5.0 out of 5 stars Off The Charts - Amazing Router!,
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
(16 months later, update at bottom) I've been following routers for about a year and determined this model would help future proof some wireless stuff we purchase next year. It's also one of, if not the strongest available. I was a little intimidated buying this one because of all it's features and not one of the traditional router brand. I thought setup would be a hassle. Boy was I wrong on all counts. This thing is wonderfully thought out...in all areas. It blows away Cisco's new "cloud for dummies", tricking some into online router accounts, so they can track your data usage.
Before setup I found 3 excellent HD Youtube videos (ASUS RT-N66U Setup...Wired...Wireless). They're made by a down to earth Asus employee who does a great job covering the setup wizard and various features. Getting it up is a breeze, very simple, takes a couple minutes for both wired and wireless. Before install you might want to check into the following:
1) Download the latest firmware from the ASUS website. The routers FW version listed at top of GUI, nice! (Router access is 192.168.1.1)
2) Decide if you want a different (SSID) name for the 2.4GHz and the 5GHZ channel and figure out what the names will be.
3) I used an online "WPA Key Generator" so the keys were ready before setup. I created a different one for each channel.
4) Visit smallnetbuilder.com forum for the AC66U. Read the couple threads on how they're getting strongest signals, best channels, frequency's, etc. Many passionate owners will help with timely support and tips.
5) Test your internet speeds and pingtest.net before - and after you install this new router.
The routers GUI is incredibly easy to understand and has tremendous amount of information and features. They use plenty of icons, images, grids, laymens terms, and "?" that provide simple explanations when hovering over. The ability to configure "port forwarding" was so simple I spent more time looking for complex steps, then the actual time to config.
THE BOX - Folks this is an impressive looking piece of hardware. It uses very dark/deep blue LED's just below the top surface. This dark blue lighting matches that same blue on our high end components. The small ASUS name in the back right corner is gold plated, a nice touch. The criss-cross grid pattern is done extremely well. The unit itself is solid, a very heavy device for it's size, which is nice for a change. I'm a fan of external antenna's and these look good, fully adjustable. They screw on so you could add extension cables to relocate them.
Surprisingly there is a small power button on the back - no more plug/unplug. There's also a WPS button on the back or AC66U. I discovered it's purpose on my Android phone, a WPS note next to router network name. This feature eliminates the need to enter long WAP keys. Hitting the WPS button in a timely fashion automates and finishes connection to router. I had no ideas this tech was in routers.
The feature called "Download Master" performs downloads for your PC. With a storage device attached I no longer need to leave my PC running while waiting for a download to finish. There's many other features you can add or simply turn on. It's the shizznit of routers for sure. I'm in the GUI every couple hours checking features, usage, etc. It's a great application for sure.
Since ASUS is making firmware changes frequently, listening to their customers, I was not worried about those minor glitches when first released this device. I was confident they would get it right and work things out. My unit is Hardware version A2, so they are updating hardware too. Stop your searching and reading - get this router - you will be happy.
UPDATE 2-2-2014: I was so happy with my router I bought another one in November 2012 for my sister. It's been powered on for 15 months straight...without one single issue or phone call from her (she's pretty tech inept). It's LAN wired to her all her entertainment components (ROKU, DirectTV, Receiver, PS3, TV). They mostly watch Amazon Prime movies and have had ZERO viewing issues. The wireless channels feed her laptop, Galaxy S3 phone, HP Officejet printer, and the "guest" account she provides friends and visitors. Again, not one issue so far. The router has not been touched since the day it was powered up. It's hard for me to believe some of the negative reviews.
My AC66U has also been flawless. It's probably processed over 100TB of data and no issues. My router also feeds via ethernet and wireless our laptops, phones, and entertainment system, including the routing of BluRay movies to all our TV's. I do wish the 5Ghz had a longer range but I rarely use that so I never turned up the signal strength. The 2.4 range gets me over a block from the house when listening to Iheart radio on my phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Swiss Army Knife of Consumer routers. Never buying from another brand EVER again.,
Brandon Dalton (Temple,Tx USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
First off, let me start by saying that this router isn't like the ones I have purchased in the past. I feel it is a enthusiast's router, but at the same time it is so much easier to setup even if you are a newbie. It took me just 1 minute to set this up and another minute to get it connected. If you are reading other reviews on here take them into consideration because this router is around 200 dollars.
Second, I am a student studying network administration and I don't know everything about Networking yet, but I am getting there.
Note: I will be updating this review to include a lot more when I have fooled around with it more.
This router not only met my needs, but it exceeded them. I logged in the router for the first time to find a plethora of amazing utilities and trust me when I say this "I wish Cisco would have their user interface on their routers like how Asus has it setup on this one. Its it remarkable how well they have polished the interface and make it so user friendly but at the same time giving us techies what we need.
The Specifics:
Connection: I get full bars and I have yet to go down the street to see if I still have a connection, but I will say this. My E1200 router would only give my mother that's on the other side of the house 3 bars. With this it is a max of 5 and her speeds are amazing when compared to the E1200's speeds.
Remember me saying Swiss Army Knife? Well this router has the following:
Guest network setup with 3 network keys for the 2.4ghz network and 3 network keys for the 5.0ghz network. Unheard of I say! Hats off to Asus for that.
Traffic manager is another nice add but one that is common place on every router out. What sets this one apart is the way that it saves the computers on your network and tells you there network name so that it will be easier to have QoS run flawlessly on the network.
Parental Controls that are so easy to setup a child can do it. Your kids will hate you but you will reign supreme!
USB Applications;
AiDisk Share files connected through the USB through the Internet. A must have if you need files you have forgotten.
Servers Center: You like your media on your computer and usb stick, who doesn't? This allows you to setup DLNA iTunes Server setup your media directory on your thumb drive that you connect to your router also. The option to allow FTP servers to run through the router is a step in the right direction. You can also setup how many users can be logged in at one time and setup the Work Group settings right on the router.
This is where other routers get blown in the dust. You can setup a Cloud service directly from the router itself. By Plugging in a USB thumb drive or a Portable hard drive into your router and setting it up you can access all your data on your usb with the apps on Google Play and the Itunes App Store. This allows for you to just make a cloud disk, smart access with the ability to make your computer wake on LAN so that you can access your data even if your computer is currently switched off. Also if you are a fan of the ASUS web storage you can have it sync up with it and use it to your liking.
Now to the Barebones: The network Advanced settings (Network junkies start drooling!)
General Tab- Here you have the settings for the server and you can setup your SSID/Password Authentication method and all of the settings you would normally see on a router.
WPS: Pretty much self explained if you have already had a router before. This setting allows you to setup at the push of a button on the router a easy connect system. I don't use it but it is a very handy feature to have if your a newbie to the networking game.
Bridge - Allows you to bridge the internet connection with a wireless access point that will repeat the signal throughout your house. In my opinion not needed because this router is a beast, but all the same if you live in a big mansion you can setup many access points and it will be buttery smooth.
MAC Address filter - This is where you can setup a more secure way to secure your network. This allows you to setup the router to only allow specific computers with only the mac address they have (this isn't 100% fool proof).
RADIUS - I don't know what this. Will update this shortly after finding out what it does.
Professional - All the settings you would ever want to play with are here. On this page alone you can setup the frequency (2.4ghz or 5ghz), enable the radio, set the days the radio is turned on, the time of day to turn the radio on and off, Option to Set your AP Isolated, Multicast settings, Preamble Type, RTS Threshold, DTIM Interval, Beacon Interval, Enable TX Bursting, Wireless Multicast Fowarding, Enable WMM APSD, Enhanced interference Management, and Tx Power adjustment.
LAN - I'm not going to go to far into it but I will go back over this review and revise stuff as it is needed. This has the basic settings like the LAN IP, DHCP Server settings, Routing rules for the router, IPTV settings, and Switch Control settings.
WAN - This has your Wide Area Network settings for those of you don't know what WAN means, this usually is used for businesses and I figure businesses do use this router for obvious reasons. I'll just go over the tabs on this part. I still have five more things to go over, not including the tabs on each so yeah this router is pretty beastly. This router has Port Trigger, Virtual Server/Port Forwarding options, DMZ, DDNS, and NAT Passthrough settings.
IPV6 - Self explanitory here. This is just Internet Protocol Version 6 settings.
VPN Server - Now this is a setting I will be using and anyone that is a network junkie will love. Setting up the Virtual Private Network settings is pretty much a breeze and if you come by any issues leave a comment and I will reply.
Firewall - This is pretty self-explained. You do have DDoS protection, URL Filter, Keyword Filter, and Network Services Filter tabs on this. I liked the DDos Protection option...turning that now now!
Administration - Now this is where things are different. On this router you can select 3 different modes under the Operation Mode tab, which is shown as soon as you select the Administration option. There is Wireless router mode which is the default, Media Bridge mode is very awesome in the face you can set it up so that you can stream videos and music to all your devices simultaneously. A big plus for all those who love media and who doesn't I know what I'll be playing with later. The System Tab has options for the router for the Admin side like the router Name and Password, plus it has WPS button Behavior settings like Toggle Radio (switching from 2.4ghz to 5.ghz) and Activating the WPS. This router also has the option to where you can Telnet into it (which I absolutely love). It also only allows people with specific IP's to be able to access the router to edit settings with the client list at the bottom. Just make sure you click the yes next to the Only allow specific IP setting on the router. Firmware upgrade tab just has the options for upgrading firmware. Pretty self-explanitory there. Restore/Save/Upload Setting tab has 3 settings. Of those settings, there are Factory default, Save Setting, and Restore setting. The restore setting asks for you to choose a file from your computer. it is a very nice feature to have if your are a Tech like me and don't have time for foolishness.
Well as you can tell this router is a superb router with many advanced features. Thus is why I call it the swiss army knife. I may just call my router McGuyver since it can do everything (for all you old school guys out there that know about the show I figured you could use a laugh).
I hope you liked my review and if you like it and it helps you feel free to tell amazon that it did. I'm trying to get into the program where amazon sends me stuff to review. I took the time to give everyone insight on this router because I love technology and I want to help the everyday man and woman. Thanks for reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Wireless Router, compared to Cisco,
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
Before having the great Asus RT-AC66U I was dealing with a Cisco E4200 v2 (Stay away from these routers). The Cisco E4200 v2 was a terrible product, it had an intermittent internet and slow speeds (I spent more than 1 hour with Cisco support trying configurations) then I gave Cisco another chance, I bought a Bran new Cisco EA4500, same problem impossible to get it to work properly. I did a lot of research and it looks like many many people are having these problems with Cisco and there is no fix. The 2 Cisco high end routers that I have tryed were really bad, dropping a poor signal on both 2.4 and 5.0 and really slow slow. Then I got the Netgear AC 1750 (R6000) It worked really well, but I didn't like that in the configuration you could not choose N or AC modes only, instead it says Up to 450 Mbps, Up to 1300 and like that so it enables all Wifi types and you can not use it as N only, apart from that it was so Bulky even the charger was large as the ones found in laptops.
I Just received the Asus RT-AC66U and it works great, excellent range and speed link (260Mb 10 meters -33 ft- away from the router, some walls in the middle) The Set up has easy options for novice and advanced tools for expert and it look really good. The router has the better construction quality that I have seen, the plastic, the terminals and everything looks really good quality (The Netgear looked so cheap from the outside, and the Cisco was just ok)Even the box was better quality and better printed that the Cisco and Netgear ones, also the manual. The router's look is great, like a jewelry box.
Great Range and Speed
Great configuration interface
Good construction quality
Detachable antennas (you can upgrade to a larger antenna for extra coverage)
Compact compared to other AC Routers
- dd-wrt Firmware likely to be available for this router some time soon
It warms up more than others, but I think it's normal.
I would recommend this router to anyone, Great product overall.

