Facebook looking more Twitterish or Tinderish or SnapChatish Safety-PIO-SM-15-005
| 15-005: Facebook looking more Twitterish or Tinderish or SnapChatish | |
| Agency: Facebook platform | Topic(s): Facebook (personal) |
| Date: 10-02-15 | Platform: Facebook |
A few hours ago, Facebook just rolled out a few new features you should be aware of.
First, right below your personal profile picture, you can see they have added an additional sentence so you can add a description about you.
For this specific feature, Facebook has limited you to 101 characters, attempted imbedded emojis or other linking directives (like Twitter handles outside of Facebook world) do not work.
Why is this important? Three things:
- It allows Facebook to gather more information about you by allowing you to place topics that best reflect you (aka self-identified targeted words).
- They can use these descriptors to serve you more ads and/or grow your networks to those with similar word associations.
- Hyperlinks do not work in this descriptor box.
And if you think this is familiar, this description feature box parallels Twitter’s description box which is also located below your twitter name and Twitter handle.
Facebook has also added a new feature where you can add 5 additional pictures about yourself. Think of this as an enhanced profile picture. This allows you to showcase 5 different profiled images of yourself on your personal Facebook page.
This feature obviously makes it look more Tinderish. Gawd – *swipe left* please!
Why more pictures? Better facial recognition. User contributed best profile pictures of themselves for identification.
A few days ago, Facebook crashed as they were pushing for the launch of their 360-video, but if you thought this feature could lead to a few seconds of video profile picture of yourself, you would be SnapChat correct.
Two new features on Twitter….I mean SnapChat….I mean Tinder….I mean Facebook.
You get the idea…Zuck’s blurring the lines again.
Keep your social media tools game sharp peeps!

This emergency preparedness kit multipurpose item literally sticks to everything #Prepared2014 #NatlPrep #TBT
It’s Thursday in the third week of 2014 National Preparedness Month
“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”
#TBT #TapeBackThursdays ? Or am I trying too hard to make fetch happen?
This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Build an Emergency Kit
#18: This emergency preparedness kit multipurpose item literally sticks to everything #Prepared2014 #NatlPrep #TBT
Before a disaster, duct tape can be used to shore up many structural components as well as loose items around the house. This includes securing windows from cracking, enhancing doors, even sealing up the cracks in case you have to shelter-in-place duct tape does a lot!
Now duct tape has been used for a few redic things too.
Great practical joke, but c’mon.
And trust me when I say every emergency manager has duct tape in their go kit. Therefore, you should too.
To aid in your preparedness, I would suggest having two rolls of duct tape in different colors. This way, you can distinguish your tape from others (i.e. layers) and also be able to use your duct tape as identification markers. Here’s an example of just one way to use duct tape to easily identify your stuff – my flat head ax.
Um, I hear that the airline industry also uses duct tape for operations…I mean identification too.
However you use duct tape, keep at least two different color rolls in each emergency preparedness kit.
It would be worth noting that the Duck Tape Headquarters is located right here in NE Ohio and of course Avon Ohio is known as the Duck Tape Capital of the World.
During an emergency, stick together! (see what I did there?)
Frozen and stuck in Region-5 in January
C’mon January!
Man it’s cold…like icicles from the nose cold!
Maybe I should just shelter in place for the rest of the winter. Luckily, this month’s schedule only has me in Region-5.
If I think warm thoughts, that would make it better.
Hmmmm, that’s not working.

@rusnivek’s Top-6 Public Safety / PIO social media tips…for free
I had a thought this AM..I need to provide you more public safety social media tips. And since you only have 30 seconds to spare, maybe less, I’ll keep it very short.
SO, here’s part-1 of my top 6 SM tips for public safety professionals / Public Information Officers (PIOs). And yes, it’s free for you.
@rusnivek Social Media Tip-1: Post it first (because they don’t interview the runner-up).
If you don’t post it first, someone else will be first to tell your story.
And that’s going to suck…because only you tell your story the best.
It only takes a few minutes to tell your story.
It takes a TON of money and time to fix the wrong story, and then to tell it right.
To put things in perspective, “There are no points for second place.”
Tip-1: Post it first (because they don’t interview the runner-up).

Shelter in place? #NATLPREP
Here’s some quick tips to Shelter-in-place:
- Bring your family and pets inside.
- Lock doors, close windows, air vents and fireplace dampers.
- Turn off fans, air conditioning and forced air heating systems.
- Take your emergency supply kit unless you have reason to believe it has been contaminated.
- Go into an interior room with few windows, if possible.
- Seal all windows, doors and air vents with 2-4 mil. thick plastic sheeting and duct tape. Consider measuring and cutting the sheeting in advance to save time
- Cut the plastic sheeting several inches wider than the openings and label each sheet.
- Duct tape plastic at corners first and then tape down all edges.
- Be prepared to improvise and use what you have on hand to seal gaps so that you create a barrier between yourself and any contamination.
