Facebook is a social networking site that is enormously popular, but it can be a frustrating user experience. The design of Facebook leaves a lot to be desired and there are almost too many choices for things to do on Facebook. Also some of the more popular Facebook activities are trivial instead of useful - throwing sheep is an oft-quoted example.
Having said that, there's no doubt that Facebook is a powerful social networking tool. So how can you best utilize it and find the good apps? In this post we aim to find out. We'll be focusing specifically on social activities, rather than the many other potential uses of Facebook (work, brand management, etc).
Tip 1: Update Your Status Regularly
This is a simple thing to do to keep your Facebook profile active. Right at the top of the page there is a place where you can "write something." Usually a comment about what you're doing or thinking. Once a day, or even once every few days, is enough. But update it enough to keep your page interesting.
Tip 2. Use Groups (a.k.a. Lists in Facebook Terminology)
Groups are a core feature of social networking on the Web. To effectively use Facebook, we recommend you set up some groups so that you can filter content. One person who does this very well is our own Marshall Kirkpatrick. Marshall says that he generally scans his Facebook homepage first, then clicks to his groups for family and old friends from school. He noted that "this way most of my time spent on Facebook isn't re-reading the same things I've already read on Twitter."
There is a bit of a trick to setting this groups feature up. Facebook calls this feature "lists," probably to differentiate them from its other Groups feature (which have been usurped by 'Pages' now). Confused? Get used to it, Facebook navigation is awful.
To set lists up for your Facebook account, go to your Facebook homepage and click the "more" link on the left-hand sidebar. You will see a link entitled "Create new list" at the bottom - click on that to create a new group.
Tip 3: Add Your Content From Other Sources (Carefully...)
In this day and age, you are likely creating content in more than a few places on the Web. This ranges from the extreme cases (early adopters who have personal RSS feeds coming out their ears), to those who may just use YouTube and a couple of other niche social websites.
Many early adopters use FriendFeed to aggregate their 'lifestream' of content from multiple sources.Facebook just bought FriendFeed, so expect to see it integrated into Facebook over time. As of now, if you have more than a few content sources and they aren't necessarily the well-known ones like YouTube or Last.fm, then you'll need to use FriendFeed or an equivalent lifestreaming product to aggregate those feeds. But if you find FriendFeed just a bit too geeky (and many people do), then you can adequately enrich your Facebook profile with external content.
One thing we'd caution, which this author took too long to notice: don't pipe your FriendFeed content into Facebook if you aggregate a lot of content into FriendFeed! It quickly overpowers your Wall and will likely annoy the friends you have who also subscribe to your FriendFeed.
To add external content to Facebook, on your Wall page click the 'Options' link on the top right. Then click 'Settings.'
You can then choose to "import stories" to your Facebook wall from a select number of sites: Flickr, Digg, YouTube and others.
You can add content from other external sources to Facebook by clicking the 'application settings page' link further down the page.
Tip 4: Brighten Up Your Profile With Photos and Videos
This almost goes without saying, but adding multimedia makes your Facebook profile interesting and attractive.
If instead of Facebook you usually use a specialist photo site (like Flickr) or video site (like Vimeo), then you'll need to search around for ways to export your files. I use Flickr and didn't find a satisfactory way to export photos from Flickr to Facebook's Photo albums. But via my Twitter networkI managed to discovered a plug-in for iPhoto, which allows Mac users to bulk export from iPhoto to Facebook.
Tip 5: Search Out the Best Facebook Apps
Ever since Facebook became a development platform back in May 2007, thousands of apps have been built to add to your Facebook page. As noted in the introduction, these range from trivial (e.g. sheep throwing) to very useful. The best tip here is to find apps that complement your interests.
Our advice is to search the directory for keywords of interest to you. The quality of apps varies greatly and often there are errors (at least I came across them several times when researching this article). When you find an app you like, you can add it to your profile. I added an Art app recently, for example.
You can browse a user's apps by clicking the oddly-named 'Boxes' tab on their profile page.

These days it’s difficult to find good PTC sites that are stable. Every day many new PTC sites comes out and people register in them and start clicking on the ADS. All seems to go smoothly in the beginning, till after a little while …
Then the PTC site becomes a scam site or a sponzi site.
