Schedule Your Facebook Status With Hootsuite

I have been using Ping.fm to post Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace & Plaxo updates for my clients.  What I have always wanted was a (free) way to schedule these updates.  Similar to what SocialOomph does for your Tweets.  With SocialOomph (previously known as TweetLater) you can schedule your Tweets far in advance which makes for promoting my clients events much easier.

Finally, HootSuite has come to the rescue and now are providing a new service where you can schedule your status updates on many social networking sites.  This has really made my job a lot easier as I don’t have to ‘remember’ to post a specific status update daily.  The great news is that you can even schedule updates to your Facebook Fanpages as well, yippie.

Facebook Photo Privacy

You can adjust the settings for your the photo albums you post on Facebook, and even for the photos that your friends tag you in.  To adjust the settings you will need to do the following.

  1. Create separate lists of your contacts.  These lists can be as simple as “friends”, “family” or “co-workers” etc.
  2. Go to Settings > Privacy Settings > Profile Information > Photo Albums
  3. Next locate Photo Albums from the list and click on the Edit Settings Button

All of your photo albums will now appear and from the drop down lists you can select who can see your photos, but you can take that a step further by actually selecting specific lists from not seeing your photo albums.

As you can see in my Mobile Uploads I have blocked my Networking & Co-workers list from seeing these photos.  When they go to my photos, that particular album will not appear in my Photo tab.

To block a list of people from seeing a photo album select “customize” from the drop down list type in the name of the list.

To block specific lists of people from seeing photos and videos that you have been tagged in you will pretty much do the same thing.

Go to Settings > Privacy Settings > Profile Information > Photos and Videos of Me

Select the edit button and adjust your settings as necessary. If you want to block a specific list of people you can just type in the name of the list in the “Hide this from” section.
