How to Show an April Fool’s Day Message on Facebook Using FBML
» ‎ (Anti) Social Development
Facebook has a piece of FBML code that can be used on a custom tab and will show a special message only on April Fool’s Day.

While it isn’t April Fool’s Day yet, I thought I would write about it now so you had time to prepare. ;-)

This tag is wrapped around whatever content you want to display on April Fool’s Day and will only appear on April 1st.

Since the message will only appear on that one day, there isn’t a good way to test that it is working properly. Facebook does, however, have a test console that you can use to test your code before it goes live.

The fbml tag is:
```
<fb:is-it-april-fools>April Fools message here</fb:is-it-april-fools>
```
The part that says “April Fools message here” is where you add the content that you want displayed on April Fool’s Day.

Who knew that Facebook even had a sense of humor …?

Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Ed Harris and Alan Arkin chew the words of David Mamet's script (based on his own stage play) as a group of Chicago real estate salesmen vying for the best "leads" at a small firm that sells property in resort areas. When a hotshot executive (Alec Baldwin) from the head office arrives and proposes a vicious sales contest, competition gets stiff, and the veteran salesmen find their jobs in jeopardy.

Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) racks up miles flying around the country firing employees on behalf of companies. But he faces losing the job he savors to recent college grad Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick) -- and losing the ability to escape emotional ties to anything. A connection he builds with Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga), however, might change his outlook on the future. Golden Globe winner Jason Reitman's smart comedy also stars Jason Bateman.

How to Edit and Delete a List on Facebook
» ‎ (Anti) Social Development
Last week I wrote about a way to filter the Facebook news stream by pagesby creating lists. It isn’t an elegant solution, but since Facebook made their last round of changes their isn’t another way to do this. It’s a shame because it used to work great. I think that Facebook needs to learn that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. And if it is broke, please listen to your users and at least attempt to fix it.

Anyway, in the comments, Ajith asked how to delete the lists that had already been created. This, too, had been moved in Facebook’s last update and the settings were not obvious.

Here’s how to edit and delete a Facebook list.
1. Click on Account on the top right of the Facebook top navigation bar.
2. Select Edit Friends
3. On the next page you can add a fan page or a friend to an existing lists and create a new list
4. On the left are the lists that you have already created.
5. Click on the name of the list that you want to edit or delete.
6. At the top of the page you will now have two new buttons: Edit List and Delete List.
So, that’s how you find the new location to edit and delete lists that you have already created. You can create a new list from here as well.

I’ve been writing about Facebook more than I used to and I’ve been creating custom Facebook tabs for clients.

After tediously emailing potential clients the links to Facebook pages I’ve worked on, I finally took some screenshots and made a portfolio of them using NextGen Gallery. I’m always working on other sites and rarely stop to update my own.

If you are interested in having a custom tab created for you, please check my services page and contact me.

“When it works, it’s amazingly impactful, but when it doesn’t work, it’s not only creepy but off-putting,” said Tim Hanlon, a principal at the consulting firm Riverview Lane Associates of Chicago. “What a marketer might think is endearing, by knowing a little bit about you, actually crosses the line pretty easily.”

This week I have passive aggressive notes from children, outlaw cookies, recession sharks, a funny video of my very own cat and more.
- Seeking Goods Made in the USA – This article is about taking a list of items needed for a party to Target and trying to only buy ones made in the USA. Some items had no made in the USA version and they found that the US items cost more. What a surprise ;-) I am constantly on a made locally/made in this country quest (although I don’t tend to shop at chains like Target) and you do spend more. And some items are elusive – I can’t find affordable children’s clothing made in this country. I’ve offset the higher cost by buying less and taking really good care of the items I do buy.
- The Joys of Motherhood – This site, Passive Aggressive Notes, is overall really funny, but the comments are crap. These notes were written by kids who were mad at their parents. “I’m serious!”
- Baked Goods Outlawed at Bake Sales – If you can’t actually bake something for a bake sale and they encourage you to bring Doritos, really, what’s the point?
- Economic Recession Means Fewer Shark Attacks – Ok, this article is over a year old but I still thought it was pertinent. Overall, shark attacks are done because people have less money for beach vacations.
- Chile Earthquake Moved Entire City 10 Feet to the West – This is a headline that just makes you say WOW!
- The Slippery Scope of Creeping Scope – All freelancers deal with this. You nail down the tasks, time and price and then get an email that says something like, “when you’re in there can you also do blah”. But how it’s dealt with really does depend on the client.
- Laughing Babies
- My cat meets a printer

Have the Confidence of a 7 Year Old
» ‎ (Anti) Social Development

Last week my daughter was in the school talent show and she sang My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music without any music.

I encouraged her to be in it because her teacher was the organizer for it but I wasn’t going to force her to if she really didn’t want to. I was surprised when she agreed and went through the tryouts and rehearsals.

It wasn’t that I expected her to quit but when things are going on in her life I often think about how I felt at the same age and use my own experiences to help me understand hers.

But Alex is not me. I was so shy at her age I wouldn’t have had anything to do with the talent show. She is so much more outgoing than I am. But this was her first stage experience and she was nervous but she went through with it and had a wonderful time. I joke that I have the confidence to stand up on stage now but that my singing voice is SO bad that people would run screaming from the auditorium with bleeding ears.

And we should all have this confidence when we are trying new things. We need to have the confidence to take a change and to maybe even fail. Whenever I feel fear, I am going to watch this video and remember that I can do anything. I might fail or I might fall off the stage but I will have tried something new.

How to Filter the Facebook News Stream by Fan Pages
» ‎ (Anti) Social Development
Since the last Facebook update, I have been unable to locate a simple way to filter my news stream by pages or pages that I am fan of.

This is annoying because I follow a variety of topics on Facebook and filtering news in this way was a quick way way to get information.

Earlier, I had made lists, such as Activism, WordPress and Philly. Since I already have those lists, I can filter by those topics but there isn’t a way to filter by all pages.

The best way, that I have found, to manage this is to create a list that includes all of your pages or at least the ones you are most interested in.

Here’s what you do.
1. Login to Facebook
2. Go to the Home page
3. On the left, click on Friends
4. On the top right of the list of friends, click on the ‘Create a List’ button
5. The pop up box will contain all of your friends and all of the pages that you are a fan of. For some reason, all of the fan pages have a question mark for the avatar and this has to be a Facebook glitch. After the list is created and you filter by it, the avatars will display properly.
6. Name the list and start selecting the pages that you would like to include. If you want to view all of your fan pages in the filter, then include all of them.
7. You can now select that list under friends to filter the news stream.
Even though lists are useful, this is tedious and is a really roundabout way to filter the news stream by fan pages. I’m not sure why this functionality is missing since the last update.

And if I’m missing something really obvious on a better way to do this, please please let me know.

International Women’s Day: The Women of Congo
» ‎ (Anti) Social Development

Today is International Women’s Day (wow, Thomson Reuters seems a bit heavy handed with their sponsorship) and in the United States March is also Women’s History Month.

There are so many issues to be covered and discussed that I didn’t know where to start.

The situation for women in the Congo has not received very much attention outside of Africa so I decided to discuss that even though it is incredibly painful to research and think about.

The Second Congo War, which officially ended in 2003, may be the deadliest conflict since World War II and is estimated that over 5 million people have died as a result of the war and it’s aftermath.

Women’s bodies have been used in the Congo as a weapon of war and they have been routinely gang raped and mutilated. It is estimated that 40,000 women have been raped but these are only the cases that are known about. Sexual violence in the Congo is considered the worst in the world. And with the high incidence of rape the number of women infected with HIV has exploded.

It is so bad that there are two hospitals specifically to treat victims of sexual violence. One is the Panzi Hospital of Bukava, which on any given day has 300 female patients being treated from rape related injuries.

With the assistance of VDay, started by Eve Ensler, women are starting to find their own strength and power even though their country and the International Community has done little if nothing about this. The 2010 Campaign is Stop Raping Our Greatest Resource: Power to Women and Girls of Democratic Republic of Congo. On May 25, 2010, with the assistance of VDay and Unicef, the City of Joy will be opened.

V-Day and UNICEF, in partnership with Panzi Foundation, are currently building a special facility for the survivors of sexual violence in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The City of Joy will support women to heal and provide them with opportunities to develop their leadership through programming in: group therapy; storytelling; dance; theater; self-defense; comprehensive sexuality education (covering HIV/AIDS, family planning); ecology and horticulture; and economic empowerment.

Note: The following videos can be difficult to watch.

Turning Pain to Power from V-Day Until the Violence Stops on Vimeo.

Dr. Denis Mukwege, the physician at Panzi Hospital, is called the Angel of Bukavu and has treated thousands of women and performs up to 10 surgeries a day. VDay recently honored him with an award in his own name.

The Dr. Denis Mukwege Award from V-Day Until the Violence Stops on Vimeo.

And while there is more awareness being brought to this issue and the women are starting to take control there is so much we can do. We can help support the 2010 Campaign, donate to the City of Joy and educate others.

And we should keep in mind that the DRC is a country rich in minerals. Minerals that are used in many of our electronic devices. Demand for these minerals help fund this war and support the rebel and army units. While a ban on these minerals would be even more devastating for the economy of the DRC it is important to think of where our gadgets come from, what materials go into them, and where these materials come from. Pressure should be put on companies like Niotan Inc., of Mound House, Nev. to force them into humanitarian business practices.

The cynical part of me can’t help but wonder if what has been going on in Congo has been ignored internationally because our demand for the minerals exceeds our concern for other people. Or the profit of a company exceeds everything else.

Another week gone … life keeps zipping by.

This week I have school lunches, facebook, annoying phrases, a funny interview with Mark Ruffalo and more.

Enjoy!
- Fed Up: School Lunch Project – A schoolteacher eats the school lunch every day in 2010. I pack a lunch for my kid because we are vegetarians. But even if we ate meat, I would pack her lunch. Yuck. I feel for the kids on the lunch program – what is being provided for them is not at healthy.
- Quit Beating Yourself Up – Really funny article. We’ve all done stupid things like this. Well, I’ve never locked my Dad in my house, but still ;-)
- How To Tag Your Facebook Friends In Status Updates – It seems like a lot of my Facebook friends already know how to do this, but it’s still a useful article.
- 100 RSS Feeds for the Well Rounded Freelancer – I’m still looking for some time to go through this list – it looks there are some great resources in here.
- The 10 Annoying Phrases You Need to Stop Using – I’m old enough to remember when my personal brand was having a personality ;-)
- How One Man Used Social Media to Raise $91,000 for Charity – The awesome Danny Brown, 12for12K, and using Social Media for fundraising.
- I’ve really liked Mark Ruffalo since I saw him play Stan in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This interview is him telling a funny story about his grandmother, religion and being 8 years old.
