I joined up on Google+ back in July, but I have recently decided to start making better use of it, personally I find it warmer, more comfortable and more satisfying to use than Facebook....

So I will be taking most of my personal account activity over there, so be sure to add me to your Circles!

See you there!

By now you have surely heard of Google+, Googles latest child, running riot in the Social Network scene! There is a huge influx of people trying to get their hands on Google+ Invites, well I have some :) And I'll give them away. All you have to do is the following:

 You have probably noticed the new Facebook box on the right (over there! --->, nope, down a bit!)

This is a link back to us on Facebook, where all the content from this site is posted for easy access, delivered directly to your feed!

To join, simply click the Like button (go on, do it now!) and that's it, now you'll have all the latest Elf posts directly to your Facebook homepage.

It's about that time of the year again, walls being plagued with posts from friends telling you how to get a dislike button on Facebook, but like all of these posts in the past - and more than likely the future, it's a malicious scam.

What is Twiends?
Twiends is a service that claims to boost your Twitter, Facebook(pages) and YouTube Friends/Followers. Great Idea!

How it works?
Twiends uses seeds to create the incentive for people to check each other out. When you follow someone they give you seeds, and vice versa when they follow you. You can decide how many seeds you want to offer per follow.

What's being said:

I think we can all agree that Facebook is winning the "Social Network Showdown" at the moment. With everyone ditching Bebo for Facebook it's like a ghost town over there. Let's have a look at the numbers.

Percent of global Internet users who visit facebook.com:

It's never been easier to become a fan of Elf Knows It! I have just added a new widget to the side bar connecting you with Elf Knows It on Facebook, you can become a fan in once click without leaving the site, simply click the "Become a fan" button to your right and that's it. As a fan you get all the information as it happens direct to your Facebook account and any juicy bits I have will be posted there too...

Thanks for becoming a fan!

I have just finished integrating Facebook with Elf Knows It, what does this mean?...

Have you ever wanted to invite all your friends to a Facebook page or group but you don't have the patience to click everyone in your friends list? The simple answer is in a small bit of code:

javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsByTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}

This has got to be one of the most annoying trends bouncing around Facebook at the moment, basically you are being forced to "Become a fan" of a page to see the funny picture or text they are hiding from you. The annoying thing is that the "goodies" they have waiting for you have been flying around the Internet since the early days of chain e-mails, nothing new!

Anyway, there is a way to get around them.

Social networking has always been interesting to me, the whole concept is just sweet to the taste. So I decided to look into 3 of the major kings in the social network world today, and the results are surprising!

I looked into the traffic for Bebo.com, Myspace.com and Facebook.com

Here's what I found:
