Creating a share link on facebook fan page posts

harish — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 22:25:27 +0000

While making a few posts on my fan page, I noticed something really cool. All fan pages might find this trick very useful.
Typically facebook adds “Like”, “Comment” links to each post. But then share is a very important viral button that will allow fans of the page to share the post on their wall.

The Trick:
When sharing a post from blog or web page, do not post the page URL. Instead create a short url from http://bit.ly and post that link to the fan page wall. This will add an extra link to the post

comment, like, share

Setting up google mail for a domain is actually very easy. You can find a lot of help by just googling.
Where i got most confused is where and how to change the MX and CNAME record in my web host admin panel. Interpreting text explanation can sometimes be confusing and i did screw up. So here is a screenshot of how it should look.

Changing CNAME will allow you to access mail by typing http://mail.yourdomain.com instead of http://www.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/

Buying used car

When buying used car with 70k miles plus, make sure the timing belt has been changed. If the timing belt breaks, it can ruin the engine. I had to cough up $4500 to replace engine on my pre-owend Subaru I bought 7 months ago.
