To find  the problem copy the wordpress Plugin folder to a other location and copy back    plugin after plugin to the orginal place and restart DW. Dont forget to delet the Adobe from   your local where DW crash

.

To receive Facebook likes for you Blogpost your can query  Facebook via Fql. If you have hunderts of posts urls and want to cache the Like and shares you can build  the query in your post loop WordPress theme .  To prevent slowing down too much you should cache the result for some time in your database for example in a Custom Fields  . Like in these Blog we remove the facebook like counter on the front page and show a Interaction Bubble what is a summ of comments and Facebook Interaction. Additional you can add and store retweets by blogpost too that will give the vistor a good reverence what is the most aktive content on your page.

Example Query :

SELECT url, normalized_url, share_count, like_count, total_count FROM link_stat WHERE url in ("facebook.com", "google.com") ORDER BY total_count DESC

Test your query in the Test console : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/fql.query/

How to integrate Reffernce with example Script : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/

Sample XML Like request for a web Url

$xml = simplexml_load_file("http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls=$url");

$child=$xml->children();

$child2=$child->children();

$fbtotal=$child2->total_count;

The FQL returns a array of following data

share_count  like_count   comment_count   total_count  click_count  comments_fbid   commentsbox_count

Feature would be to build that in a function or plugin . Once stored its simple to sort  and show on custom pages or widgets by likes or any other social Graph  data you like on your WP Page .

The Interesting part beside the technical stats  numbers is now you can build pages and content that reflect on the Social Interaction on the post . Something like a Fangate based on Numbers of Likes , Award returning visitors with gifts or special Event invitation , ViP Guest List ect .

Just a little note about the new Facebook Subscribe function . First of all its nice to have a option to read some celeb people with the subscribe function the down side of the coin its not even similar to Google Plus Circled Friends. As you Subscribe in Facebook and your stream can get noisy very fast , removing a subscribed person is a pain. Only one person per click and page load . So if you whant to remove 10 people it need 10 page refresh. For suscribe it needet just 1 minutes for unsubscribe calculate 10 times more time .

Just to be warned you should take care of your news feed and friends no one want to spend time for just removing subscribers. By the way similar complicate its to remove a Fanpage ones liked . You have to visit every singel page that your want to remove and click the little link down on the left side to remove it.

Hopefully Face will add some tools to control noisy Fanpage and Subscriber by the User.

If you plan to share some Facebook profile or Page Links in your WordPress Blogrolle there is a simple way .To acces photo links just enter the Graph url 

http://graph.facebook.com/cameramantv/picture?type=large

Or if you plan to make a custom child theme or WP pluginyou can use the Json Graph link that will return the url

http://graph.facebook.com/cameramantv/picture/?fields=picture&type=large

That way you never have to care were Facebook is storring his picture and even if the profile pic get updated you have the right link 

Nachdem Twitter die RSS feeds entfernt hat hier eine kleine übersicht im grunde kann man diese sehr einfach nutzen zur darstellung dynamischer Tagclouds oder Auswertung aktueller trends oder Sie weiter verarbeiten mit Yahoo Pipes. Um zum beispiel eine Wolke der aktivsten  Twitter discusionen um ein thema oder person darzustellen im Blog folgt ein Demo mit dem Flash Tool von Tagul. Dynamische Tagclouds sind auch mit Javascript erstellbar.

Some Ideas …

What we can do with the RSS streams ? Add a RSS import Plugin to your wordpress Blog and inport your favorite Boards as post. Feed Flash widgets with the Feed and share on Facebook. Filter the Feed with yahoo tube and get selective posts for your Fanpage ,add one of the post to Facebook wordpress plugins . Make a custom Facebook Child theme and use a Iframe Tab App to share it on your Fanpage. 

Dont lose your Social Activity on one platform .

You get a good impression what photo style and content is posted and liked on  Facebook and vice versa.

