How would look like a RSS Media Feed Url for Friends Facebook Photos to feed Cooliris with it

These one (worked)
http://www.cooliris.com/tab/#url=jsfeed%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Falbum.php%3Faid%3D86914%26id%3D643291907%26page%3D1

But some how the Url is Hex encoded %
some symbols have to be changed

Dollar ("$") 24
Ampersand ("&") 26
Plus ("+") 2B
Comma (",") 2C
Forward slash/Virgule ("/") 2F
Colon (":") 3A
Semi-colon (";") 3B
Equals ("=") 3D
Question mark ("?") 3F
‘At’ symbol ("@") 40

Trayd these
http://www.cooliris.com/tab/#url=jsfeed:http://www.facebook.com/home.php?page=1&fw=1&pid=000000000002

But it taks some time too load Facebook is slow for pix but with the cooliris is much faster to shwo around friends pix. and they are linked so you can easy click and comment

These post is in progress i will update every step i get closer
First embed with FBMl works great on my profile Tab

How to make a Viral Facebook Group

There are very view Facebook Groups that get over 1 million members .Most Groups stuck with cupel of tausend Members .
Here a Advise from a Online entrepreneur

1. Follow pop culture news and if a big event happens, create a group around it. Try and be the first to do so and people will join like mad. Example: When Heath Ledger died and “The Dark Knight” came out, someone created a group entitled “Heath Ledger Deserves a Post Humous Academy Award for his Role in the Dark Knight.” Not the shortest title but it gained more than 1,000,000 members within the month.

2. Play off of Nastalgia. A group called “If you remember this you grew up in the 90’s” has almost 2 million members. It is all about discussing things about the 90’s that people loved.

3. Experiments like 6 degrees of separation where the only point of joining the group is to participate in an experiment. These groups ask you to inivite all of your friends and usually go viral.

My advice if you are planning on partaking in the Facebook group journey is to create a account and get a lot of friends. take caere that your Friends don’t get pissed at you.

Some Facebook Group rules
Facebook Groups new Design is quite similar to the Facebook PAge design , for the member there is no clear differnce from Group to pages .
When the group reach 5000 members the funktion massage all members will disappear
When you change the Name of a group even a bigger one all Members get a Massage that the Name changed and will look what changed in the group .
Placing Affliate links in to groups was a common praktice to gain some money out of groups but its against Facebook TOS and the Admin get banned .
If a group lost his Admin for what ever reason , on the new FAcebook rules there is no Get Admin button anymore dont know how Facebook will work with the Admin less Groups .

Here some example groups that have over 1 million Members on Facebook
As Facebook changed the rules you can change now the names of Groups and some orginal Names where the group starts are not visible anymore , in the bracket i added the original Name if known

Let’s break a Guinness Record! 2010! The Largest Group on Facebook! 5 Million Members

Feed a Child with just a Click! 4 Million Members

2.4 MILLION STRONG GROUP FOR GENERAL DISCUSSION. INVITE ALL!
(orginal Titel “THEY ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN FACEBOOK - PETITION TO KEEP IT! INVITE ALL!"”

We Will Not Pay To Use Facebook. We Are Gone If This Happens 4 Million members

As learning Facebook App Styling and expand a bit my Css
Best practice is to learn on given examples .
How to modify a Template that it works for Facebook Apps
Its quite easy as on many pages mention its all just html

1. Remove all body Tags
2. Remove all head Tags
3.All Image Path must be relative to your canvas page if the style should work
(Image & Style Css folder to Canvas folder)
Check all your Template CSS files

As Facebook dont like that many Javascripts to prevent the mootols.js and caption.js script for your template that is standard on joomla 1.5 just ad these php snipet to your temlate index files .
Some templates you can deactivate some javascript features in the backend too .

//remove mootools.js and caption.js to make it Facebook conform
$headerstuff=$this->getHeadData();
reset($headerstuff[’scripts’]);
foreach($headerstuff[’scripts’] as $key=>$value){
unset($headerstuff[’scripts’][$key]);
}
$this->setHeadData($headerstuff);

One more step jomla adds the base url tag to every site to prevent that go to
/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php search for : // Generate base tag (need to happen first) $base = $document->getBase(); if(!empty($base)) { $strHtml .= $tab.'’.$lnEnd; } Unkomment it // Generate base tag (need to happen first) // $base = $document->getBase(); // if(!empty($base)) { // $strHtml .= $tab.’

No thats not what you think any kind of SEO stuff its only a short notice for my self and probably it inspire some to .Thats why i use the old Blog for that .
When its goes to find related Twitter follower there are many sites that gain you to find new related follower and probably i checked most of them out .

Just to mention some like
www.weffolow.com
www.findtweet.com
and many more

But it cost you even more time than searching on twitter or better the Twitter Advanced search .You need multiple clicks to get to the profile of the person you like to follow .
So why should i use any 3 application n or Website when its all on Google as the tweets are not protected its much esyer to find them on Google .Like in real live not the most famous persons are the most interesting .It don’t make sense too follow some one with 100 Tausend or even one million follower he will never recognize or read my tweet .On that way i can stay on the TV or Newspaper there i have a one way communication too .

Ok lets get to the root How you can use google to find your relatet Tweets .
www.google.com
and search only on the twitter site with this string “Site:twitter.com”

to specify it a bit more we exclude some statuses and want to a search in the Bio

site:twitter.com -status -statuses +bio Filmmaker

Just change the last search word on any you like ad a Country or even be more specific.
Vuala here we are where we whant now all direckt links to ther profil and realy easy to look thrue the over view how could be intersting too follow.
But what are the right Key phrases and filmwords in my case to find your peopel that is the hardes part.But you will know your feeld and find them after a short brainstorming or talk with your Friend .

My Search words would be
Cinekeys : cinematographer Director , Film Director
German : Kameraman ,Regisseur
Filmmaker ,Brodcast, SNG ,ENG ,
Technical Words : Digibeta ,BetaSP ,Zoom ,
Brand names : Arri ,Panavision ,

There are many software out there how charge a 100 bugs and more just to make exactly the same what Google can due for you.
By the way same work for Facebook too but thats a other story .

As i announce yesterday on the Director of Photography Group on Facebook ofers the Jung Film students to get their own blog on this domain like yourname@cameraman.at
Probably its mostly interesting for filmmaker working behind or with a camera but the opting in is open.

There are 100s of free Blogs out there why i ofer that ?
Like Blogger or many other Blogs are free , but to have a bright port of various Blogs on the same place can bust the Individual Cine Blogger much more than having a Blog somewhere spread on the Net. Specially if you want that your blog get found by the right person ,most of the main work is done.

What this Blog is peppered to

- Its highly Search Engine optimised
-Facebook Twitter Connect to share
-It Pings the major Pingservces 15
-Flicker Photo CC ingratiation Backend
-Live stream from mogululus another
-Fast and effective Designs
-B2ev2evolution Blogsoftwar

This Free over is limited to one person per County/City and setup only in the summer time you have to connect over Facebook for the reg. and setup , pleas add a short massage too . Thers there is no automatic setup routine all done by hand. Just imagine there are about 20 active Cameraman.*** domains out in the world and you are on one of them.

My Personal Blog is ported to http://www.cameraman.at/blog/press if one of the Professional Director of Photography or Film Directors needs help in setting up a Blog just send me a IM or post in the group your question.

As the summer time slowly start also in Vienna there is a bunch of wonderful open air cinemas opening now .This little note will help me and you to find them and drop in . It starts several years ago with the Augarten “Kino unter Sternen ” in the Augarten park where the Vienna Boys choir also have his home. Nice but a bit far away from everything else.Now there are about 5 locations how over that and every location by himself is a visit worth.
Here the Vienna Open Air Cinemas most on very classy places ,if you drop by in Vienna for a visit or just wanna meet some friends.I add some personal Stars as a rating if you don’t knowwhich one too chose first.Check out the links for detail program.
Most Open Air Cinemas start when its get dark so about 21.00 entry fees is mostly the same like in a normal cinema around 7,50 Euro.