1.0 out of 5 stars Take it from a computer engineer: do not buy this router,
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
I felt compelled to review this product based on several recent discussions with colleagues at work who also purchased the AC66U. Being engineers, we all pride ourselves on having the best technology, and so all of us read the same CNET reviews that led us to believe this was, hands-down, best in class. All of us had the exact same experience with this device, described as follows:
- It will work just fine for a few weeks, if not a few months
- You'll start to notice the range of this device degrading (many of us increased the transmit power as a result)
- The 5G band will become especially hard to connect to
- The 5G band will slow to a crawl and effectively become unusuable
- The 2.4G band will follow-the same pattern as described for the 5G band
- Shortly after your wireless becomes unusable, the entire network (referring to wired connections) will stop working
Ultimately, you have to power cycle the unit to get internet working. When this became a pattern, we all tried the same thing: increased the tx power, upgraded the firmware, turned off 5G, and yet the cycle described above would eventually repeat. For me, it just got faster and faster - finally, the router would only operate for a day or two before dying.
To make it more interesting, when my range got to be significantly worse,I convinced myself that it must be due to increased RF noise (new houses being built nearby and a lot of new SSIDs showing up) - so I went out and bought a second one (still convinced the router was the best-in-class) with the intention of using it as an access point that could extend my range. This new device was the same model but a slightly newer hardware revision. Same exact behavior. As an experiment, I switched the devices and used the new one as the router and the old one as the access-point. Same exact behavior.
I'm back to my old Netgear N router, which works just fine in the same environment (can even cover the entire house without problem). I contacted ASUS, who agreed to RMA both devices, though I have to pay for shipping. When I complained about this at work, I was surprised to discover that a number of my coworkers had the exact same experience - many of them ended up throwing the things away.
I'm always skeptical of bad reviews when something has this many 5-star ratings - I assume it's just a few grumpy people who like to complain. I can only assume that the large number of 5-star reviews are due to the fact that people evaluated it after a very short period of use. If you only need a router for a few days: this is just the device - for everyone else: DO NOT BUY THIS ROUTER. I'm going to try the new AC TimeCapsule from Apple next...

