To be clear, this tool really refreshes Facebook's cache of a particular page. In addition, this tool doesn't clear any caches in Facebook pages. Rather, it checks third party pages for updated content.

I came across this while posting a status update with a link on a Page I manage. The link's preview showed some outdated information, which I knew had been updated already. Using this developer tool helped to update the cache to show the current information on the link preview.

TIPS & TRICKS: Save As Popup for Outlook 2010
User got a new MacBook Pro on which I installed Bootcamp and Parallels. User boots into OS X, uses Parallels to start the Bootcamp partition of Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. On that Windows 7 installation is Office 2010. In migrating over the user's almost 10GB worth of email data, I suggested we dump all of that archived email into Exchange. That's a lot of email data, I know. But, we had the space and figured we'd give it a go.
User opens up his PST files in Outlook 2010 and starts to move things into the Exchange area. After the first 1+ GB of data, he starts to get this window:
This annoying popup that came up every few minutes or so. Here are the things I tried:
- I checked to see if this would happen in another user's account on the same machine. It did not.
- I had him login to another machine to see if the problem would occur. It did not.
- I had him try just accepting the download for awhile. It did not stop.
- I created another Outlook profile to see if would continue. It did not.
- I tried to reinstall Outlook to see if it would stop the problem. It did not.
- I deleted his entire Windows user profile and created a new profile to see if it would stop the popups. It did not.
- Finally, I found this thread online: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/outlooksend/thread/5bf5f5a4-e36b-48f0-a28c-eaa94518bbf2
Basically, the problem is probably a combination of one or more email messages in his account that is trying to interact with Microsoft's new Social Connector called People Pane. Since he didn't need this feature, I disabled it in Outlook > View > People Pane > Off. The popups all went away.
I guess it's one of those things where old data meets new software.

RAVES: Social Networking for Enterprise
The explosion of social networking sites has been incredible. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc all have people updating themselves in one way or another. However, in the enterprise environment, I'm tasked with the duty of keeping data, content and IP safe. This goal and public social networking sites do not go well together.
Enter enterprise-level business networking sites. I just finished reading the eWeek article reviewing 3 potential solutions: Socialcast, Socialtext, and Huddle. We are seriously considering our options for capturing, processing, and presenting different types of videos. In reading the article, I kept an eye out for these sites to include video. Not much to be said, but the video aspect may be something that draws us into SAAS (Software As A Service) solution.
At the end of the day, our users are becoming more savvy. The way they handle personal business will easily carry over to work-related business and make them more productive if we provide the tools to do it.
More to come, I'm sure. Happy computing.
