Five Notable Facebook Limitation Facts

May 29, 2009

If you are on Facebook, you may or may not be aware of the following five notable Facebook limitation facts that exist as of this date:

1) You can have up to 5,000 friends on a personal profile.

2) You can belong to 300 groups max.

3) If you manage a group, you can no longer send messages to your members after you reach 5,000 members.

4) You can “be a fan” of 500 pages max from your personal profile.

5) If you have a Fan Page, there are no limitations to how many fans you can have .

- NOTE:  “Facebook Pages allow artists, businesses, and brands to showcase their work and interact with fans. These pages come pre-installed with custom functionality designed for each category. For example, a band Page has a music player, video player, discography, reviews, tour dates, a discussion board that the artists can take advantage of.” – Facebook

If you have your own business or organization, or you are a celebrity, artist, musician or band, creating a Fan Page is the way to go.

Unfortunately though, unless you are a major brand, Facebook has not yet provided an automatic friendly URL for sharing purposes to easly navigate to specific Fan Pages.  Until the option arises, you can utilize the “Memorable Web Address” application or an URL shortening site like tinyurl.com or bit.ly for sharing easily.  You can take it a step further with tinyurl and create a custom tinyurl, although bit.ly has the ability to provide the option of monitoring how many click-through’s your link has received.

As an example, Virtually Ready has used http://companies.to/virtuallyready and http://tinyurl.com/BeOurFan for sharing our Fan Page easily.

Virtually Ready Takes On Social Web Presence for John Taglieri LIVES Project

May 26, 2009

When musician John Taglieri asked Virtually Ready to customize and expand on his social web presence for the new LIVES EP & book project, we were very happy to work with him.

“Working with John is always a great experience, so I was eager to get started on the project right away”, says Lisa Duhamel, owner of Virtually Ready, Inc., a virtually operated web presence solutions company based in Land O’ Lakes, FL – just outside of Tampa.

Knowing that the social web plays a very important role in online strategy, John already had a significant following on MySpace and he had recently added Facebook and Twitter to his social web presence.  He also had already created two websites for this project, so we worked from the existing sites to compile all of the graphics, customize new visuals and streamline the brand.  Now his brand expands across the board, from the existing websites to all of his profiles, and creates a more seamless online brand experience for the viewer.

To see John Taglieri’s LIVES project online, visit the following sites:
