Separating spotify from Facebook and moving playlists from one account to another

robinna/ February 10, 2013/ social media, question of the day/ 0 comments

Now that spotify no longer REQUIRES a facebook login, how do you go about separating them?  I really needed to do this for a lot of different reasons. One, I use georgiawebgurl for all of my social media except for Facebook. I don’t mind connecting twitter, pinterest, etc. together but I don’t want them all connected to my personal Facebook

Question of the day: …so, how do you *do* twitter? It seems different than fb. Any words of wisdom? A:Twitter is different from facebook for me.Twitter is a very dynamic sharing, learning, and network tool. Facebook can be that, too, but it’s more a mashup and convulated (imho). So how do I do it? Use ‘tweet this’ buttons. When I

robinna/ September 22, 2011/ question of the day/ 5 comments

Updated 10/19: Note: While this worked for a while, it no longer seems to, what is still workingis manually creating a list of all friends and just read that. It is chronological and not by top stories (thankfully!) Of course you have to select the list when you login. [older workaround > let me know if it starts working for

Gmail: search & limit by date, exclude google buzz & more

If you’ve ever tried to search through 300 (or egads – 3000+) GMail emails, then you know how challenging the “never delete” idea is. Sorting is not really part of the GMail world (there is some sorting, but it rather limited). I usually build the search in the search box (similar to oldschool command line searching). (If you prefer to

robinna/ July 4, 2011/ privacy, question of the day/ 0 comments

If you’re a Google user (any of their products) don’t forget that you can review and change your settings for all services you use via the Dashboard. I always forget just how handy the Dashboard is for updating settings across the Googlesphere. https://www.google.com/dashboard/ ..and don’t forget you can turn of search history which directly ties your account to your searching.

Tracking your profile and who unfriends you on Facebook – mostly scams

robinna/ May 1, 2011/ question of the day/ 1 comments

Stalker Tracker and Profile Tracker (Facebook apps? apps might be too generous) are just scammy products; there is not any app that can show you who has viewed your profile. Facebook probably knows, but you don’t. Pages can see how many views and other basic website statistics; individual personal accounts currently display no statistical information (at this point – although

Go to Settings>Mobile Text message notifications:Twitter will send alerts to your phone, depending on your settings. You can limit it to particular times (I would not want to receive alerts in the middle of the night), or particular types of messages. You can limit to only those you allow to send to send alerts via twitter (perhaps, your family, dearest