Kino am DACH - Cinema on the Roof
www.kinoamdach.at
Urban Loritz Platz 2 ,1150 Vienna
***On the roof of the Vienna’s main laibery ,a vey nice building on the Gürtel. Arti place

Kino unter Sternen - Cinema under the Stars
www.afterimage.at
Karlsplatz Resselpark
* under the Karls church the most centred one and probably with the nicest atmospher.

Espressofilm

Schloss Neugebäude -Castle Neugebäude
www.schlossneugebaeude.at
**Plays Blockbusters like slumdoog millionaire ect have a roof so no rain problems ,but you could loose the sight to the sky.A bit far out of the center Vienna. A nice combo if you visit the famous Central Vienna Cemetery

The find simple new Apartment in any city by asking friends on a Social platfrom is quite simple.
Most people search ones or some more often for a apartment in a other city of move together and need a bigger nicer apartment. Here it starts the problem many website over services ,endless crawling over various sites and Newspapers and the good stuff is gone when you pic up the phone .Often you have to pay a lot for just getting shown the Apartment or home.
Best experience is if one of your friend know some one that has moved or know some one who rent or sell a apartment.

This simple concept follow the Apartment 2.0 Group / Page on Facebook .Quite nice potential specially in this digital times where people moving faster and more often .
Some YouTube Videos of Apartment tours done personally to show renter not only the apartment and how there life in there they show the personality of the Students too that they will move in probably .Check it out i think its worth even when iam not searching for a Place right now i will have a source for my friends how often ask me if i know some place to rent.As it spreads more your search much more people on the same wave than only in your Friends list .At the moment the description is in German but it expandable to any location or city like Vienna ,Berlin Paris London or even New York .

Any way you can tray it on this Portals for Vienna too.

Probably you get the same Facebook massage sometimes from contacts in your status update .
Some of your friends are private ones other are professional contact for future or just for sharing and inspiration.

The High 5 for Social networks
Here i want to give some little help to people who want to use Facebook and Social Networks for Professional contacts too.

1.Facebook is not a save Place
As FB take care about privacy what is good ,the bad side they will not allow you
to backup your friends or save emails of friends that definitly want that you know it .
FB Ban very fast even when you make nothing wrong and only respond and post to much on your friends status or engage to much in groups .Happen to very nice and kommunikativ Friends of me .

2.Share on more than one platform connects deeper and save your friends.
When you connect on more than one network to your Professional contacts you can share business contact details to and backup it to Outlook or your IPhone.The apps on FB for Professional Contacts are just more work with nearly no benefit.
A tool that can halp you to fill all this registration stuff [FirefoxAddon] http://www.sxipper.com/

3.Engage be active only active contacts will be seen .
People with more than 100 contacts can miss you even when they are interested on your work or person .The biggest beginner error of some commercial FB accounts they only make marketing and promote Business .That’s for most user boring and its nothing more easy than to hide this ones .[EVA]
If you don’t like a Theme (Iran ect) send a short Im and I can group you to a Non Status update for a time not to bother you.

4.Take your friends with you on IPhone or WMobile
There is a App that allow to connect the profile pix of your friends with outlook and Mobile
It compare your address book in outlook with your FB friends and add to the existing ones with the FB Pix .Very nice for visual people like me who like the Smiling Faces of my friends .
The best its not against FB TOSs.
[OutSync] http://www.melsam.com/outsync/

5.How I honor your work and connection to me
I thought how i can give something real back to Friends and contact in the Social FB Networks.Here what it jump in my mind .
Every Friend in my Network receive 5% discount on all regular prices of my Film Services
every additional Network you connect additional 5% off the prise .Up to 4 networks you can connect to me Professionally .Link-Ed ,Xing ,Facebook ,Twitter or Plaxo on my blog are the Social Network links and more .

Hope this is somehow useful for you if you think i should add something just replay or if one of your friends could be interested in it just share or recommend a Friend.

Happy Networking and a grateful Day
