Not to sound too antisocial, but the new chat feature on Facebook is driving me a bit wacky. Every time I'm on Facebook now, people are bugging me. Is there some way to turn it off?

I'm an HR executive and I've very recently started using LinkedIn and found it very interesting and helpful but I'm having problems regarding how to use LinkedIn when it comes to searching for the right people, e.g. I'm particularly searching for managers, or asst.managers in IT industry. How do i locate them on LinkedIn?

I am a member of a bunch of groups on Facebook that I don't really care about any more, but I keep getting bulletins and updates in my inbox. What's the easiest way to unsubscribe from them?

I'm still falling down the well of Twitter, or is that falling into the Twitterverse? Anyway, I'd like to have a couple of different profile photos that I can switch between. Is this possible?

Hey, Dave! Is there any way to find people that twitter in a local area - like your buds in Colorado? I'd love to find someone to have coffee with occasionally here in Key West.

I read your earlier article about how to change your default MySpace profile photo, but the suggestions did not help me at all. The way your instructions were explained, they did not flow with the current MySpace screens in either "classic" or "new" mode. Can you post an updated tutorial, please?

I've signed up for Twitter and am having lots of fun with it, but every time I add someone new, all of their Tweets end up going to my cellphone as SMS text messages. This is bad, and it's driving me crazy. Is there some easy way to fix this?

I got a MySpace invitation that included a comment from the person inviting me to be friends with them and it's very cool. Very Facebook-esque. How the heck did they do that?

Now, the big question: do you need to do this for your business to be more successful as we move into 2008 and beyond?

You know you do.

The problem is, who do you turn to for trustworthy, accurate and honest answers, advice that can help you rise above the noise of your marketplace?

And how the heck can you get a free holiday in Hawaii out of the deal?

My answer to you: The Aloha Social Media Summit.

Help! I accidentally pressed the Latino MySpace button and changed my MySpace to Spanish! Now I can't change it back to English. Can you please help me change it back to English mode? Gracias!

I've been finding it tedious to go to Flickr to upload photos and am wondering if there's any way I can just email the photos to Flickr and have them automatically show up in my Flickr stream?

I read your article about how to create a nice MySpace "add me" button on my Web site and am wondering, is it possible to create those buttons, but for Message Me and Block Me?

Some of my friends on Facebook have tweaked things so that they can have their Facebook status automatically updated when they send out a new Tweet on Twitter. How the heck do they do that?

I'm continuing to dive into the world of Twitter and am a bit baffled by one thing: is there some way that I can see all replies to my messages rather than just those from people I'm following? How about even seeing the replies from the people I follow that they send to other people? Don't know if it's normal, but I follow only a fraction of the people that are following me on Twitter.

I hate to check my mailbox on MySpace because there are a half-dozen people who seem to have some spamming tool or something and send me dozens of "Request to Approve Comment" messages. What the heck is up with that and how do I block these people?

I have a nice external URL for my friends who want to find me and hopefully connect in MySpace and LinkedIn, but Facebook seems like a world unto itself. Is there some sort of URL I can use to get the same result in Facebook?

Okay, so I hear my friends talking endlessly about Twitter and figure it might be time for me to jump on the wagon too, however begrudgingly. How do I get started, Dave?

How do i send an event invite on MySpace, with a normal MySpace account?

I went on the link on how to add a friend on MySpace. I have never had a problem before but there is one profile of these guys I went to high school with that I want to add, but I have searched their page and can't find an "add as friend" link. They don't have the box of icons like most profiles do. Any ideas?

Not to sound like I'm becoming antisocial, but a woman who's on my friends list on Facebook turns out to be quite the kind of person I don't like to associate with. Can't say more than that, but I need to "defriend" her (unfriend her?) How do I do that??

I just got involved in a charity event we're planning for later in 2008 and one component of it is going to be a series of videos we release through YouTube. Is there some way that people can find out about them without us having to send out a never-ending series of press releases or updates?