4.0 out of 5 stars Stylish looks and great performance! Can we call this 'Dark Knight Rises'?,
Jayhan (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
Update (10/1/12):
I downgraded the firmware back to 164. Since I upgraded the firmware to 220, I have already rebooted the router about 4~5x, the internet connection suddenly stops. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel that the router is a bit warmer when I touch it using firmware 220. I don't have any temperature measuring device so I can't confirm that it's really warmer (I did not adjust the transmit power setting, fyi).
Update (9/12/12):
I updated the firmware to version 18.104.22.168.220, and the 2 previous problems I stated is still existing.. I don't mind it that much but I still hope Asus fixes it soon. Workaround for 1.) I connect my PC to 2.4Ghz. 2.) I use Splashtop from my iPhone to connect to my home PC from office.
AiCloud looks promising, supposedly you could view/play your media files from your iphone/ipad and android devices within and outside your network. But I'm stuck with the loading page, after I put my login user and password. My iphone can't login. Can anyone confirm if the aicloud works?
Update (8/30/12):
So far have encountered 2 problems with the latest firmware (22.214.171.124.164)
1. I'm using Nero Media Home 4 in my PC to share my media to my wireless TV, Bluray and PS3. When my PC is connected to 5Ghz, the tv, bluray and ps3 cannot connect to Nero. When I connect to 2.4Ghz, they can see Nero and play the media. This works fine with N66U.
2. I have setup port forwarding for Remote Desktop Connection, so I can connect to my home PC from my office. It's not working. This again, is working fine with N66U.
QOS is also a known problem, but I'm not using it for now. I believe it's just a firmware issue since both are working with N66U. I hope it gets fixed with the next firmware release.
Original Review:
I bought this to share my media files, from an external hard drive, to my 3d tv and wireless bluray in bedroom. So far I'm not disappointed. I also have N66U to compare with, I've read from other reviewers that this router gets hot, when I touch the top part, it is warm but not hot, which is the same with my N66U.
This is suppose to have a greater coverage compare to N66, but to my experience, the coverage is the same, which is already awesome.
Initial setup was very straightforward, easy, fast and CD-less. Below are the actual steps after opening the box:
1. Connect LAN cable from modem, LAN cable going to PC, and power cable
2. Open web browser. Router setup page automatically shows up. Click Next
3. Type the User login and Password that you want. Click Next
4. Type the SSID and key for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (or you can click the checkbox: Copy 2.4Ghz settings to 5Ghz settings). Click Apply.
After that, your wireless device should now be able to connect to your new router. I even used the same SSID and password from my previous router, and my devices connected automatically after the setup.
These are my devices that connects to this router:
- 3 laptops
- 2 Iphones
- Ipad
- wireless tv
- wireless bluray
- wireless printer
No problem with connections, no disconnects, iphones when outside the apartment are still connected.
- Media Bridge mode. Applicable using 2 AC66U. This feature is not available to N66U
- Dual band, 450Mbps+1300Mbps. I can't comment with the AC speeds, I don't have wireless AC clients for now.
- HTTPS authentication when accessing admin page. If your using this for office/business use, this is plus.
- AiCloud. Coming soon, the app is not yet available from the appstore/googleplay as of this review. (This is now available as of firmware version 220.127.116.11.220)
- 2 USB ports. Supports external hard drives, printers or 3g/4g modems
- 3TB external harddrive works (Manual says only up to 2TB is supported). Tested using Seagate expansion 3TB STBV3000100. My TVs won't even accept 3TB harddrives when connected directly to its usb ports.
- DHCP Manual IP assignment (if you need static private IP on your device)
- DLNA. Streams HD vids, pics and 3D vids to my LG tv and my LG bluray player, no lags, no disconnects. And this is even using wireless connection and not wired.
- Awesome range. Before, I was using a cheap netgear, single band 2.4Ghz, included from my ISP. From the farthest point in my apartment, I get 2 bars of signal in windows 7 wireless network connection settings. With AC66U, I get full 5 bars using 2.4Ghz, and 4 bars on the 5Ghz band.
- 3 Large external antennas
- Download Master (if your into P2P downloading/uploading)
- Option to vertically stand the router, or wall mount
- User friendly setup
- Impressive performance particularly on 5Ghz band
- Stylish looks and superb quality
- Ability to install 3rd party firmwares
- Steep price (but worth it!)
- Lack of USB 3.0 (not a big deal, since I don't get usb 2.0 speeds for file transfer using FTP or Samba, which I already know before purchasing this)
- Manual is a bit helpful, but this router has tons of features and the manual only mentions the basic functionalities.
If you got the money, and want a great performing router and stylish as well, I Highly Recommend Asus RT-AC66U. If you're about to buy N66U, just add $20~30 to your budget, and get this router, you won't regret.

