Question from Kelsey J.: I’ve been looking around my Facebook trying to find a way to see who all has been scoping out my profile.
I can’t seem to find a way but surely there is one??
My question is can you tell me how to find out who’s been looking at my stuff on Facebook? Yep, I’m curious lol.
Thanks for helping me.

If you could only post one tweet per day, when would be the best time to do it?
I’ve seen this question asked over and over on various social media forums, and as you might expect there sees to be no uniform answer.
Some people prefer to tweet in mid-morning, others at night. In other words, this isn’t a good question to ask in a forum if you want an accurate answer.
Well, thanks to a fairly comprehensive body of research, we don’t really have to guess about when is the best time to post a single daily tweet. [Read more…]
There are times when it would be nice to have the ability to schedule a post to go live on your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn timeline at a later date and time.

Question from Melanie W.: I have a question about Twitter that I hope you can answer for me.
I’m following a woman who’s a news anchor on my local TV station.
I really love her tweets because they’re always interesting and informative, but she retweets like crazy and most of the things she retweets don’t interest me at all.
I know I could unfollow her but then I wouldn’t be able to see the tweets she posts.
Is there a way to keep following this person and see the tweets she posts herself but not see any of her retweets?

Question from Dennis J.: Hi Rick. I have a quick question about Facebook and I’m hoping you can answer it for me.
Is there any way to keep my Facebook friends from being notified when I add a new friend? Some of them get jealous when I add certain people.
If you can tell me how to prevent the new friend notifications from being sent out I’ll appreciate it more than you know.
