I enjoy reading books. Most of the time, I read non-fiction. I don’t have anything against fiction. My wife reads fiction, but it’s not my cup of tea, unless its a classic. Whatever you read, you would probably like to share it with your friends. Now it’s easy. With these steps you can tweet about your latest book by simply adding the book to an Amazon Wishlist. No figuring out how much of the title you can post within the 140 character limit. No creating a TinyURL for the Amazon product page. A few hours later your twitter account will tweet your book addition! (more…)

If you follow me on Twitter, you noticed that I recently bought a home and that I was confused about the date of BlogIndiana. I’m happy to say that our move-in date and the blog conference are on separate weekends, so now you don’t have to help me move (you were planning on it right?). You can go to BlogIndiana at the IUPUI Campus Center on August 16th and 17th.

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″