1.0 out of 5 stars Failed in 90 Days and Bad Support,
Brad J Thornton (Woodland Hills, CA, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
I expected a $200 product to work for more than 90 days and when it failed, I expected it to be backed up by its manufacturer. I got neither. They have a 48-hour turnaround time for emailed requests. It said to push the reset button. When that didn't fix it, they sent a link in their response to initiate RMA. After clicking on it and filled out the form, I got a reply a few hours later asking "Would you like to set up an RMA?" I called them instead and was told an email will be sent to me with RMA number and address to ship to. This email never came so I called the second time and stayed on the phone until I got their email in my inbox.
They do not ship a replacement in advance. You pay to ship the bad part to them and they have 10 business days to turn it around, excluding shipping time. I spoke to a supervisor who only reiterated their policy.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you need remote access to your network look for another router,
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
I got this router last week and my experiences are mixed so far. Fist the positive: the router is very fast and has the range no other router I tried had. With Asus EA-N66 access point as a client RT-AC66U is capable of reaching two stories straight down on very good speed. Other routers I tried were unable to achieve that. The router's web site is very informative and well designed.
Now the negative: If you have a device on your network such as server, storage or media streamer which provides remote access, this router is not for you. Remote access uses UPnP for port forwarding and this feature is not working with RT-AC66U. When I first received the router both my homeserver and NAS box reported UPnP setup as successful, but remote access wasn't working. Disabling the GRO option in the LAN's Switch control section did not help either. ALL devices I am aware of which provide remote access require forwarding of the ports 80 and/or 443. My internet search revealed that RT-AC66U firmware does not allow UPnP to forward ports below 1024. There is a way to bypass this restriction which involves enabling the telenet access to the router and issuing couple of the commands, but I am not sure that this hack is for everyone. After I managed to enable remote access I tried to enable the AirCloud (which is one of the main selling points of this router). That immediately broke remote access since AirCloud uses port 443. Enabling the firewall had the same effect.
ASUS technical support wasn't very helpful. This is the response I received to my question about UPnP and port forwarding:
My name is Joe and it's my pleasure to help you with your problem.
1.It could use UPnP to allow remote access to the devices on the home network.
2.The AirCloud can't be used together with the remote access.
I am not sure why Asus made a decision to quietly take over low range ports for AirCloud without explicitly documenting it. If AirCloud needs a port Asus should have provide a mechanism to reassign it.
I will keep the router for now because of it excellent speed, but if Asus will not provide a UpNP/AirCloud compatibility soon I will have to switch to another one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not ready for prime time,
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
This router has great potential but because of high cost, intermittent wifi issues and bad support you should look elsewhere. I have been using it for almost a year now. For the past 3 months I have had intermittent wifi issues. Usually slowness and or disconnects in the 2.4ghz band. This happens on multiple devices but does not happen on wired devices. I have used 2 other Lynksys routers and they do not experience the same wifi issues.
I contacted Asus support and they reluctantly agreed to allow me to send in the router for service. This process took 2 calls and over an hour on the phone. After a few weeks I received a box for Asus which contained my original router with no paperwork of any kind. In addition to lack of paperwork the power supply was missing. I contacted Asus and they said they tested my router and it was fine. I asked how long it was tested and they said "a few hours". I mentioned that the problem only happens every few days and they could care less. When I asked where my power supply was they told me that they are not responsible for accessories. I quoted their original RMA paperwork that states I need to send in the power supply and they reluctantly agreed to send me a new power supply.
After a few more weeks I still did not have a power supply so I contacted them again. This time they overnight and I actually got it.
I plugged everything back together on Tuesday and by Friday I had to do my first reboot. Same intermittent wifi issues that it has been doing all along. Don't waste your time with these people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome device, don't waste your time with other 802.11ac "solutions",
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
Purchased two of these (from TigerDirect, they were out of stock on Amazon when I went to order) and they are amazing. I've tried both the Buffalo and Cisco 802.11ac solutions and they were a joke. I have one in AP mode and one in media bridge mode. Speed and reliability are fantastic. The webGUI/firmware actually feels polished and provides a happy medium between simplicity and usability. I never thought of Asus as a WiFi AP manufacturer but it sure beats the heck out of the current competition. Being a software engineer I love that their firmware is based on an open source project and that I can download and compile a complete image myself making any changes I'd like.
I live on a 1/4 acre of hillside and this router covers nearly every inch of it with ease. Way to go Asus.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worked great for a day.,
Hotaru Miang (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router (Personal Computers)
I was happy to upgrade the wifi router because our service provider recently upgraded download speed in our neighborhood. The Asus arrived quickly, was relatively easy to set up, and looks pretty cool. Everything worked wonderfully for about 24 hours. Download speeds were faster and my wife and I could use our laptops at the same time to do powerful things.
Then we lost connectivity.
I tried all the regular fixes: unplugging and replugging the router and modem; resetting the router; resetting the modem; referencing online discussion boards for techie insight. Nothing worked, so I called customer service.
Based on my description of the problem, they explained that I was having a software issue and would need to pay $65 to have someone connect remotely to my router. My answer: No. After having paid for the product, I expect that it works more than 24 hours before having to pay for service. The customer service representative explained that I would receive free tech help if I had purchased the router from ASUS directly, which is funny because the ASUS website lists Amazon.com as the first choice in a "where to buy" list.
I am disappointed in ASUS, would not recommend that anyone purchase this, and will likely avoid ASUS products in the future.

DETROIT—Mixing Scripture from the Koran and the Bible with foreign policy, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan issued a call for worldwide religious unity Sunday during his farewell address, urging Christians, Muslims and Jews to work toward peace.
Thousands of followers of the Nation of Islam as well as African-Americans of all faiths gathered for the event, possibly the last chance to see and hear Farrakhan, considered one of the most charismatic and controversial religious figures of modern times.The two-hour speech marked the first time the ailing Farrakhan, 73, had addressed the public in nearly seven months since ceding control to the group's executive board.
Walking onto the stage at Ford Field to thunderous applause, Farrakhan thanked those who had prayed for his recovery. Then he spoke of the need for religious unity. He lamented Muslims fighting each other, Sunni against Shiite. He talked of the similarity found in the teachings of Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad, saying that if Christians and Muslims followed those directions, the world would be far less troubled.
"Jesus and Muhammad gave followers directions. If Muslims lived the life Muhammad taught, we would not be in the shape we are today," he said. "We like to praise the prophet, but not follow the prophet."
"If Jesus and Muhammad were on this stage right now, they would embrace each other," Farrakhan said.
"How come we the people of God cannot embrace each other in the love of God and the love of the prophets that we praise?"
Farrakhan also criticized the Bush administration for the war in Iraq. As he spoke about his opposition to the Iraq war, Farrakhan repeated the mantras, "God is angry" and "God is not mocked."
But the crowd applauded loudest when he called for the impeachment of President Bush.
"Look at our government, our president. The deception, the outright lies," he said. "If they wrote articles of impeachment for Bill Clinton ... what should they do about a man lying to the American people?"
In September, the Muslim leader issued a letter detailing his failing health--he had suffered complications from cancer treatment--and handed leadership of the Nation of Islam to an executive board.
Last month, Farrakhan underwent a 12-hour abdominal surgery that left him hospitalized for five weeks. The executive board and subsequent hospitalization led many observers to speculate whether Farrakhan might appoint a successor.
Although Farrakhan did not name a successor, he left no doubt it was time for a new era of leadership.
"My time is up," Farrakhan said. "The Final Call can't last forever."
Farrakhan also warned black men not to join the military, saying it would be the worst mistake they made.
He blasted music producers and hip-hop artists who send negative messages to youth.
"We need to ... talk to our gang bangers and drug pushers to get back to being protectors of our community and not destroyers of our community," he said. After the speech, members of the Nation of Islam, like Duke Muhammad of Las Vegas, praised Farrakhan for speaking about current affairs and inspiring them to seek change.
"It was very powerful, very inspiring. He helped us to see the seriousness of this hour and accept responsibility to do what we can to make things right."
Abdullah Muhammad of Columbus, Ohio, who is Muslim, but not a member of the Nation of Islam, said he believes Farrakhan spoke about common issues as a way of bringing people together.
"It was truthful. All the things he said about foreign policy and getting us into a war under false pretense. Those are issues everyone can relate to," he said. "We need to find what we have in common so we can work out the problems."

GOOD MORNING DELMARVA - The Waterfowl Festival returns to historic Easton, Md. for its 43rd year on November 7-10, 2013. More than 18,000 visitors are expected to experience a time-honored Eastern Shore tradition that pays homage to the annual migration of ducks and geese through the Atlantic Flyway and supports wildlife and habitat conservation throughout the region. The Festival kicks off with Opening Ceremonies and the Premiere Night Party on Thursday, November 7th and then opens to general admission guests on Friday, November 8th.
"Like all traditions, the Festival continues to evolve and change, but we are still as committed to celebrating and conserving our Eastern Shore heritage as our founders were in 1971," said Ron Flohr, Waterfowl Festival Board President. "We are looking forward to another great year with new additions and returning favorites."
As part of Thursday's Premiere Night Celebration, the Festival debuts the new Premiere Night Party at the Tidewater Inn, which will follow the established Opening Ceremonies, Downtown Gallery Tour and Cocktail Decoy Auction and begin at 7:00pm. This new addition will offer live music, open bar, stationed buffet, and an exclusive live auction featuring a photo safari trip to Africa, an Argentina wingshooting experience, a one-of-a-kind Bill Westphal jewelry design, an original sculpture by long-time Festival exhibitor Don Rambadt, and an exclusive painting by 2013 Featured Artist, painter Richard Christian.
Also new this year is 2013 Waterfowl Festival Featured Artist, painter Richard Christian, and his signature piece, Kaleidoscope, which is this year's poster image and the inspiration for the 2013 promotional materials. The original piece, along with other paintings by Christian will be on display in the Featured Artist Pavilion on Harrison Street. The Masters Gallery at the Avalon Theatre will also host the exclusive Celebrating the Chesapeake Collection – a series of maritime, agricultural and waterfowling plein air scenes by long-time Festival artist, Heiner Hertling, inspired by the heritage and landscape of the Eastern Shore.
The Festival also debuts the new Craft Brew Pub at the Easton Elks Lodge that will offer local and national craft beer tastings and traditional Chesapeake fare. The Festival is also proud to add the inaugural World Championship Team Goose Calling Contest to the four established competitions taking place Friday and Saturday of the Festival weekend at Easton High School.

