Social Media - New Out and Something to Try

 
Here are a few of the important changes & updates that we found this month and think you need to know about!

FACEBOOK NOTES 


If you have been on Facebook for several years, you probably remember notes. Here is part of an old one of mine. This but went to the wayside and  everyone had quit using them. They are back!

According to Facebook's official release, "We're rolling out an update to make notes on Facebook more beautiful and customizable. Notes are now an even better way to write a longer post and share with anyone - whether it's a small group of friends or everyone on Facebook."

GOOGLE VOICE TYPING
 
Not good at typing. Try Google's Voice Typing! I tested it and as long as you don't laugh while you are talking, it seems to work pretty well! You do have to speak clearly. You can find it located under "Tools" on an open document in Google docs.

You can see an example by clicking here.


We hope you find these tips helpful! If you see anything new and exciting out there in the world of online, let me know.


Be well, 
Martin
