Submitted by Colin Durrant on

So we are into the first month of 2012 and after the over indulgence that the Christmas season brought you may be thinking about a detox or a health-kick to start off the New Year. Well….it’s not just you who needs one…your computers and servers need to have a health check too!

Hello from Spike|Mobile

Submitted by Greg Lehman on

Hello everyone at the SBCN!

I am very excited to be a part of this group. Those of you whom I have had the pleasure of meeting in person have given me a very warm welcome, and I feel like I am a part of the family.

To tell you briefly about myself, I work for Spike|Mobile, a startup based in Waterloo that specializes in Bulk SMS. Basically text message marketing. I hope to teach you about the many uses it has and also to debunk some myths that go along with it, such as you'll get nothing but spam or be charged $3 every time you get a message.

Receiving Email Notications From Groups on Facebook

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on

Did you know you can chose which emails you want to receive from Groups you are a Member of on Facebook.

Just take a look in the right hand colrner of the Group Page and look for the word "Notifcations",

click on the arrow pointing down and chose "Settings"

Then you can tick or un-tick the box depending on whether you want email notifications or not.

I know I used to get very confused about this until I worked it out. I personally only want to receive emails from certain groups and not all.