By Mark Toomey, PhD., Director of Ayurvedic Programs, The Raj Maharishi Ayurvedic Spa and MAPI Staff Writers , (Article continued from last week)
Weak Agni Can Mean Easy Weight Gain
According to Ayurveda, weak agni leads to the condition whereby even very small amounts of food tend to cause weight gain.
What happens in this case is that weak agni allows ama (impurities)
to be created, which accumulates as fat tissue. The Ayurvedic solution
is to balance agni, increase the metabolic rate and eliminate the ama.
Exercise helps to burn ama and increases circulation and metabolism.
Walking briskly 30 minutes a day, or other activities such as dancing,
swimming, biking, hiking or weight training, are all recommended.
You can also help balance digestion with Ayurvedic herbs used to enhance agni. Digest Tone (Triphala Plus)
is a traditional herbal formulation that balances agni. Following a
diet that stimulates digestion and reduces Kapha by favoring astringent,
bitter and pungent tastes and reducing salty, sweet and sour foods will
also help balance agni. The spices found in Organic Kapha Churna Spice Mix can help to balance Kapha and weak agni. Be Trim Tea is an herbal infusion that supports a normal, balanced appetite. The Ayurvedic herbs and spices include Gymnema Sylvestre (see image on right), Fennel Seed, Cinnamon and Cardamom, which help balance fat and sugar metabolism and curb snack cravings.
also show that consistently going to bed late can lead to weight gain.
Ayurveda recognizes the weight-balancing effects of daily routine
(called dinacharya) for maintaining healthy weight. These small
adjustments to routine can create significant balance in mind and body.
The recommendations for daily routine include ideal times to go to sleep
and wake up, eating times, dietary habits, food combinations and more.
For tips on daily dinacharya, click here.
Emotional Overeating (And herbs that can help)
when you are not hungry or looking for something sweet to pacify an
unpleasant mood are signs of lack of a state of balance. Ayurvedic
herbals can help. Organic Stress Free Emotions and Stress Free Mind are two Ayurvedic products that help with both emotional and physical stresses. Worry Free tablets support a calm, relaxed mind and deeper sleep. Blissful Joy tablets help uplift the emotions.
Organic Digest Tone (Triphala Plus)
is an agni-balancing group of traditional herbs (Amalaki, Bibhitaki,
Haritaki and Cabbage Rose). These herbs are excellent for reducing ama
and the dhatu associated with fat metabolism. Vidanga (found in Amrit Nectar and other Maharishi Ayurveda products) is excellent for balancing Vata and Kapha doshas. Shilajit or Mineral Pitch, found in Vital Man and Vital Lady, is excellent for decreasing excess fat and reducing ama. Guggul is strongly detoxifying and cleansing. Research has shown its ability to help support healthy fat levels.
The herbs in Rejuvenation for Men and Rejuvenation for Ladies
can be taken by men and women respectively. Both of these formulas
contain Shilajit. According to the US National Library of Medicine,
National Institutes of Health (NCBI),
"Shilajit has been used as a rejuvenator and an adaptogen for thousands
of years, in one form or another, as part of traditional systems of
medicine in a number of countries. Many therapeutic properties have been
ascribed to it, a number of which have been verified by modern
scientific evaluation."
Other Ayurvedic weight-balancing tips include:
1. Eat good organic
fats such as olive oil. The amount will depend on your body weight or
doshic makeup. Vata types can have more oil due to their tendency to
dryness. Pitta should have less, and Kapha no more than two teaspoons a
2. Eat more organic fresh vegetables, and focus on whole grains like
quinoa, whole barley, oats, millet, or amaranth. Also include good
protein, such as dahl, lentils and nuts.
3. A cup of digestive lassi after lunch will help maintain those billions of good bacteria in your gut. For a recipe, click here.
4. Barley or Kanji water can be a big help in maintaining fluid
balance, reducing cravings and assisting in the removal of toxins. See a recipe here.
5. Generally cut back on or avoid cold foods and drinks, aged cheese,
potatoes, yeasted breads, butter, cookies, cakes, ice cream,
chocolates, deep-fried foods and cream sauces, and reduce your intake of
6. For breakfast try some stewed apples and/or pears with a few raisins, and a little cardamom and cinnamon.
7. Fasting or skipping meals is not recommended, as this can lead to weakened agni and binge eating
8. Aim to have your main meal at mid-day and favor a delicious but lighter meal for dinner. Generally avoid meals after 8 p.m.
The Art and Science of Balance: Maharishi Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, people are viewed as unique expressions of nature's
intelligence. Ayurveda identifies the unique differences in the doshic
makeup of each person. Ayurvedic experts not only design a dietary
program that is best for each unique dosha combination but, as
importantly, focus on improving the quality of digestion and metabolism.
Good mental health involves a stable condition of esteem and
happiness, no matter what the physical structure. Focusing on healthy
lifestyle habits that also help improve your physical and mental
self-image is a great self-help technique
The goal of Ayurveda is to educate a person, intellectually and
experientially, about their beautiful unique physiology. Lifestyle
choices, including effective stress reduction, managing diet and using
herbal formulas, can help create a truly satisfied, stress-free person
who is not subject to the whims of emotions or held hostage by their

A website is trying to make a quick buck off convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell.
Serialkillersink.net is pushing little bags of soil from Sowell's Imperial Avenue home in Cleveland. The cost is $25 bucks per bag.
The man who runs the site says he obtained the dirt from a recent trip to the city.
51-year-old Sowell was sentenced to death row for the mass murder of eleven women between June 2007 and September 2009. The victims' remains were found inside and outside of Sowell's Imperial Avenue home.

Breaking the Big News: Sharing Your Pregnancy
Telling loved ones you're pregnant can be one of the most thrilling parts of pregnancy. As the following stories show, how and when mothers-to-be share the news varies as much as their personalities. Some confide in family and friends immediately after a positive pregnancy test, while others wait until the more traditional three-month mark. One common theme? The immediate support of loved ones as this new stage of life begins.
Sharing News Early
Sometimes disclosing the big news before the end of the first trimester makes the most sense. New mom and chemistry teacher Julie Saxton of Kent, Connecticut, "wanted to tell as many people as possible at exactly the same time so no feelings were hurt," she says.
To do so, she and her husband shared their pregnancy with everyone around the table at Thanksgiving, when Saxton was about 10 weeks along with Linnea, now seven months old. They called family members who weren't there right afterward. This was the first baby for any of the four grandparents-to-be, so the holiday was a perfect occasion to bring everyone together for the announcement.
"There was no way we could have waited until after the holiday meal," Saxton says, "because my morning sickness was so bad, I couldn't be in the same room as that turkey!"
Wait a Little While
Delight Satter and her husband waited until the second trimester to tell everyone they were having a baby, except for one person—their Inupiat elder, an Alaska Native.
We told her a few weeks before the end of the first trimester, says Satter, an Umpqua from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. "The Elder began traditional prayers for the baby and us right away."

Named after the muleteers who traded garlic around the inland meseta's towns and villages, ajoarriero dishes remain a part of everyday cooking. The salt cod ones are the most famous, but I like this dish from Valladolid because of the quieter flavors. This is, by the way, one of the region's few really distinctive vegetable dishes -- other than pisto and asadillo, both based on bell peppers -- and is great with a full red wine.

1 large cauliflower5 cloves of garlic3 tbsp roughly chopped parsley1 tsp rock salt or sea salt3 tbsp olive oil and a little extra for fryingAbout 2 tsp pimentón, sweet or bittersweet (to taste)Splash of wine vinegar
Wash and break the cauliflower into small florets and simmer in salted boiling water until just tender. Meanwhile, pound four of the garlic cloves, the parsley, and salt in a mortar. Stir in the olive oil and three tablespoonfuls of the cauliflower's cooking water.
Separately, sauté the final sliced clove of garlic in a little olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Turn the heat down to low, add the pimentón and a little wine vinegar, and stir in the mortar's contents. Bring everything briefly to a boil.
Drain the cooked cauliflower well in a colander, transfer to a heated serving dish, and pour the contents of the frying pan over the top.

When teacher David Long asks a question, the hands of fifth graders shoot into the air. This is a topic that intrigues them.
"I've never experienced having a pope that didn't die," says student Lauren Pels. "He's resigning. That hasn't happened in a very long time. It's unusual. It's a great opportunity to witness this."
The students at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Bethesda are watching closely as cardinals select a new pope. Right now, what they are learning in their lessons makes the nightly news.
The kids can tell you what started the papal name change.
"About the 15th pope - I believe it was - changed his name because it was Mercury. He thought it would be bad to be the leader of a Christian church if he had the name of a Roman god," explains Finn Anderson.
There is another reason these kids will be watching closely. You see, they have each adopted one cardinal. If their particular cardinal is elected pope, that student has no written homework for the rest of the year. You can bet they will be praying for a win.

Navy Seaman Patrick B. Ledlum recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Ledlum completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, shipboard and aircraft safety and physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations," an exercise that gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Ledlum is a 2005 graduate of Varina High School.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014

In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

When the cliche stands tall
Inspirational football movie tries too hard for its own good
When the Game Stands Tall is based on a true story – an unbelievable true story that takes the word "inspiring" about as far as it can go.
It's a film about Bob Ladouceur, coach of the De La Salle High Spartans, a California high school football team with 12 consecutive undefeated seasons (a staggering 151 games won in a row).
Along the way, Ladouceur (played by Jim Caviezel) faced the kind of hardship most football coaches (thankfully) can only imagine – suffering a near-fatal heart attack, the death of a star player, and rebuilding the team after that 151-game streak came to a humiliating end. > Read more.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker will not take sides in a U.S. House primary that could offer a Republicans voters a choice between tea party conservatism and a more moderate GOP tradition.
State Senate Republican Glenn Grothman of West Bend, one of the Legislature's most outspoken conservatives, says he'll run against 35-year House incumbent Tom Petri of Fond du Lac.
Walker said the only campaign he's focusing on is his own.
Grothman said Thursday that Petri represents a Republican establishment that has not done enough to slash federal spending. Grothman condemned the size of the national debt, growing numbers of food stamp recipients, and increases in claims for job disability payments.
In various interviews Thursday, Grothman said he would work to end Obamacare and remove what he called a "disincentive to work."
Petri says his record of, "pragmatic conservatism" speaks for itself, and he expects to win his GOP primary on August 12th.
Grothman predicted that other Wisconsin House Republicans would get behind their colleague -- and both Paul Ryan and Sean Duffy endorsed Petri late Thursday.
Democratic state Assembly leader Peter Barca said the race would be, "a real bellwether to see how far the Republican Party moves to the right."

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A storm is expected to hit parts of San Diego County this week and that could mean flash flooding, especially in the outer regions of the county.
Some local fire stations will be giving out free sandbags Wednesday to help residents protect their homes, neighborhoods and streets from flooding.
Anyone interested in receiving a free sandbag, needs to bring a shovel to one of seven fire stations and San Diego County's Department of Public Works will provide the free bags and sand to fill them. An eighth fire station is offering bags only.
Residents who live in unincorporated communities can get free sandbags at these locations:
Alpine, 1364 Tavern Road
Bonita, 4900 Bonita Road
Dulzura, 17304 Highway 94
Fallbrook, 4375 Pala Mesa Drive
Julian, 1587 Highway 78
Pauma Valley, 16971 Highway 76
Ramona, 3410 Dye Road.
Valley Center, 28205 N. Lake Wohlford Road
Because San Diego County is dry most of the year, heavy rains can create severe soil erosion, damage homes and properties, flood roads and clog storm drains and culverts.

A state report says Iowa's tobacco tax revenue has dropped more than 9 percent since 2008.
Iowa Department of Public Health spokeswoman Polly Carver-Kimm told The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/1i0CD2m ) that she hopes the revenue is down because fewer people are smoking.
About 16 percent of adult Iowans were smokers in 2010, the most recent year for which trend data are available. The figure was about 20 percent in 2007, the same year state cigarette taxes were raised $1 a pack.
State fiscal analyst Shawn Snyder cited two key factors influencing Iowa tobacco tax revenue: Iowa's ban on smoking in most public places, which took effect in July 2008, and the federal government's 2009 cigarette tax increase of 62 cents a pack.

