What do you think of UNTHINK?

Today UNTHINK, a new Social Network was launched or as the company calls itself on their Twitter bio "UNTHINK is not another social network; it's a social revolution. Our mission is to emancipate social media and unleash people's extraordinary potential". Tons of people have received an invite code including myself (unfortunately I'm working right now), and their servers are being hammered. I guess everyone is curious to see how they can emancipate themselves. Unthink has made it very clear who their competitors are in all their promotional videos. If the site itself is as creative as the videos then I think their competitors will have a run for their money.

Check out their videos:





I'm waiting to get home and be able to play with it and give my own opinion on it, but if anyone else out there has been able to play with it, let us know your opinion. I'll be writing my own review in a few days, so until then.

Can I unfollow a post on Facebook to stop notifications?

Yes, you can. You can unfollow statuses, photos, videos, links, and I think pretty much anything else. The trick is that you won't see the Unfollow Post from the wall (pretty soon called timeline). You have to access just that piece of information to see it, and with that I mean if it's something like a photo or video you'll need to click on it to display it.

If it's a link or status you'll need to click on the notification.
.

You'll then see the Unfollow Post link like in this example:

What I've noticed though is that you either have to be the person who posted the information or you've left a comment on someone else's post in order to see the Unfollow Post. Oh and don't worry, if you ever want to reverse the action you can always go back to the post and click Follow Post.

Now since in Facebook several things work together, if you still see notifications for things you've unfollowed, check your notification settings.

Hope this little tip helps in cutting down the notifications on those pesky post. Let me know what else you would like to know in the comment section.

Are you getting bombarded with notifications on Facebook updates? Check out why!

You probably are and that's because Facebook just launched a couple of days ago a new subscription feature available for personal profiles that let's you subscribe to your friends updates. When you subscribe to updates you are actually deciding what information is shown on your newsfeed for each friend. Unfortunately when they turned this feature on you ended up subscribed to a slew of friend's which is now causing a slew of notifications.
So now it's up to you to decide what information you want to view on your newsfeed, and subscribe or unsubscribe. Just keep in mind, if you unsubscribe to a friend you won't see any updates on your newsfeed.
Here's how you can update your subscriptions:
1. Click Subscriptions.

2. Click Friend Subscriptions.

3. Click Subscribed.

4. Checkmark how many updates you want to view. 

• All updates: Like word says ALL your friend posts
• Most updates:  Equivalent to what you see today
• Important updates only: Stuff like new job, or move

5. Checkmark or uncheck the kind of updates you want to view (status, life events, photos and videos, comments and likes, or other activities).

If you don't want to see any updates for certain friends then select Unsubscribe.
Hope this helps you! Let us know what else you would like to know about Facebook in the comment section.

In your eyes, what makes someone a great blogger?

To me, to be a great blogger means you love to write and share, you have knowledge of something, you probably have a pretty good sense of humor and wit, and of course good writing skills, but most importantly to me, you have a passion.

It's just not about writing about a random thought, it's not about writing just about something you see. To me it takes a passion and love to something that is so great that you must share it with others. It's like a burning sensation that needs to flow out of your body, and the only way out is through your thoughts and words.

It may be a passion for teaching, maybe a passion for sharing, for politics, for beauty, for animals, but it definitely needs to exist with in you, in your heart and soul.
