On Tuesday I discussed how to use questions on your Facebook Page to dramatically boost traffic to your company blog. The one thing that I glossed over quickly was how Facebook calculates share and like counts. The number that Facebook currently displays is the total number of likes, shares, and comments on any given link.

After coming down with a cold and wanting to make sure that everything was perfect for launch I’ve decided to postpone the launch until Monday.

I previously wrote about the launch of a series on “How to Attract 3,000 Fans in 30 Days”. Almost 1,000 people registered for the program but it ended up taking much longer to create the content than I had thought it would. Thankfully I have now completed the guide and starting this week, I will begin posting the full series. While this series will be published on the site, there will be numerous ways to access the content including a downloadable e-book as well as a new course that I’ll be offering through New Media School.

With the surge in new branded digital media campaigns and programs we’ve decided to add a new component to this year’s Social Ad Summit being held in New York City and we’re calling it the “Social Times 25″. The Social Times 25 will showcase campaigns/programs that creatively and effectively leverage social technologies and digital media to increase engagement or achieve other marketing objectives. Over the past few weeks we’ve highlighted some of the campaigns and programs in this space but we don’t have time to acknowledge all of them.

Earlier this year I began receiving a lot of inquiries about translating the site into other languages. I’ve been forced to put off the launch since I was busy working on other stuff but last week I finally got around to launching the French version of AllFacebook. Right now I am being helped by the team over at KRDS. This is more of an experiment than anything else but I’m pretty excited to expand internationally.
