I read through your article on how to friend someone on Facebook, but what you list is out of date and needs to be rewritten for the latest interface. There isn't a Friends menu and I can't figure out how to invite friends. How do you invite new people to Facebook via their email address like we used to be able to do?...

I don't have a blog, I don't have a fancy Web site and I don't have a profile on MySpace or Facebook, but I do get people coming to my simple little four-page Web site and I'd like to learn more about them. My sister says I want to run some "analytics" program, but I'm clueless. I can edit HTML, but what do I add?...

Ok, I get you like small form-factor cameras because having one with you is better than having a pro rig that's in the closet at home, but which camera do you suggest for an advanced amateur photographer? I take a lot of pictures of our [dog, cat, ferret, parakeet, hamster, kids] to send to grandparents and post on Facebook, but want to be able to shoot really good quality pictures too, not just snapshots. What...

I read your earlier article on how to unfriend someone on Facebook, but my Facebook interface doesn't look at all like yours. I think your stuff's just out of date, Dave. Can you update this for the new Facebook 2.0 (2010?) interface? Thanks!...

This is going to sound dumb, but a few days ago I posted a joke and got a ton of great responses (comments) from my friends. Now I want to show my girlfriend and can't find it because all I see is my most recent status update on my Wall. So, what the heck? How do I find my older stuff?...

We have two admins to a fan page (for a mothers of twins club) and were wondering how we could comment on our fan page as ourselves and not as the page admin? Every once in a while it would be better for us to interject a comment as ourselves versus the admin. How can you choose what profile you comment under?...

A couple of my MySpace friends have super cool new profile layouts and when I asked them was told that it's just the new MySpace interface. Uh, it isn't on my account. How can I get to this new interface where I can pick a more modern layout and appearance?...

I've been using the Web-based interface to Google's Gmail service on my iPhone 3GS and am wondering if there's a way to access some of the many folders (well, Google calls them labels, but I think of them as folders) I have set up from within that interface?...

I run a Facebook group and am considering switching it to a Facebook fan page, but I don't think it'll address my basic problem: how do I make a Facebook group or fan page interesting and lively to my online community? Do I need to have giveaways? Spend an hour each day making new postings? What's the secret, Dave?...

Now that I have a bunch of apps on my new Apple iPhone 3GS, I want to change what's where in the most efficient manner possible: dragging back and forth isn't my idea of fun when there are three screens full of icons! What's the best approach for reordering my apps on the iPhone?...

Kind of a weird request, but I'm wondering if there's a way to minimize my logins when I'm at an Internet Café so that I can log in to one service, like Gmail, and be automatically logged in to Facebook?...

My mom keeps checking out what sites I visit and I want to clean up my tracks. It's not that I'm going anywhere I shouldn't - of course - but I just really want some privacy and just want to be able to wipe my MSIE8 (Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0) browsing history. How do I do that?...

I read that you can now respond to Facebook comments via email, which is pretty cool when you don't have a fancy smartphone. My question is, how does it work?...

I'm becoming paranoid about people tracing what I do online and have decided that one proactive step I can take is to delete all of my "cookies" in MSIE [Microsoft Internet Explorer]. Will that work, and if so, how do I delete these pesky cookies?...

This is a guest article written by freelance programmer Ville-Matti Hakanpää In this brief introductory tutorial I will go through some basic aspects of Facebook application development. The work itself is basic app programming, but it's a whole new world and environment. If you have a wonderful idea, Facebook can work as a great distribution channel for you. Heck, even a bad idea can get some attention fast! Start out with the most basic of...

I'm experimenting by switching from Safari on my Mac OS X system to Google's new Chrome system (well, actually I am running Chromium, the software build release that includes support for extensions) and the one thing I really miss is 1Password. Is there any way to add that to Chrome??...

I'm trying to be efficient with my time, Dave, but somehow I end up forgetting about Twitter as I work on LinkedIn and play on Facebook. I know that I'm supposed to be involved in all the big social networks, but who has the time? Is there some way that status updates from LinkedIn can at least show up in my Twitter account [ed: "twitterstream" is what we hardcore folk call it] without me having...

I work for a small manufacturer and our product brand is a registered trademark. I recently created a facebook fan page and when I went to set a custom facebook fan page shortcut I found out that the name was already taken. What the heck? How can we file a complaint with Facebook so we can recover our trademark and prevent someone else from using it??...

Okay, this is crazy. My friend and I both have Apple iPhones. We both have Facebook accounts, and we both have the Facebook app for the iPhone. On his, however, if he shakes his phone it gets the latest data from his Live Feed, but on mine, nothing happens when I do that. Is my iPhone 3GS busted, or what??...
