Create reading list in WordPress from Amazon Wish List using Yahoo! Pipes

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I read many books from the library. I don’t finished reading many books though. First of all, they are free, since they are from the library, and second my attention span doesn’t last that long. I believe browsing the web daily from age 14 (circa 1996) will do that to someone (read the latest cover story in The Atlantic Monthly, is Google Making Us Stoopid). Most of the books I read come from the magazines I read (The Atlantic, Books & Culture: A Christian Review) or from the podcasts I listen to (Diane Rehm, This Week in Tech).

Either way, I want to share my latest reading endeavors across my blogs. But how? (more…)

How to link to your Facebook profile: public profile link and NOT public profile link

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Update:
You can find your Public Profile link this way:

  1. Click Settings/Privacy Settings
  2. Click Search
  3. Scroll down to “Public Search Listing”
  4. Click “See Preview”

You’ll be taken to your public search page and can copy the link from there.

Original Article:

Slowly Facebook has disabled direct links to profiles. Originally you could link to

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=000000000.

All you had to do was copy and paste the URL from your address bar while you were logged into Facebook and you were good to go!

But the Facebookers disabled that.

If you want to keep all your information private, but want to post a link to add you as a friend, now you can do a search and limit it by id number:

http://www.facebook.com/s.php?k=100000080&id=000000000

To view the above link, you still have to login. If you don’t want users to have to log in and don’t mind submitting your profile to search engines, now you can create a public profile and link to it

http://www.facebook.com/p/First_Middle_LastName/000000000

I could not find anywhere that would list how to make this URL. I looked around and had to try the schema by example. It is as listed above with your profile id attached to the end instead of the “000000000″
