How To Schedule Facebook Page Status And Post Updates

By 3 Comments

As a Facebook page owner you might have realized that the number of likes and shares for a particular update depends heavily on the time of posting. You can analyse it using the Facebook page insights. Some of your exclusive contents go unnoticed simply because you posted it a time when there were hardly users online. While on the other hand, when you post it at the “peak time”, the posts are well received.

According to a , the best time to post an update is in the evening. This timing may vary depending upon page to page. As a page owner you may have some idea about the best timing of the Facebook page updates. The problem faced by the page admins is (was) how to get the most of this timing factor of post updates as one cannot always be online at that certain time. And this is why the new Facebook feature, that allows to schedule Facebook Page Status to any time in past or future, is crucial for the success of a Facebook Page.

Schedule the Page Status and Post updates:

When you write a status or post a link or photo, look for the “clock” symbol on the bottom:

Click on this “clock symbol” to schedule your update. When you click on it, it asks for the year and then month and then day and time respectively. You can provide the details to schedule the post in past or future:

Note: You must have defined the “creation date” of your page. A random date when your page or business (about which the page is) was created. If you have not defined it, it will ask to provide the date for the first attempt at “schedule feature”.

Change the scheduled update:

Once you have scheduled an update and for some reason you want to change the timing of the post, you can do so by visiting the activity log:

In the activity log, you can see the recent activities by you. You can see your scheduled update here. On the right end, there are options for changing the scheduled update to immediate post, changing the scheduled timing or cancelling the update. You can use these options to make changes in the scheduled update.

Now you can enjoy updating your Facebook page while you are partying. Cheers :)

Ten things idiots do on Facebook. Are you one of them?

By 18 Comments

I am forced to write this post after seeing so many “idiots” around me on Facebook doing weird things. Like real world, there are few etiquettes which one should follow in the cyber world, but again, like real world, some people just don’t give damn to the manners or they just are not aware that such manners do exist. Believe me there are lots of stupid things people do without even knowing it. In this post I have compiled top 10 things what idiots do on Facebook:

1. Use caps lock all the time:

How many time have you seen a person posting in upper cases? a few time for sure! Using Caps lock is equivalent to shouting but few people around us prefer to “shout”, always. They forget that they can turn that caps lock off or they simply don’t care like these two jerks here:

2. Like your own status, link, photos and whatever:

Seriously, what are you? A self obsessed narcissist? How does it sounds in Facebook ticker: “XYZ likes his/her own status”. Give a chance for others to like your status and links. Don’t be a despo.

3. Auto Update Facebook status from Twitter:

One needs to understand that Facebook and Twitter are two different kinds of Social Networks. On Twitter you keep on sharing stuff every minute, it is acceptable. Facebook is not the same. You don’t go around flooding your friends’ feeds by auto posting all your tweets as your Facebook status.

4. Spread Hoax:

I know Facebook encourages to share. I also know that you are a concerned citizen but it doesn’t mean you will share whatever craps you find might be “helpful” for public. These hoax include Facebook charging money, hidden camera stories and Facebook donation for sharing pictures and other stuff like this. Use your mind and Google (if you have doubts, check on Hoax-Slayer) before doing such idiotic stuff.

If Facebook has to donate money it will simply donate it. It won’t ask and keep an account of that gross looking picture. Grow Up.

5. Add any fake profile in the friend list:

Yes, there is a very beautiful girl in a sexy pose on the display pic and that is the foremost sign that it could be fake. Oh! She has more than 1000 friends. Most certainly fake. But you don’t care about it because you are a one despo looking for single girls all over the Facebook and/or internet. So you add or accept the request and go on commenting on her pics and liking whatever craps that profile (most probably used by an ugly-looking male) posts. Find out more about how to find fake Facebook profile.

6. Play Farmville/Mafia Wars and such other craps:

Fine! You like to play these games but why bother others? Why send them request to save your lost sheep in Farmville? Most of the people don’t give a damn if you were attacked by some goons in Mafia Wars. If you are such a game addict, create a separate Facebook profile just for playing these games and stop bothering other people in your friend-list before they start blocking you.

7. Update each and every activity on Facebook status:

So, you get up and wish Good Morning to everyone. And then you tell them what are you eating in breakfast, what are you watching, what are your day’s plan. Keep updating it hourly basis. More, also tell them how many times you pooped. Describe that in detail too! For God sake, get a life. Updating the status about interesting things, news, events or funny quotes is one thing but it is not your diary where you record each and everything.

8. Share your love, break-ups and fights:

Aww… You are a love bird. You lover her/him so much that you keep on posting love quotes throughout the day.

Oh! you had a fight. Both of you are not on talking term and now updating your Facebook status hitting out at each other directly/indirectly.

Oops.. you broke up. Now the whole world has to suffer from sad heart-broken status update.

Grow up attention seeker.

9. Pay tribute to every celebrity (without thinking of course):

Though you might have never been able to buy an original Apple product but it was your social responsibility to pay homage to Steve Jobs. You updated your status, changed your profile pic to apple or of Jobs. You shared photos praising Job’s vision and achievement.

Now you see other pics complaining that there are millions of children dying of hunger. You share the pic with hungry child on one side and Steve Jobs on the other. How great of you.

Now comes Dennis Ritchie. You might have never used Unix all your life, never programmed in C and before this day you never knew that there exists such a person but paying a tribute is a must for you. Stop being a &%$#@.

10. The rest falls in this category

There are many more crazy stuffs. List is long and increasing. This point is left empty to take care of rest such things. I encourage you to share the 10th point.
