With all the social media sites out there it’s a wonder that we have time to do much.  Most of us running a business don’t have time to monitor our Facebook Fan Pages.  Wouldn’t it be nice to know when someone has left a comment for one of your post?  I have found the perfect free tool to help you manage your social media and stay on top of the game. YouTube Video ““ Hyper Alerts Here’s how it work: Get Your Free Account at the Hyper Alerts website: http://alerts.hyperinteraktiv.no/ Set-up Your Hyper Alerts: Click on the + Add new alert button to start the process. Tell Hyper Alerts which fan page or pages you’d like to monitor.  There is no access via Facebook Connect so your personal information is not accessed. Pick your setting on what time you would like HyperAlerts to send your notification.  Hourly, Daily, Weekly or Monthly.  I would recommend that you check at least daily to keep in touch with your fans. Wait for the nifty e-mail to arrive with your notifications in a nice clean format.  Right from the e-mail you can click to view the post or you can stop getting alerts of you choose to do so.

Facebook Video Tutorial – Fan Page Tab Removal

Here’s a short Facebook video tutorial on how you can remove a tab from your Facebook Fan Page.  If you remove it on accident it is easy to add the application back to your page.  Anyone who is an admin of a fan page can edit the page going to “Edit Page” in the menu.  The fan page menu has been moved to the left side of the page.  Pick and click “Apps” from the menu and look for Notes under the list of Added Apps.  Click the “X” to the right of the application you want to remove and verify you want it removed.  Refresh your fan page and the tab of the app you removed should be gone.  Check out the video for more information and how you can re-add an app if you removed it on accident.

Get Real-Time Facebook Updates On Your Desktop

I love it when I find a cool new social media tool that I can share with friends and others.  Facebook Desktop is one of those social media tools that notifies you in real-time when friends post something new to Facebook, updates their status, comments on your photos and more.  All this without the need for a browser and its not intrusive when it notifies you.   Notifications show on the right side of your screen briefly and then fade out of sight.  If you miss a notification you can have it replay the last five updates.  Users can also pause updates or adjust settings accordingly to lessen the amount of updates. You can download Facebook Desktop to your desktop free of charge.  It installs within a few minutes.