A scam site is that you have lost some or everything of your invested money. An example: You register in a site and you buy Premium Membershipment of let’s say $80.00 yearly. You start clicking the ADS and maybe you have also some referrals already. After 2 months the PTC site is dead. Or it still exists, but doesn’t payout anymore. You have maybe earned something back of your money let’s say 3 payouts of $10.00 = $30.00 You will see that you are scammed for $50.00
A sponzi site is a PTC site, where you first need to pay for premium membershipment, before you can start requesting payouts. So free members can’t request any payout anymore. You first need to invest money, like for example $80.00 yearly. This will take much time, before you start making some profits. There’s also no need to say, that a sponzi site can also turn into a scam site ! So, be very carefull with sponzi sites as well.
Anyway … below is an updated list of good PTC sites to start with.

BUXP REGISTRATION EMAIL PROBLEMS: When you have received your registration email, copy the clickable link in a new browser. It’s possible there’s a piece of php code on the end of the link (just after the long code) and it looks like this (< br) You need to remove that: < br
The sites below are new. They are paying … but I would recommend to wait with investing, till the site is longer alive. But it’s sure not a problem for testing the site by clicking theire ads and earning so, some extra money.

What Is PeopleString? A Social Networking Site That PAYS you whether
you are a free member or not.
You get paid for doing stuff you already do anyway! Ingenious!
You have a clear choice with PeopleString.com: Earn a part-time income
or build a large full-time income. This is an important decision that can
impact your financial future for the rest of your life. Either choice is
perfect and can be changed at anytime. Let’s take a look at the steps you
will need to take to implement the choice you make:
Option #1: Part-Time Income Earner
Join as a Free Member
* Log onto your account and set your PeopleString website as your
“home page” to maximize your earnings potential. Click on “Make
People String Your Home Page” at the top left of your website and
select “Use this webpage as your only home page”.
* Activate your account to start viewing ads and to get paid:
Step 1: Click on the MailBox- Cashbox button and take a few moments
to complete the survey. Once completed and submitted you’ve earned
your first $1.53. This is a vital step because advertisers are ready to
send you mail based upon your personal likes and interests.
Step 2: Once you have completed the survey, you’ll get a postcard in
the mail which verifies your address. This post card provides an “Activation”
code that you will enter at your PeopleString website. Click on the
MailBox- Cashbox button – then enter the “Activation” code. Once you
enter this “Activation” code, advertisers will start sending you ads at
your website and through the mail. You will be paid between 30 cents
and $3.00 for each ad you view. When you have accumulated $25.00 in
earnings, a check will be sent to you or deposited in your PayPal account.
* The more you use your PeopleString website to link to your
email accounts like Yahoo and Gmail, link to your favorite
websites, do Google searches, access other social networking
sites, etc, the more money you earn. 70% of all PeopleString
advertising revenues go to PeopleString Members! Your share of that
70% is determined by the People Points you earn when using your
website. Each time you log in, log out, search, click, shop, (basically
navigate the site), you will see your People Points grow. The more
People Points you have, the larger your share of the revenue. You
don’t have to buy anything to earn these points.
Just use your PeopleString website to do everything you already do online.
* Your free PeopleString membership is loaded with some awesome
technology that is free. You should access all of your on-line navigation
from your PeopleString website. You can access all of your existing
email accounts, instant messaging, social networks, and favorite links
from your website, plus you have the “World’s Coolest Email” with
features like: self-destruct, tracking, re-callable and the awesome video
email. The more you use these free features, the more money you earn.
Don’t forget to check your peoplestring email account for the welcome
letter from the company. Your affiliate link will be included – this is what
you will use to refer your friends and others!
Earn MORE money
It’s easy. Every time you enroll a free member, you earn 50 cents.
Click on the “Refer a Friend” button at your website. Enter their email
address and add a short message, if you like, then click “Refer”. The email
they receive will include your sign-up link. When they become members,
you are paid 5% of their earnings every month! Send referrals to all
your friends and contacts. There’s more: When the people you personally
enrolled sign-up new members, you are paid 2% of their earnings – down
to six levels! This could result in a substantial residual income for you
(see chart below).
So, how much Money can you make?
