Bebo Changes
0Since my previous 2 posts about Bebo features:
Bebo launch profile views stats
Bebo – Finally see who’s viewing your profile
There has been some changes in the positioning of the links that are mentioned in the posts.
The above picture shows the box that appears on the home or changes page. I’ve circled the 2 items beside “Views:”. The first item the number, circled in red, is a link to the profile views stats page and the second item the word map, circled in green, is a link to the map page. Hope this makes it easier for people to find these features.
I’ve also noticed that a large majority of the traffic coming to my site is for the Bebo posts so if there’s anything that you want to know about on Bebo just ask and I’ll try to find the answers for you.
Chinese baby named ‘at’ symbol
0This article appeared in this week’s TechCentral.ie newsletter.
It’s about a Chinese couple who want to name their new baby boy ‘@’. I thought it was pretty cool and wondered why no one has tried to do this already and as the article says:
To a Mandarin speaker, saying the word ‘at’ in English sounds like ‘ai ta’ which means ‘love him’.
So at least it has some meaning but they also came up with the downside:
baby @ will find creating an email account a problem as most providers prohibit the use of special symbols as part of the user name
The full article can be found here.
Bebo launch profile views stats
10The latest feature to be added to Bebo is a profile views stats page. This new page shows you the number of people who have viewed your profile on hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis.
This new feature is not available on everyone’s profile yet, I’ll explain in a minute how to get it but first for you that do have it here’s where to find it.
On you’re profile page where it displays the number of profile views you have, this number will now be a link which if clicked will take you straight to the above page, Good Times!
Now if you don’t have the direct link then here’s the workaround for now before Bebo change it.
Log in to Bebo as normal and go to your profile page
Click on a friend in your top 16 preferably one that has you in their top 16
On your friend’s profile click on your profile in their top 16
If you’ve done this correctly you should get something like the following in your address bar
http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=1127692393
If you now change the word “Profile” in that address to “ViewCounter” (this is case sensitive it has to be exactly as it is here) making the address look like this
http://www.bebo.com/ViewCounter.jsp?MemberId=1127692393
And hit enter or go or whatever needs to be done to go to that page you will see your stats, Good Times!
If anyone is having trouble with this just give me a shout and it you like what you get leave me a comment.