Some official and unofficial Endpoints only intereting for App Developers. Some smal overview and reference if you want to build some kind of mashup. Discoverd by different user or from the public dev info of the related page. Probably not that clean formated as it should i use it as a fast reference when building something instead of googling same stuff all time again and again.  Thes post is a growing post and far behind to be complete or nice formated if you have a suggestion would be happy to extend. That post grow in a short time quite nice it will come the time to clutter the chapters a bit and clean format  . Still i find most reffernces faster here than on goolge or the Ref. Page. Will add more examples to help to start your own project faster. by the way you can use the google search box of the right top of the blog most junky code notes are a bit hidden, not to distract non code lovers.

Twitter API

 One of the most powerfull APi many usefull services build around twitter as it offers {offerd } simple acess to the tweets via RSS and Api endpoints . Finally there last decision was to reduce API request what will kill most of the services.

The old rest method still working and accurate 

http://api.ak.facebook.com/restserver.php?v=1.0&method=links.getStats&urls=http://blog.metaprime.at/faq/what-is-facebook-maximum-photo-pixel-size/&format=json

All Facebook Page User Likes for WP

We request in these example additional Fields Like and Talking about to import them into the bookmarking system of WordPress . That way we get as often we request fresh stats activity data of our liked pages. Same import feed we could use to build a unfiltered stream outside of Facebook for your Blog visitor or as Tabed iframe page for a Fanpage.

https://graph.facebook.com/[USERID]?fields=likes.fields(likes,name,talking_about_count)&access_token=ACCESTOKEN

WordPress have differnt option to import and export OPML Bookmark Links with the OMPL Import Plugin, usefull to update   links on the Blog or import Facebook Graph data . The WP Meta field for rating make sense fo accosiate with the Likes or talking about of the linked fanpage . ALL import is some commercial plugin to import XML data to WP.

Blog.wordpress-dev/wp-links-opml.php

FQL Data request for Like Share

Request FQL database for Likes Share_count from link blog.metaprime . FQL is the Facebook database Api. If you want to show some social friends data on your blog. FQL can run very slow if you request huge data amounts.

https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select like_count, total_count, share_count, click_count from link_stat where url=”http://blog.metaprime.at/faq/what-is-facebook-maximum-photo-pixel-size/”

With these method you can request multiple URLs at once to just seperate them with a “,” for example if you have a WP Plugin best Post and request the 20 most read Posts to generate a total sum out of the Likes. Other method could be if you use numeric url  like blog.metaprime.at/?p=123  just count true your blog posts and add the resulting value somewhere in your WP Database SQL. To reduce load time it would be a good idea to save singel post likes in a custom metafield WP. 

all querys you can test by yourself most need a access token FQL Facebook Explorer

Get all Facebook Friends birthday 

Get all birthdays these month 11 sort by date 

SELECT uid, name,pic_square, birthday_date FROM user
WHERE (substr(birthday_date, 0, 2) = “10″) AND uid IN
(SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) order by birthday_date

 Get all Facebook Group Members 

Get all Group Members from Group Austria where iam Admin. That could take some time if group is bigger.  

SELECT uid, name, pic_square FROM user WHERE uid = me() OR uid IN (select uid from group_member where gid = 2204390290) order by name

Quite accurate it returns all Members missing about 300 from 4000 probably non existent or terminated accounts. In opposite to page member request where you only get max 500 Members /Fans. Recognize the power of Group? As long your Group is not over 5000 all Event functions are in work. Chat up to 500 Members.  Facebook is testing Groups for Pages on there Facebook Tips Page .

Get all music of Facebook Friends

That could be helpful to suggest connected friends Playlist for the Metaplayer of play a sound on the App Webpage that fits the visitor Interests ( with Facebook connect) 

SELECT uid, name, pic_square,music FROM user WHERE uid = me()
OR uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) order by music DESC

 Some User dont add music to there profile so we sort them at the end with DESC. Same Request for Movie what about to add some localisation near you or your country city ? So you know who to invite for your next movie release or book presentation.

Get our friends by location City and order by movies

SELECT uid, name, pic_squarecurrent_location,movies FROM user WHERE uid in (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) AND ‘Vienna’ in current_location order by movies DESC

Nearly the same request we get movies from friends who are located in Austria 

SELECT uid, name, pic_square,movies,current_location FROM user WHERE uid = me() and “Austria” in current_location
OR uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) order by current_location DESC

Get mutual Friends

SELECT uid,name,mutual_friend_count FROM user WHERE uid IN( SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1=me())

Json ret:  ”mutual_friend_count”: 190

 Get Friends who Like one of your Fanpage 

We can ask for one Fanpage or multiple request at once by separating FanpageID. Quite a Interesting Query as you see which friends are on your supportive roots and who is not. 

FQL Get Your Friends Lists  (try that) 

SELECT flid, owner, name FROM friendlist WHERE owner=me()

FQL Get members of a single List 

SELECT uid,username,profile_url,first_name,last_name,pic_square FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid FROM friendlist_member WHERE flid =1234567890112121314)


flid : is the ID of the Friendlist not the name

Get all  Facebook Female/ Male Friends Single 

SELECT name, sex ,relationship_status, FROM user WHERE uid IN
(SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) AND sex = “female” AND relationship_status=”single” LIMIT 20

Just change the sex field with “male” or “female” would be interesting to limit that to city or country too. tested in the Graph explorer 

Filter Friends  by gender and Location 

SELECT uid,name ,sex ,relationship_status FROM user WHERE uid in (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) AND ‘Austria’ in current_location AND sex = “female”

 tested in Graph Explorer

Ref more

Since it take some time for the request it make sense to store the result temporary in your SQL or as a Json file on your server. To reduce load on both sides.

Pinterest RSS Feeds API

 Where are Pinterest RSS Feeds ?

Pinterest Boards RSS:  

http://pinterest.com/metacowboy/austria-love/rss

Pinterest User Pins RSS : 

http://pinterest.com/metacowboy/feed.rss

Pinterest API [URL shares] APi v1.0

http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?url=http://500px.com

The general Pinterest RSS feed will only deliver the thumb ulr in the feed if you need the full image size for embed or anything else simply change the ending of the image file with a parser.

All thumbs in the feed end with      _b.jpg       [example]

bigger Pinterest Images                  _c.jpg       [example]

Square tiny Pinterest Images         _t_jpg       [example]

On the Same Server with same url 

Pinterest Api3.0 up to 20 images json

https://api.pinterest.com/v3/pidgets/boards/USERNAME/BOARDNAME/pins/

Pinterest API 2.0 is shut down and no official release date till now . Is needed for official publishing via api on the Platform. There is still a unofficial way via the mobile api endpoint. On gitHub is some code to experiment.

Yahoo Pipe to extract Images all Images in the feed link to the pinterest media server with thumb resolution. 

Pinterest RSS Yahoo Pipe 

Useful to feed the Metaplayer or build any Iframe App for Facebook the Feed limit of 20 can simple be extendet see the Flickr RSS pipe

Facebook Update Status with Pinterest and your Blog 

Use one of the WordPress RSS import Plugins + Facebook auto-publish Plugins.  No need for 3thd party apps. Additional you get a nice back link to your blog.

If you dont have a blog you still can use services like IFFT or other RSS  apps personaly i love the CSS of IFFT some landmark for future css usability here.

Instagram Feeds

Just shortly get pointed form a friend who love instagram that it is one more very aktive mobile photo share platfrom with many tagged images most of them Tagged and with Geo RSS in the image .  The standard RSS feed dont return any geo data . 

http://instagr.am/tags/VIENNA/feed/recent.rss

 Change VIENNA with the Tag you want a feed  the feed contain a thumb image 150x 150 and a full image size about 600px . XML .1.0 version

User feed:

http://statigr.am/feed/username

that way you can build a RSS importer to your WordPress Blog with full image size posts gallerys or Pinabel Facebook shares that lead and link back to your your blog webpage. 

