| Facebook Is Here To Stay [We Ask You Results] Posted: 18 Feb 2014 05:30 PM PST  Facebook haters should look away now. Mark Zuckerberg and co. aren’t disappearing anytime soon, at least according to the MakeUseOf readership. Having already prospered for 10 years (celebrating the occasion with those annoying ‘Look Back’ videos), Facebook looks set to be with us for some time yet. Oh joy. No End In Sight We asked you, How Long Will Facebook Survive? We had a fair number of responses, with people generally offering a prediction and arguing why they believe what they believe in terms of Facebook’s possible longevity. The majority of commenters cannot see Facebook disappearing anytime soon, but that... Read the full article: Facebook Is Here To Stay [We Ask You Results] |
| Posted: 18 Feb 2014 03:30 PM PST  Facebook has recently changed an algorithm that controls which sites get highlighted in your News Feeds, effectively limiting traffic to viral publishers such as Upworthy, ViralNova and the like. Not only has this cleaned up your news feeds, it’s also going to change the viral content industry. So what’s changed? Let’s take a look. What Changed, Exactly? At the start of December, Facebook announced changes to their News Feed which would ensure better content was being delivered to users. As always, it’s hard to guess what Facebook means when they say things like this, so it’s taken a few months... Read the full article: What Facebook Just Did To Your News Feed Took Serious Guts.

| Enjoy Retro Gaming On Windows Phone 8 With These 3 Emulators Posted: 18 Feb 2014 12:00 PM PST  Looking for a Windows Phone gaming challenge that has its roots in “old skool” arcade or console fun? You can play classic games natively on Windows Phone or install emulator apps and ROM files of the original games. Why Use Emulators? The vast choice of Xbox Live titles alone is testament to the fact that there is no shortage of good Windows Phone games; there are plenty of great games without Xbox Live integration, too. However if you’re looking for something a bit different, or simply have a nostalgic hankering for something great from day of yore, then an emulator...

You go video game shopping for those about magic and lasers! Step aside, Madden 25!

| New Mac? Don’t Waste Time Installing Free Software; Use GetMacApps Instead Posted: 18 Feb 2014 09:00 AM PST  Setting up a new Mac? Download and install your favorite apps all at once. GetMacApps.com makes it easy. From Dropbox to VLC, there’s a lot of apps you need for your workflow that don’t come with your Mac. Many are in the Mac App Store, meaning they’re quick to install, but a surprising number aren’t. So you do the installation dance. You download all the DMGs, you mount them, you drag the applications to the Applications folder, you unmount the DMG, then you finally delete the DMG. If you think this could be simpler, you’re right. Here’s a website that... Read the full article: New Mac? Don’t Waste Time Installing Free Software; Use GetMacApps Instead |
| A Quick Look At The iPad As A Music Production Tool Posted: 18 Feb 2014 08:00 AM PST  When deciding whether one can justify the purchase of a tablet, rarely does “music production” factor into the decision-making process – but it should. If there’s one reason to pick an iPad over the rest, it’s the richness of apps available on the platform, and music apps are no different. I’ve been fiddling with iOS synthesizers, drum machines, effects processors and full-blown DAWs since my first iPhone 4, and over the last couple of years the options for music creation on iOS have grown tremendously. Finally, the iPad is a full-blown production, composition and performance tool. A Mobile Studio You... Read the full article: A Quick Look At The iPad As A Music Production Tool |
| Clockwise Triggers Mac Actions So You Don’t Have To Posted: 18 Feb 2014 07:00 AM PST  Scheduling reminders and performing routine computer tasks are easier when using automation programs like Keyboard Maestro, Hazel, and OS X’s own Automator.

| Automatically Find Any Broken Links On Your WordPress Site Posted: 18 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST  One of the most frustrating things on the Internet is when you are reading an article and click on a link which claims to expand on the topic, only to find that it goes to some 404 page – or worse, to a website that no longer exists. If you are a website owner yourself, you might be wondering if there’s a way to detect such broken links. There is, with a WordPress plugin called Broken Link Checker, which is one of the best WordPress plugins in its category and far easier than the command line method. About The Plugin...

| 4 Reasons Why Blogging Beginners Should Be In The WordPress Community Posted: 18 Feb 2014 04:00 AM PST  Few open source projects have had the same impact on the Internet that WordPress has. For those with a story to tell, WordPress has made it trivially easy to share it with the world. Developers love it for the ease in which it can be customized and expanded with plugins. Web hosts love it because WordPress scales, and is free of charge. But what about absolute blogging beginners?
