It’s possible to add more than 200 photos to a single Facebook album

Ever wanted to add more than photos to a Facebook album than the 200 limit would allow?

Well, it is possible to have quite a few more pictures than typically allowed.

Teqnolog created one such excess album here:

The album has 11 pages instead of the traditional ten, and holds 212 photos.

So how was it done?

Error. Error on the part of Facebook.

When the on-site photo uploader doesn’t work correctly and begins to reload previous shots in an effort to ensure that they were all uploaded, sometimes the numbers can slip beyond 200.

In some experiments, the number of pictures uploaded into one album was well beyond 212 even.

Have you been able to recreate the experience? Post links to your albums in the comments.

Despite fewer users, Twitter users share 19X more content

Facebook has four times more users than Twitter in the U.S. but Twitter users share 19 times more content. How is the social underdog slamming Facebook in the link business? Let’s take a look.

Sharing content is big business on the Internet. Blogs like Gizmodo, news sites like CNN, and even online stores like iTunes, get a hefty percentage of daily traffic through social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

Badges embedded in content allow readers to easily retweet or share with their friends, but until now the numbers have been heavily lopsided toward Twitter for some unexplained reason.

While Facebook is the reigning king of the socialsphere with more than 300 million users worldwide (and approximately 90m in the U.S.), Twitter lags behind with only 80 million users worldwide (including 20m in the U.S.).

Scanning the front page of technology sites TechCrunch and Mashable on any given day, it’s obvious that stories are receiving far more attention from Twitter users.

Mashable stories, for instance, were tweeted 20,092 times but only shared 1,628 times. On TechCrunch, stories were tweeted 5,253 times yet shared on Facebook just 187 times.

So what are the possible causes of such staggering statistics? Continue reading ‘Despite fewer users, Twitter users share 19X more content’

Your social point-of-view says a lot about you.

Picture 10

What does your social point of view (POV) reveal about you?

As status updates and tweets become more popular in online social networks, how we write is often just as important as what we say, whether it’s in 140 characters or more.

Before determining what your own social point of view is, it’s incredibly important to understand where point of view comes from: Continue reading ‘Your social point-of-view says a lot about you.’