Istagram Image Search feed for a Hashtag

Simplest use via RSS works perfect for the Facebook Metaplayer as crossdomain is on allow! 

http://instagr.am/tags/[HASHTAG]/feed/recent.rss

To recive geo targeted Photos you can use the API endpoint and a acces key 

https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/search?lat=48.858844&lng=2.294351&?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

Adding Latitude and Longitude data for your location . Additional parameter could be distance and client_id as numbers of images you want.

client_id=<client_id>

distance=1000

count=30

As we have the geolocation now its quite simple to drop them on to a Google MAP .

Standard Tag in Post @Username 

To Tag Friends on Facebook via Graph the massage needs to be in following format 

@[{user_id}:1:{name}]

If you want to tag an user with the ID 0123456789, having name Peter Metabaron, you have to include the following in your message tag:

@[{0123456789}:1:{Peter Metabaron}]

@[1234567890:1:Peter Metabaron]

achieved via the Graph API same for Fanpages 

To Tag a Fanpage or Virtual Fanpage like a Blogpost use the Fanpage UID or User UID

User Tag with Uid will not link or notify Text part is irrelevant

@[458025154231865:Social Media Tipps]

You can test that in the Facebook Graph explorer 

Tag of Chat objects in the chat window for example anim Emoticons Gifs

We can link blog graph words with the related uid see writing in Bold on facebook

Same format should work when upating Facebook via Twitter or Google Calendar Feeds -> Birthdays Greets. User can turn off Tagging in his Privacy settings.

For some with a huge follower base 10k 100k and more the noise level on Twitter can rise dramatically up if you dont take care. Adding follower is a easy step reducing noise avoiding spam in your timeline is a bit triky . Here i want to share some Tipps to get back to real tweets even with a huge follower base of several tausend follower .

Some People think with a big follower base you cant be authentic reader of there tweets. You can if you filter out un personal auto spam tweets. Even if some have some kind of information its still a canned tweet. Since i dont like fast food or canned pork.

The base idea to use the Tweets Filter is that I need real time instant and personal tweets that make a tweet special and is the essence of Twitter in relation to other Social Networks. Twitter is also a great marketing tool but some over use the features offered by different Twitter Services.

Just before i start services mentioned here are gorgus tools i also use and recommend for online marketing campaigns but it depends on what YOU want to read and to prevent 24/7 marketing tweets in your timeline with automated tweets where no person sits live behind who can instantly respond. No fear of many follower anymore

Here my personal Filters i chose to block any Free Marketing tweet on Tweetdeck .

Go to Tweetdeck Settings GLOBAL FILTER 

From sources :

klout.com, socialoomph, fb.me, foursq, dlvr, buffer, twitterfeed, networkblogs, paper.li, scoop.it, triberr, IFTTT

There is no unic Filter list for everybody  its could be very different depends on your social crowd you conected and what they use. Some may also Filter Hootsweete or Pinterest.

Additional TweetDeck can filter in every singel column more Words but also sources Clients.

What will be filtered out ? schedule autopost from payed and mostly free marketing tools. Foursquere updates Iam here … , RSS auto feeds , Paper.li automated posts that only wast time and ego .. All that services promote in first case there service more than your Tweet.

That should help to reduce Spam follower Broadcaster and some more misery tweets in you timeline.

You can simply extend the Blocklist by taking a look at the source of the tweet the Twitter webclient hides that information but in the footer of Tweetdeck Tweets you will see the Tweet client used for the tweet. With backlink to the service if you dont know it That way the handmade tweets like from Mobiles Web client and custom tweets get more weight and visibility in your stream – more work to write -> more visibility and reaction. 

Its not all gone as i suggest on other post you can stil use additional clients and the Standard Twitter Client to read all your tweets without limitation.  

