Is it possible to know who visited my Facebook profile page?


Do they really list out the profile visitors as they claim??..well lets find out..
There have recently been a lot of applications that have been coming up which say that they provide the service of finding out the profile stalkers on your profile.Well do they really work?..If you tried them you would surely have known the answer.
Facebook clearly state in their so called “terms of service” that they do not permit any kind of service that allows the users to view their profile visitors like in orkut and also do not allow the applications that claim to offer suck services due to violation of conditions.Hence there is no application in facebook that can track your profile visitors, and even if it come up,it is sure to get banned by facebook under the violation of conditions of facebook.

These so called profile tracker applications tell us to click on some specific link that then redirects the page to the spammers website url or could even spam your facebook page.So then this results in displaying the spam link onto your friends wall with surprising phrase like “oh my god..i just found out my profile stalkers” or like “click this link to find out who viewed your profile” and many more, then even your friends do the same mistake of trying out the link and falling for the trap.So the spam link spreads through facebook users from friends to friends until its deactivated by the facebook authorities.

Finally it is clear that there does not exist any kind of facebook application that tracks the visitors information,and even if there is,its sure to get banned within days or hours by facebook authorities.So even if you do try out the application link. Delete the application or remove the application from your profile as quick as possible to avoid any further harm to your facebook account.Cheers

There is no doubt that Facebook has stated in recent years, as well as a platform to entertain social relations with friends and acquaintances, even as a powerful marketing tool to promote their applications, websites, products, etc. There are several Facebook applications and do not pay, let’s see some.
Payvment E-Commerce Storefront
Perhaps the best free solution to create a true e-commerce on your Fan Page! The purchase is made through the application with shopping cart and checkout system with payment via PayPal.
Highly customizable, allows you to manage categories, products and orders. Interesting is the possibility of discounts to those who became fans of the page.
Everything is totally free; you should not pay any commission or percentage. It is available in many languages.

Payvment’s E-Commerce Storefront is just one of many applications that are on Facebook and allows you to create a real online store on the popular social network.
This application comes complete with all the tools for the purpose, including an administration area to manage the store very easily and the products directly from Facebook.
Pavyment (currently in English unfortunately) it interfaces with PayPal to handle secure payments and is completely free to use: create categories of your products, upload photographs, provided the terms of sale, shipping costs, and offer discounts much much more.
Why choose Pavyment for creating an ecommerce site with Facebook integration?
The real advantage of this application is obvious: once your store can integrate it into a page and invite all your friends to visit (so you have more friends the better) or alternatively you can promote it through a listing fee. This does not mean that you should run a parallel site on any platform as Open cart or Magento.
One of the most interesting features of Pavyment is that your online store is integrated with all the other stores in the network, so if a user puts a product in your shopping cart, store and although change will finalize a purchase will find it in the list of objects from pay.
We believe that this application constitutes an excellent opportunity for that runs a business selling online especially since Facebook is a very crowded place and a place to exchange the information in this case on your products, very fast.
To start your own online store visit: http://www.facebook.com/payvment
ShopTab
This Application fee allows you to insert a Tab with the products of your e-commerce, taking them directly to feed. There will then need to enter them one by one.
Unlike the previous app, adding to the cart and payment not made on Facebook by clicking on a product, you will be sent to the file on your site.
Storefront respective
Much like the previous one: it lets you import products through feed and manage the categories. Each product links directly to the card of your ecommerce.
Ecwid
Ecwid is free software to integrate an ecommerce on your site. With this app you can put a tab on your page with the entire ecommerce, complete with shopping cart and checkout.
BigCommerce SocialShop
With this application, those who use the platform to pay BigCommerce may insert a tab on your page, showing all products for sale.

How to Handle Facebook Addiction








While Facebook addiction is not a recognized condition, there has been increasing concern from Facebook users -- and those who care about them -- that Facebook can be addictive and that Facebook use carries several potentially harmful effects.
It's important to know that addiction has a number of characteristics, including the amount of time spent on the behavior, the exclusion of other behaviors, and the negative impact on important areas of life. Remember, many people log on to Facebook every day with no harmful consequences. But if you or someone you care about seems to be becoming addicted to Facebook, or is developing problems related to Facebook use, here are some suggestions for dealing with them.
Please note, these suggestions do not constitute medical advice, and you should consult your doctor if you think you may have a genuine physical or psychological problem.

1. Problem: Too Much Time Spent on Facebook

The first step is to establish how much time is spent on Facebook. Even if you are looking at Facebook every day, you may not be using Facebook excessively.
Start by using my tips for students using the internet. Your total screen time – excluding work and school-related computer use – should not exceed two hours per day. This includes television and texting.
Solution: If you are spending more than two hours per day on screen time, and you think Facebook is the culprit, decide how much time you can realistically spend on Facebook, while allowing for the rest of your screen time to stay within 2 hours. Then choose the time of day you will log onto Facebook. For example, you could allow yourself half an hour in the evening each day, or you could divide it into 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening. Then use a timer and stop when the alarm tells you time is up.

2. Problem: Facebook Becoming Too Important

Think about whether Facebook time has become the most important thing in your life, compared to other activities, including work, school, recreation, real time with friends and family, and other interests. If Facebook is top of the list, there might be a problem developing. And if other activities are being given up to provide more time for Facebook use, there is definitely a problem with prioritizing.
Pay special attention to the following:
  • Are you neglecting your hygiene, need for exercise, or healthy eating?
  • Are you isolating yourself by spending time on Facebook rather than having real life relationships?
  • Are you failing at school or work, because of spending too much time on Facebook?

These can turn into serious harms that can cause real problems in a person’s life.
Solution: Make a list of all the things you would like to be doing, instead of spending time on Facebook. Then start to plan your time with at least one activity you would like to be doing instead of spending time of Facebook each day. For example, if you would like to read a book, but haven’t had time, take the book with you when you go out, and take it out and read it during your break instead of logging onto Facebook. The activities you use to replace Facebook time can be quite small, but make sure you follow through and do at least one every day. And three meals a day, a shower every day, and regular bathroom visits should take place every day.

3. Problem: Facebook Is Hurting Your Feelings

Facebook can start out nice, but quickly turn nasty. Sometimes, people can become very upset and preoccupied with things that are posted up on Facebook. Have any of the following happened to you?
  • Have you lost sleep over something someone has posted up on Facebook?
  • Have you been cyber-stalked, or cyber-bullied on Facebook?
  • Have you received a sext through Facebook?
  • Have you been upset by someone else tagging a picture of you on Facebook?

Solution: Never accept a friend request from someone you do not know. Unfriend anyone who has cyber-stalked, cyber-bullied, or sexted you on facebook immediately, and add them to your blocked list. If you have a large number of Facebook friends, combining work relationships and acquaintances, open a LinkedIn account and move all your professional contacts to that account. You can email them to explain you are using LinkedIn for your professional network, and Facebook for close friends and family. Then delete anyone you don’t trust or know well. If one of your friends repeatedly posts comments you find disturbing or offensive, you can hide their comments without unfriending them. Check out the privacy settings to prevent others being able to see tagged photos of you.

4. Problem: Facebook is Bringing Out Your Bad Side

Some people are bothered by the way Facebook can bring out their bad side. Whether it is posting comments that hurt others’ feelings, posting up pictures that show you in a bad light, or generally getting a little too nosy with other people’s business, sometimes your fingers can type a little faster than your brain can think through the possible short- and long-term effects.
Solution: If you feel Facebook is bringing out your bad side, it might be time for a hiatus. Quit Facebook for a month, then try again, with some boundaries for yourself about what you will and won’t do online.

what is social networking?



social networking
Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision, if you will. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is most popular online.
This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other people, to gather and share first-hand information and experiences about cooking, golfing, gardening, developing friendships professional alliances, finding employment, business-to-business marketing and even groups sharing information about baking cookies to the Thrive Movement. The topics and interests are as varied and rich as the story of our universe.

When it comes to online social networking, websites are commonly used. These websites are known as social sites. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Depending on the website in question, many of these online community members share common interests in hobbies, religion, politics and alternative lifestyles. Once you are granted access to a social networking website you can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading the profile pages of other members and possibly even contacting them.

The friends that you can make are just one of the many benefits to social networking online. Another one of those benefits includes diversity because the internet gives individuals from all around the world access to social networking sites. This means that although you are in the United States, you could develop an online friendship with someone in Denmark or India. Not only will you make new friends, but you just might learn a thing or two about new cultures or new languages and learning is always a good thing.

As mentioned, social networking often involves grouping specific individuals or organizations together. While there are a number of social networking websites that focus on particular interests, there are others that do not. The websites without a main focus are often referred to as "traditional" social networking websites and usually have open memberships. This means that anyone can become a member, no matter what their hobbies, beliefs, or views are. However, once you are inside this online community, you can begin to create your own network of friends and eliminate members that do not share common interests or goals.

As I'm sure you're aware, there are dangers associated with social networking including data theft and viruses, which are on the rise. The most prevalent danger though often involves online predators or individuals who claim to be someone that they are not. Although danger does exist with networking online, it also exists in the real world, too. Just like you're advised when meeting strangers at clubs and bars, school, or work -- you are also advised to proceed with caution online.

By being aware of your cyber-surroundings and who you are talking to, you should be able to safely enjoy social networking online. It will take many phone conversations to get to know someone, but you really won't be able to make a clear judgment until you can meet each other in person. Just use common sense and listen to your inner voice; it will tell you when something doesn't feel right about the online conversations taking place.

Once you are well informed and comfortable with your findings, you can begin your search from hundreds of networking communities to join. This can easily be done by performing a standard internet search. Your search will likely return a number of results, including MySpace, FriendWise, FriendFinder, Yahoo! 360, Facebook, Orkut, and Classmates.
