[Video] Steve Garfield Facebook Timeline Movie Maker Movie



I used the default settings on Facebook's Timeline Movie Maker and didn't change anything.. Really nice job.

The movie SHARE feature needs an export option. When I shared the link initially, it seems that it reassembled the movie, when people clicked on the link.

So I used ScreenFlow (evaluation copy) to screen capture the video and upload to Facebook.

Seen in this video:
Lan Bui, Bre Pettis, Steve Woolf, Thomas Edwards, Zadi Diaz, Andy Carvin, Chuck Olsen, Mildred Garfield, MC Hammer, Michael P Wright, Casey McKinnon, Clintus McGintus and Hermione Way.

Also posted to YouTube.

Quickly Copy a Website URL into an Email with Shift+CMD+I on Mac

lifehacker has a neat tip in this post today: Quickly Copy a Website URL into an Email with Cmd+Shift+I on Mac.

I use this tip all the time, but I don't use the keyboard command.

I just go to the menu:

FILE > Mail Link to this page


Image: File Menu item Mail Link to this page 'Shift+CMD+I'

Note:

The correct designation of the shortcut, as displayed in the menu item is, Shift+CMD+I.

How to Make Your Mac Email Signature Clickable

I saw that @AmberMac was looking for good examples of email signatures. I sent her mine as a bad example.

Email Signature Before:

She just wrote an article about how to make your email signature better, The 2-Minute Move That Will Elevate Your Personal Brand.

Here's how you can make your Mac email signature clickable and look like this:

When I first tried to do this, I just put standard HTML code in the signature file of my email. That didn't work.

You have to use the Mac email options to set this up.

Here's how.

Go into MAIL > PREFERENCES.

Click SIGNATURES.

Make a new one or edit and existing one.

Then, in the body of the signature, type in the text that you want to have as a link.

SELECT the text, RIGHT CLICK on it and choose, LINK > ADD LINK...

Then PASTE IN or TYPE IN a link.

CLICK OK.

Close out of the window and you are done.

QR Code Example for Boston Globe Articles

Yes. I still subscribe to the Boston Globe newspaper and have it delivered to my house. I love it. It's something I've been doing for years, as has my family.



SHARING WITH SOCIAL MEDIA
One thing that's difficult is sharing the print articles that I read, with my online friends on social media. What I usually end up doing is going to twitter to see if someone else has already tweeted out a link to the story. Then I follow the link to make sure it's not spam. Then I go back and usually RT that tweet.

Sometimes when I don't find the article, I search for it online, then tweet it out.

USING QR CODES
It would be a lot easier if I could just use a QR code to share the article from my phone.

Here's what I imagine it would look like.

QR code for the URL of the Boston Globe Editorial,
Shut up, they explained by Jeff Jacoby:
http://b.globe.com/shut-they-explained

This would be a great way to encourage sharing of Boston Globe articles from the newspaper. Put a QR code on selected articles so that you could scan in the QR code and be taken directly to the article online to enable easy sharing to Social Media sites like twitter, Facebook and G+.

Watch 4 out of 8 Oscar Best Picture Nominees Online at Amazon.com

Oscar Nominees: Watch The Films Online Right Now:

Thankfully, there's one fewer Best Picture nominee this year. Why thankfully? Well, if you're like me (and many of you are in this respect), you haven't been to the movies in a really long time. And now you have just over 30 days to catch up on these nine contenders. These days, though, that doesn't mean you need to make several trips to the local movie theatre. We can experience these cinematic delights (legally) right in the comfort of our homes thanks to online movie-streaming services. Here we've gathered seven such services to show you where you can watch the Best Picture nominees right now. As of today, your best bet is to head over to Amazon.

Though we’ve known sweet, Southern single mom Emily Maynard would be the next Bachelorette for a week, host Chris Harrison, who officially announced it on Good Morning America this morning, assures us it was only a done deal today.

...and tweets the news:

I guess God needs something else to do now that Tim Tebow isn't playing football.
