Recent changes on facebook

I have tried the recently announced changes on facebook user homepage. At first sight, you will definitely get confused unless you follow a graphical guide you’ll find at the top of the home page. But, after reviewing and actually using these updates, I found them very useful, smooth, and easy to use.

THREE MAJOR CHANGES:

1- Updates time line:

A dynamic timeline that loads the “twitter way” showing recent updates at the top. This timeline will show at the top right side for your facebook homepage. Below is a screen shot of hovering an update, and getting its details displayed:

2- Custom lists:

Have ever wanted to list your friends into limited access, close friends, workmates, family members..etc to view updates from that specific list? As well as targeting them with specific status updates or walls posts? facebook custom lists now give you this feature. Below are two screen shots I have taken while creating a list for friends interested in receiving Blog37 updates.

 

 

3- Top Stories marking

Yes, you can mark stories in the timeline to be Top Stories showing always at the top of the page. Some stories will be initially marked as Top stories, I’m not sure on what basis, but I think it’s based on the level of people interaction with that specific post/article/story. Below is a screen shot of how to set a recent story into a top story, on your own feed!

I received a tweet from a friend informing me about this new online pharmacy, DOWA, the first online pharmacy in Kuwait. To be honest, two questions popped into my mind, and I was really happy to find the answers in DOWA’s FAQs section:

This is enough for anyone to consider Dowa.co really trustworthy. Good luck guys :)

Twitter introduces Web Analytics

Twitter has announced two days ago the new Web Analytics, a tool that helps website owners to understand how much traffic is driven from twitter to their sites as well as how much of their website content is being shared over twitter. Analysis also include the effectiveness of their lately launched “Follow button“. The new tool is to be launched within the few upcoming weeks.

It’s time to CRUSH IT!

Yes, it’s the perfect time to learn how and to actually start and grow your social media using strategies and tactics that have been tested and proven by experts. An introduction to this challenge was hosted last week by Zain, and is sponsored by Burgan Bank, Zain, Cinescape, and of course is organized and managed by Al-Zanki enterprises. I  had the pleasure to meet with Mr. Khalid Al-Zanki, Mrs. Hind Al-Nahedh, the wonderful social media & PR management from Burgan Bank, and my friends from Zain, as well as a group of my fellow bloggers, and I could tell how excited they were about this challenge.

The “Crush it” series of events will end with a seminar to be presented by “Gary Vaynerchuk”, who became an online celebrity having more than 850,000 twitter followers, and the author of “Crush It” the book. I may have nothing to add to what my fellow bloggers have posted about Crush It, but if you’re a blogger.. you should not miss registering to the “Exclusive Bloggers Circle”.. register now, and crush the challenge :)

الفاتورة الإلكترونية المفصلة من زين

 

بدخولي إلى موقع شركة زين، قمت بتجربة نظام الفاتورة الالكترونية الجديد و الذي تم إطلاقه منذ فترة قصيرة و هو متاح لكافة عملاء زين الذين لديهم عضوية في الموقع الإلكتروني.

الخطوة الأولى هي بتسجيل يوزر خاص بك للرقم الرئيسي في عقدك لتتمكن من الإطلاع على كافة بيانات العقد و الخطوط المدرجة تحته، أما إذا اخترت خط معين مدرج تحت العقد و سجلت العضوية باستخدامه فانك ستحصل على كافة بيانات هذا الرقم فقط. ميزة ممتازة تتيح لصاحب العقد الاطلاع على كافة التفاصيل و أيضا الدفع لكل خط على حدة أو إجمالا لجميع الخطوط.

موقع الشركة: http://www.kw.zain.com

صفحة الملخص:

في هذه الصفحة ستجد لمحة عامة عن طريقة و كمية استخدامك للخطوط و أيضا المبالغ التي قمت بدفعها مسبقا و المبالغ المترتبة عليك حاليا.

صفحة فواتير الشهر الحالي:

في هذه الصفحة، المزيد من التفصيل حول المبالغ المستحقة على كافة خطوط العقد

صفحة تفاصيل المكالمات:

قمت بتخطي بقية الصفحات و سأركز على هذه الصفحة كونها الأكثر أهمية بالنسبة لكل المشتركين! هذه الصفحة تتيح لك تحديد أي رقم تحت العقد و استخراج كافة مكالماته و رسائله خلال فترة تصل حتى 6 شهور مضت، و أيضا تصديرها إلى ملف PDF

قمت بطلب تقرير مفصل لأحد الخطوط المدرجة في عقدي الشخصي فيما يخص فقط المكالمات المحلية، و حددت الفترة من شهر مارس و حتى إبريل الماضيين. ستظهر قائمة المكالمات على الفور بالأسفل، أما بالنسبة لنسخة الـ PDF فإنها تستغرق بعض الوقت (أخذت مني 3 دقائق تقريبا)، الجميل بالموضوع هو أن بإمكانك تسجيل الخروج بعد طلب التقرير، و إن عدت مرة أخرى ستجد نسخة الـ PDF جاهزة للتنزيل!

Coming soon: Blog37 competition!

 

I have decided to start a competition for the blog, giving away valuable prizes and gadgets, maybe free subscriptions provided by several companies. The thing is that I still have not decided what kind of competitions should it be? I’m trying to avoid “votes based” competitions… Leave a comment and suggest an idea of a competition.. and who knows! you might be the lucky winner someday!

 

I already have the support from a company. For other companies to sponsor the competitions and provide their products as giveaways, please contact me here

 

Waiting for your input!