I think I'm a member of every social network known to man at this point, and my two favorites remain Facebook and MySpace, believe it or not. My question: is there any way in MySpace to add Twitter-like "status" messages to my profile? Y'know, the "DarlingLil is typing in her PJs" or "Mike is wondering if the ice cream truck will drive past"?

I just read your earlier entry about sending a message to a Facebook group (see How to send a message to a Facebook group) and get most of it, except I don't really see how the "Posted Items" thing works. Can you explain?

I've created a Facebook group and have some of my pals involved now, but one of them just emailed me and asked how he can send messages to everyone. I dunno. Dave, how do I send a message to a Facebook group?

I'm slowly getting more into Facebook and just heard that there are tons of groups, just like there are on MySpace. How do I find and join a good group on Facebook?

Probably like a lot of people, I'm a member of what seems like dozens of social and professional networking sites. Of them, my favorite remains LinkedIn. But I can't add a photo and don't see photos from others. Surely there's a way for me to add a picture to my LinkedIn profile?

A pal just emailed me to complain that I have a bunch of deleted friends in my MySpace friends list. Not good. How do I zap 'em so that I only have friends who are still active members of the MySpace community?

I've seen some Facebook profiles that have very attractive slideshows of their photographs, rather than a static display of images one after the other. How can I do something like that for my own photographs?

I am just getting into Facebook and want to create a new group for my friends to join. How do I do that without getting lost in the admittedly slick, but still confusing, world of Facebook and its many, many capabilities?

This might be an easy one, Dave, but how do I leave a picture as a myspace comment?

Not sure whether this is a friend who I, um, don't remember or not, but I think I got the first spam comment on a blog entry on my MySpace weblog. Blech. Heard anything about this, Dave, and can you suggest a way for me to minimize the impact as, I'm sure, it gets worse?

Did MySpace change things so you can't modify your default picture or photograph? I changed it once before, but now I can't figure out how to update my default photo. Help!

On my friend's myspace profiles they have a color box around their comments and the text is in diffent colour too. I've asked them how they did it but they say they forgot. so how do you do it.

I have lots of MySpace friends and know that a bulletin is supposedly an efficient method of sending a message to 'em all at once. But I'm not entirely sure how to send a bulletin, and don't want to look like a n00b by doing something wrong. Can you take me through the steps, please?

Ok on Myspace, when i'm online, its not showing that i am, is there a way to change that setting so it will show my friends when i'm online??

I keep getting stupid and spammy comments on my MySpace profile and I have heard that there's some way you can actually have them all queue and manually approve them? That sounds awesome. Howzit done, Dave?

Dave, there are a bunch of new comments on my MySpace profile that link to "msplinks.com", even though they look like they're from different people. Is this some sort of unified attack on my profile or what?

I was reading a blogger blog today and saw that they had a really neat button labeled "Add me as a MySpace friend!" and when I clicked on it, it took me directly to the 'confirm you really want to be friends' page, rather than the more common, but less useful, link to my profile. I'd love to have more MySpace friends, so if you can tell me how to make this sort of button, it'd be most appreciated!!

I'm quite new to myspace and still not sure how to fully work it, I'm asking about how to upload pictures into your blogs? it doesnt seem to work for me?

Hey Dave! how do i convert an mp3 or a song to a URL. I need to know so I can upload songs into a music playlist for myspace. plleeeeaseee help me!! Thanks ;)

I'm confused. I've been using MySpace for a long time and have always had comments just show up, but suddenly I got a message that was a "Request to Approve Comment". What the heck does it mean, and what's special about this particular comment?

I've been trying various proxy servers to get to MySpace from school and sometimes they work for a while but other times they don't work at all because they're banned or blocked. What is a MySpace proxy server, how does it work and why would they work for a while and then stop?

My buddies keep telling me how many thousands of groups there are on MySpace and I know how to get to the groups area, but don't know how to find cool groups and join them. For example, I'm interested in the Hawaiian reggae scene: how do I find out if there are any groups on that?