How to stop the  KSFETCH popup 3 solutions

If you run  LITTLE SNITCH  and  GOOGLE CHROME or any google product you will have a problem with the KSFETCH ISSUES. The Popup apears several times a day dubble and can really hurt when you work. The Port chaning Service try to connect to check for updates.

What is KSFETCH: It is the Google Chrome and Google Tools update fetcher 

Who calls : /Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.keystone.agent.plist 

What is Google Software KSFETCH Update?

How to Stop Ksfetch on Mac  :  

If you have little snitch installed the popup is heavily annoying as popping up about 4 times a hour. To stop that popup you can inter in the TERMINAL following command

 Working Solution 

finally after a long journey 

The simplest and fastest methode is via the mac Terminal change the permission of Google SoftwareUpdate Folder to Chmod 000  no access .

Opern Terminal move to the right folder 

CD  /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate

execute :

sudo chmod 000 /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate

Make sure you dont have some where else a google update 

locate GoogleSoftwareUpdate

 Enter in the Terminal Google never again call home 

defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 0

1.Solution via TERMINAL

once a week 

defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 604800

once a month

defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 2592000  

Explain : the numbers at the end “604800″ are the value till the next update in these case about a week 

 For some reason the form google offerd method dont work  ! Manage google updates 

2. Solution would be to change Folder permission of the folder

root/Libery/Goolge/GoogleSoftwareUpdate 

to READ only 

Removed it already once on my OS X but after the fresh install had to remove it again after popup 1001. Same error can ocur on any firewall like tcpblock , VirusBarrier that control your internet communication.

Shortly i get some crazy numbers returned from a Social Media Monitoring Beta tool with very long user unfriendly numbers like -0.19528962158203 hunderts of them . to make it more readable and memorizable we should Normalize them in a range of 1- 1000 following formula discovered. 

y = 1 + (x-A)*(10-1)/(B-A) 

To normalize vectors for a Graph we can use Pythagora’s theorem

 |v| = sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)

Simple Javascript can make the math for any webpage to show the numbers you need in the Format you like same same with Klout and most other Social Media Monitoring tools.

As there is no offical APi for Pinterest the simplest way to get hands on your Pin is via RSS feed . You can import and embed to your WordPress Blog Fanpage or  Twitter. 

The Board example is from the Social Media Menu board. To stay updated on the most popular pins you can add the Popular Rss feed.  Limitation to 20 pins per board and feed so if you have 10 boards 200 images is quite nice. 

My Pinterest name is metacowboy just change with yours. 

Your Pinterest RSS feed

http://pinterest.com/metacowboy/feed.rss

Board 

RSS Feed 

http://pinterest.com/metacowboy/social-media-menu.rss

There is even more fetch most Popular Pins from Pinterest 

Most popular Pins 

http://pinterest.com/popular/feed.rss

For my case its useful to feed my Fanpages Tabs and Visual Apps with the most simple visual bookmarking tool. Finding Rss feeds for boards and People is public so you can read any feed you like.

In general the Pinterest feed just serve a thumb version of the Pin . Additional Image sizes are available if you change the last letter of the image link with  _c.jpg  .

_b.jpg  is the standard preview thumb 

_t.jpg  is the smales squer image 

For parsing RSS feeds you can use Yahoo Pipes a great tool to filter RSS feeds without coding.

APi endpoint : https://api.pinterest.com/v2 [deactivated] only mobiles are allowed to use it 

Some code snippt to show user data inside a WordPress Theme for example custum meta data for activating personal sharable content Metaplayer or some stats tools for registered Members

  $username = $user_info->user_login;
  $first_name = $user_info->first_name;
  $last_name = $user_info->last_name;

Ref: WP wiki

Why lose you Interesting post on your Fanpage wall somewhere in the facebook nirwana from the point of google seo they index very bad and nearly no one will take a look at old fanpages post as most visitor even will not visit the fanpage anymore after liked one times. All Fanpage News arrive somehow in there News Feed . If they need information they will google for it but never will find your fanpage post except its world unic writing style.

