One of the best features of Android is its ability to merge your social networking accounts with your contacts. By doing that it brings all the information needed by you to a single place and makes it extremely easy to communicate by centralizing your contacts.

But on the flipside, it becomes extremely irritating when you realize that a contact has multiple userpics for different services and your phone has picked the random animated image as the default.

So how do we fix this problem and select the right default image for a contact?

Fortunately there is a simple way to specify the Default Picture/Name/Number/Email for a contact.

To change the default information of a contact do the following:

  1. In your contacts page (where you have the list of your contacts) long press a contact that you want to change.
  2. When the menu comes up, press select “Mark as Default”
  3. Now you will be given a list of options for the Contacts details.
  4. Select the default in each section and hit save

Facebook is fast becoming one of ‘the’ places to promote your blog. Integrating your site well with facebook not only drives great traffic but also provides great exposure for your writing. People share webpages on Facebook all the time, just include the url of interest in any message and FB will insert an image from the page and a short description below the message.

So how do you know if any of your blog’s contents have been shared on the most popular social networking site on the web?

On my personal blog titled “New Sense” I recently included a nice looking toolbar at the bottom. The toolbar also provides a button for recommendations via facebook. Clicking on it will show a list of pages from my blog that were shared on Facebook (Click on Recommendations at the toolbar at the bottom)

If you want to see a similar list for your blog, go to this page -> Recommendations

At the bottom of the page you will find a form similar to the one shown in the image below. Type in the address of your blog and voilà you should get the list of shared items from your blog.

Facebook might be a fun social networking site to meet new friends and interact with them but thanks to the unimaginable number of applications available on Facebook it makes it a hard task to keep tab of all the apps you have authorized. A lot of these apps have access to information like your photos, friends and personal details. It clearly seems like a good idea to keep an eye on the applications you have added on your facebook page.

One of the simplest ways to check on the applications you have added is by following the below steps.

1. Go to the Application Settings page from your Facebook home page. The link is available under Account

2. In the next page, click on the drop down box next to the text “Show:” and choose Authorized

3. Double check the list of applications you have added, to remove an application simply hit the x at the end of the line for each application.

Do this check once every few weeks depending you your Facebook usage.