Oh this drives me CRAZY! Someone's left a comment for me on my MySpace profile, a comment that's some terrible spam that I really hate, but I can't seem to delete it. Every time I click on the "Delete This Comment" link, the page refreshes, but the comment's still there! AUGH! How do I delete this $#@$#@ thing?

How do you change the drink/smoke detail on your myspace?? It's impossible to find and change it.

MySpace is really starting to suck. The latest problem I'm finding is that people are leaving me comments that are just weird, and seem like some sort of stupid advert for their own businesses, but they don't make sense. Do these people really think they're going to get customers from someone reading the comments on my profile?

How do I make my myspace public? I go to account settings and there is no option of making my myspace public.. what do i do?

How do you delete your school on myspace? I just realized that I have too much personally identifiable information on my profile and want to clean things up a bit...

I seem to have a high-profile MySpace account, I guess, because I get a lot of comments and friend requests. Problem is, they all end up in my regular work mailbox, which is bad. I seem to recall there's a way to turn off notifications of MySpace events, but I have no clue how to do so. Help!?

I joined a group on MySpace and really don't want to be part of the group any more, but I can't figure out how to quit or unsubscribe from the group. Can you enlighten me, please?

I'm just getting started with MySpace and see all these people leaving comments on my profile that include cool pictures. I want to do that too. How do I add pictures or photographs as comments on other people's MySpace profiles?

I feel like a loser asking u this but its driving me crazy.. i have just opened up a MySpace group for the local club in my area and i cant work out how u can show ur members on the home page.. all i have is a blank box and then a link to "view more members..." if u could help it would mean the world to me.. thank you

How do I add more than one school to MySpace under the "Visit My School Home Page"? I remember adding the current school when I 1st got this account but now I can't find out where to add more schools to it. Thank you for your help

I am a recent new user to MySpace and I've asked this question many times to various sources, including MySpace without a response from anyone. My question is this: What function on Myspace do I use to send a new friend request to someone that I see on MySpace? Here are what I assume are the choices, but which one do I use, Invite, Send Message, Add to Friends, Add to Favorites, or Friend Requests?

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that this probably is a pretty dumb question, since so many people are successfully using MySpace so I'll understand if you don't respond.

I finally figured out how to create a new group on MySpace and now I want to pimp it out with some bling. To start, how can I change the background color of the page? I'll have more questions soon, so don't go anywhere! :-)

This is really weird: when I check my inbox on MySpace, it tells me that I have three messages, but it doesn't show them to me. I see listing 1-3 of 3, but it's blank. What's up with that, Dave?

I'm pretty confused: I just got what looks like an email from MySpace that says "Jason" has sent me a song, but it points me to a completely different Web site. I attach the message: is it legit or are they phishing for my MySpace account information?

Now that I have a few dozen of my friends connected to me on myspace, how do I easily send them all messages about stuff that's going on in my life? Is there some sort of mail capability I can't find?

I just recently figured out how to add a song to my MySpace Profile, but now I want to figure out how to have the music I've selected automatically start playing when someone views my profile. is that even possible with the MySpace Stand Alone Player?

I am a new myspace user. I know what a blog is and how to create one. What I don't know is what the implications of "subscribing to the blog". What does this mean exactly, for the subscriber and subscribee. Thanks!!

I copy and pasted a myspace layout for my profile. I think other people can see the new layout but I can't see it my self when I sign in. Why is that? Is it because I have a mac?

I was reading through some of your myspace help and it's great. thanks so much for letting me tweak my background without having to slap a bunch of stupid adverts on for your site! :) While I was reading your profile on myspace [dave's profile on myspace], I noticed you had a nice effect with some text that you somehow put into a box. How did you do that??

I'm a LinkedIn enthusiast and find it a terrific tool for both professional networking and job searches at my (executive) level, but when I come back from face-to-face networking events, I often find that I hit my "outstanding invitation limit" on LinkedIn and can't invite everyone I met to link with me. Why do they have a limit and how to I increase mine?
