StumbleUpon is a great way to share the web links with your friends. This offers a tool bar to instantly share, like and dislike web pages you come across.

StumbleUpon toolbar can hold a maximum of 500 links. If you don’t clear the shares and reaches the limit, your friends will not be able to share the new content with you. You may loose some interesting stuff.

How quickly you can clear the stumbles? If you are familiar with StumbleUpon toolbar then, this tip would help you to give better stumble experience.

Click the Stumble Button by holding Ctrl key will open the page in new tab. Or you can use the mouse scroll button to open the content in new tab.

This will allow you stumble faster and help you to clear the shares.

Is Social Media a Fad? is it the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution?

This is a question, most of us hear on day-to-day life. Here is a video response that has the answer.

Most of you normally login to your Facebook account by typing your email id that was used while registration.

Everyone like to use a username instead of their email addresses.

Sometime in June 2009, Facebook introduced Vanity URLs to all users.

Vanity URL is one of the nice to have feature for every user. Vanity URL allows you to set a nice username (facebook.com/iamunique) in the URL instead of having a alphanumeric characters (facebook.com/?profile=abc123).

You can create your own username using this link – www.facebook.com/username

Take time and create a suitable username for your account. This is a one-off task and it can’t be changed forever.

Once you create the Facebook username, you can use the username to login to facebook instead of your email id.

However you are still will be able to login to Facebook using your email address.
