Found two new updates to Facebook over the weekend. Here’s a video I made explaining these updates:

Google Voice and Vonage Tips

I love Vonage! I love Google Voice! And I found they play very well together. Here’s how I have it set up: I use Vonage for my home phone and Google Voice for my business. What this means is I give out my Google Voice number as my “business” number. When someone dials my Google Voice business number, the call is automatically forwardd to my Vonage number and cell phone. And as of just a few days ago, the call can be answered via Gmail! When I want to make an outbound business call, instead of just picking up the phone and dialing… I use Google Voice to place...

Google Voice Caller ID in Gmail

Posted by Donna Serdula on Aug 30, 2010 in Social Media | 1 comment

I’ve been using Google Voice for about a year now. It was by far the easiest way of getting a second number without paying a dime!

Hide Friends, Pages, Applications from your Facebook Newsfeed

Posted by Donna Serdula on Aug 19, 2010 in Social Media | 0 comments

One of the things that came up on during my Social Networking Etiquette to Business Success presentation was a question on how to graciously defriend people on Facebook. I suggested instead of defriending someone, instead hide them from your newsfeed. OR if the person is sending out way too many game announcements and updates, hide the game applications. No one seemed to be aware that this was possible. Here are the steps to those who want to start hiding people, pages and applications from their Facebook...