As you share PeopleString with others, your string will grow and so will
your earnings. How much you earn will depend on how many people are
in your string, and how much they earn. A part-time income could grow
into a significant amount. You get the idea! As your string grows, you
earn more. The following chart gives you an idea of how much you can
earn as a free member:
Assumptions
* You put in a good effort and enroll 100 people for free and get your
string going on its own momentum (not hard to do when it is free to join
with nothing to buy or sell).
* Everyone is earning just $50 per month in income from their personal
activities online (conservative estimate).
* On average, each person enrolls just two new people (very conservative).
Increase your learning curve
Stay in touch with your sponsor and Entrepreneur (all your up-line
Entrepreneurs are listed in the “Tools” section of your website). Get
your questions answered. Learn more about the people behind PeopleString,
and their plans for the future, by attending free webinars and training calls.
PeopleString sends you emails each week with that week’s webinar and training

How do you remain active?
Free members remain active as long as they log in to the site at
least once per month. Remember, People String rewards its
members for activity, so make sure you visit your People String
site on a regular basis – like all of the time.
Make People String your home page.
Option #2: Full-Time Income Earner
Implement all the actions listed above
* Become an “Entrepreneur”
Entrepreneurs are people who recognize the HUGE potential of
PeopleString. These people see that giving things of value away
for free, while making money without anyone having to buy or sell
anything is a tremendous formula for success. They are people who
are determined to create a lucrative full-time income while blessing
the lives of others.
Entrepreneurs receive all the benefits of a free membership, plus
great tools and support to operate a successful business venture.
An Entrepreneur earns substantially higher commissions (20% on Level 1
and 6% on Levels 2-6), plus many other goodies. There is a $200 investment
to become an Entrepreneur (good for two years at the time of writing this post).
How much can you earn?
How many people can you personally enroll?
How many people will they enroll–more than two on average?
What if the average individual income is actually $100?, $500?, More?
Are you already an Entrepreneur?
We are in the business of helping people manifest their dreams. The more we
serve others, the greater the reward in our own lives. PeopleString is a fantastic
way to help others, because it is something anyone can succeed at—yes, anyone!
Anyone with a computer can spend a little time each week looking at
advertisements and getting paid to do it! Anyone can tell their friends
and family how to join something that is free. Anyone can share with
others how they are making money.
So, these are the questions to ask yourself: “Do you want to participate
and profit from the birth of a new internet marketing concept that is going
to literally rock the world of online social networking?
Will you do what it takes to achieve success?
Do you love to see others achieve success with your help?
If you answered “yes”, then you should become an Entrepreneur
as quickly as possible. You can upgrade at any time and start earning
the higher percentages from that point forward.
If “YES”, things to do once you are an Entrepreneur
1. Contact, via email, all the Entrepreneurs in your up-line support
group. The list is in the TOOLS section of your website. Let them know
you are serious and ask who would be available for 3-way calls with you
and your first few business builder prospects.
2. Create your own domain name. You can use the words “PeopleString”
in the domain name. Best price for a domain name is www.GoDaddy.com
(about $9.00 per year).
3. Contact Adam at PeopleString Support to get your Entrepreneur signup
“splash” page set up. Adam is at adam@peoplestring.com.
4. Start contacting everyone you know and look for opportunities to tell
others about PeopleString. Give them your domain name. Send them a
message from your website. Create a Video Email at your PeopleString
Mail to tell prospects a little about PeopleString (make sure you add a
message with the link to your domain). Order some of the postcards at
your website to give to people. The more people you talk to about
PeopleString, the more money you will earn.
5. Participate in as many company training webinars as you possibly can.
Stay up to-date by joining the weekly Entrepreneur Leadership webinars
and pass along important information to your serious people.
6. Look at everything on our team training websites. Watch the videos
(they are short). Listen to the archived conference calls, etc.
There are some great tools at these sites and they are free.
Go here: http://www.topteamtraining1.com and www.peoplestringtraining4u.com.
7. Be creative about how to get the PeopleString story in front of people—
hundreds or thousands of people. Most of all, HAVE FUN!
This is going to blow Facebook and the rest out of the water. Current estimates
are that PeopleString will potentially have hundreds of millions of members in
a matter of months.
How many of those members will be enrolled by you or someone in your
pay-line? Hundreds or maybe thousands? Why not?