So lets make a backup of your own Fanpage once for yourself and second for additional visitor on your blog.  Since its quite easy to import Facebook FanPages into you WordPress blog via RSS feeds syndication and importer Plugins. There is still one major problem …

All images of the feed point to the Facebook cached images that shows a thumbnail only with about 90px – 150px what is far to low to be a nice image for most blogs.

How to solve that lets take a look how FB cache image system. To reduce server load Facebook mostly only redirect the thumbnails to the original source and add size and ID information. via 

Safe_image.php

These url you will not see on Facebook internal Page only in the RSS feed . 

The Youtube Image cache link looks something like these 

http://blog.metaprime.at/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/default.gif

disabled url

https://s-external.ak.fbcdn.net/safe_image.php?

d=AQDPQSSO-0wfKdgA                                               | Image ID

w=130&h=130                                                               | Image size

url=http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/NH8FhsLPHyo/default.jpg     | Original source url

vi/NH8FhsLPHyo                                                           | Youtube video ID

Where are the big Youtube thumbs ?

Youtube store his Video Thumbs on the Ytimg server and has a strikt structure for all video thumbs. 

Default Yotube thumb for Facebook served with RSS http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/NH8FhsLPHyo/default.jpg

vuala we have the big original and steady Facebook image for our blog post embed.

Now to Finnish these little tutorial grab some RSS import Plugins from the WP Repository import and parse the image url to get full image size . 

Tested and would recommend : Syndicate Press and WP-o-Matic  but there are many others the last one offer RegEx in the backend so it supports the url rewriting .Probably we need to add several rules for different post types to the importer.

Best practice would be to test it out on a local MAMP test install before you import or publish the Fanpage posts on your Blog.

What will be the value effect ? You will recognise more visits on your blog than on your Fanpage ever would get for the same post you done on FB dosent matter what tool you use to publish . You even can time the import to tweet it from your Blog scheduled via  your import time.

Since the ISync schedule starts every hour and nearly freez the Mac a great working solution is to change the time to something less CPU eating  interval for the shedul process .

Open Terminal window and execute following command string ,change the Second with UNIX time of the schedule you need for your Adressbook <.-> Google contact sync

defaults write ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.GoogleContactSyncAgent StartInterval -int <seconds>

Final with  24h  schedule interval time 

defaults write ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.GoogleContactSyncAgent StartInterval -int 86400

Note for the next re install ,found on the apple forum .Would need a reboot to take effect.

Tools UNIX time Calculator if you need your special timing 

Since these is a little work arround to the invite all friends to your Facebook Groups . Same procdure can be done with Fanpages and other Facebook Groups , Event invites ect. Google Chrome dont allow anymore to execute Javascript in the browser bar some simple steps to get the job done in Google Chome.

Aktive the Developer Bar 

Go to Menu -> view -> Developer -> JavaScript Console .Below your webapge the Bowser open the great tool the Developer bar with Console . Short cut on mac CMD ALT I  

Copy following code : CTR C 

var x=document.getElementsByTagName("input");for(var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {if (x[i].type == 'checkbox') {x[i].click();}}; alert('Done: please scroll and repeat until all your friends have been selected');

Now go to your Facebook Fanpage to the Admin header section top left HIDE -> left See all the inviter box will open. Select from default recent interaction Search Friends, scroll all the way down till all Friends get loaded last name  start with “Z” Hans Zeppelin . Now  time for the little code snippet. Past the code in the Developer bar below the browser hit enter and wait. It takes some time to get execute if you have many tausend friends it can take up to some minutes to get executed.  Send you invite to your gorgeous new Fanpage and start building your Fanpage community . Make sure that you have a good amount of Interesting content ready for your friends to Interact when they land there.

The better way since Facebook could  block mass invites fly slow. Invite only 50 persons per bundle thats fine and all invites will be delivered. just repeat the process described above without loading all friends.