Telus likely to top earnings
The communications company, based in Canada, is expected beat expectations when it reports its first-quarter 2013 results on Thursday.
By Zacks Equity Research
We expect Canadian-based Telus Corporation (TU) to beat expectations when it reports its first-quarter 2013 results on Thursday.
Why the likely, positive surprise? Our proven model shows Telus is likely to beat earnings because it has the right combination of two key ingredients.
Positive Zacks ESP: Expected Surprise Prediction or ESP, (Read: Zacks Earnings ESP: A Better Method), which represents the difference between the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, is +3.77%. This is a meaningful and leading indicator of a likely positive earnings surprise.
Zacks Rank #3 (Hold): Telus currently has a Zacks Rank #3. Note that the stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) and 3 (Hold) have a significantly higher chance of beating the earnings.
The combination of Telus's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and +3.77% ESP makes us confident of a positive earnings beat on Thursday.
What is driving the better-than-expected earnings?
Telus' ongoing investment in the expansion of its fiber optic network provides compelling home entertainment services in the Western Canadian market. The company continues to add new features, as well as upgrading the existing features of its popular Optik TV and Optik High Speed Internet broadband services that are gaining strong traction across the Canadian region.
The company is providing 4G LTE networks with the popular smartphones, which resulted in solid growth in its post-paid divisions.
However, Telus remains challenged by the weak Canadian economy and domestic competition, which is expected to intensify with the entry of new wireless players. Moreover, the higher burden of subsidy cost, associated with smartphones coupled with lack of spectrum, will continue to impede the company's growth opportunities.
Other stocks to consider
Other companies you may consider on the basis of our model, which have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter, are as follows:
Research in Motion Limited (BBRY) currently has an Earnings ESP of +200.00% and holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) has an Earnings ESP of +6.45% and holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Dish Network Corporation (DISH) has an Earnings ESP of +1.89% and carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The Baltimore Sun
6:09 PM EDT, May 23, 2013
TORONTO -- Kevin Gausman arrived in the visiting clubhouse of the Rogers Centre on Thursday to find about $300 worth of powdered mini doughnuts stacked inside and at the base of his locker, another nice welcoming gift from center fielder Adam Jones.
The 22-year-old Gausman will make his major league debut tonight against the Blue Jays. Gausman -- who was known for eating doughnuts between innings at LSU -- apparently needed to go back to his apartment near Bowie to get his passport before joining the club.
And unlike his arrival in Baltimore on Wednesday – when cameras and recorders crowded his locker and watched his every move – there was no hoopla when travel secretary Kevin Buck presented Gausman with his contract to sign and officially become a major leaguer.
To make room for Gausman on the 25-man roster, the Orioles optioned right-hander Jake Arrieta to Triple-A Norfolk. He will jump back into the starting rotation there. The team designated right-hander reliever Alex Burnett for assignment to make room on the organization's 40-man roster.
Jones, who is dealing with a sore groin, is in the DH spot for the third straight game. Jones said he's confident he will be back in center field Friday. Showalter said he wants to be careful with Jones on the artificial turf here in Toronto.
Wilson Betemit (Grade 2/3 PCL tear) saw team doctors in Baltimore and has been cleared to begin light baseball activities next week. Catcher Taylor Teagarden (left thumb) caught live batting practice and took BP swings against coaches on Thursday in Sarasota, Fla.
Here are tonight's starting lineups:
Nate McLouth LF
Manny Machado 3B
Nick Markakis RF
Adam Jones DH
Chris Davis 1B
Matt Wieters C
J.J. Hardy SS
Chris Dickerson CF
Alexi Casilla 2B
Kevin Gausman RHP

Death to the Facebook-Twitter Autopost
Up until today my tweets on Twitter have been nothing more than an auto feed from my public Facebook updates. I did this for three reasons:
1. I'm lazy. Updating Facebook and Twitter is annoying and one extra step that didn't seem worth it.
2. Twitter is annoying all around. If I didn't have to use it I wouldn't. But people use it, and they expect me to use it, so here I am.
3. Up until now my Facebook friends and Twitter followers have been two different audiences. Rarely anyone who followed me on Twitter was also a Facebook friend. So by updating the same content to both, people were not annoyed at seeing it twice.
But things have changed. Not only do people now follow me on both, but I also have new followers that don't necessarily need to see (or want to see) everything I post.
So I've made some changes, and going forward this is how I'm going to use the networks:
I'll use Facebook the majority of the time to post anything and everything. If I want you to engage with the content I'm posting, other than just sharing it with your friends then I'll put it on Facebook. Facebook is perfect for conversations, sharing, and communicating.
There are two ways you can follow me on Facebook:
FRIEND ME: If we've met in person, or we work together, and we actually know each other then we can be Facebook friends. I may limit what you see by adding you to certain groups on Facebook that block more intimate details of my life (like the kids in the bathtub, or my home address), but if you're a friend on Facebook then you'll see mostly everything and that's because you're someone I can trust.
SUBSCRIBE: If we don't know each other, but you'd still like to follow along and view my updates, then you can subscribe to me on Facebook. You'll be able to receive my public status updates in your news feed, and anything else I've marked for the public. This is a great way to follow along with me if we don't actually know each other, or if you really don't care to see photos of my kids or get too personal.
Changing your subscribe settings: The Subscribe feature is new on Facebook, and most people still don't understand it.
Here's two tips to help you:
1. If we're friends already and you wish to just subscribe to me instead, go ahead and de-friend me, then click the Subscribe button on my profile and you'll be able to choose exactly what you subscribe to (updates, photos, check-ins, etc.)
2. Or if we're friends and you wish to remain that way, but you think I post too many photos or I check in to too many places, then go to my profile/timeline and hover over the Subscribed button. You can then disable the things you don't care to see from me.
Twitter is public and anyone can follow me. But I hate having conversations on Twitter. I post something and then people want to go back and forth on it like we're on Facebook. Twitter just isn't setup well for that.
Also, the majority of people following me on Twitter just want updates and news from me, they don't necessarily want to engage. So from now on, what I'll post to Twitter will be mainly informational. This is what Twitter does best, a feed of news and updates, and if you like what you see you can retweet it to your followers but there's little room for conversations and community.
If you'd like to engage with me on Twitter, here are a couple suggestions:
@Replies - Don't be shy about @ replying to me on Twitter. A comment or quick question about something I posted is completely appropriate. Having a full on conversation 6 or 7 @ replies long is annoying not only for me, but for everyone else who follows either of us on Twitter.
DM - If you're anti Facebook, or you're following up with something I only posted to Twitter, feel free to DM me and we'll have a conversation. But honestly, just go on Facebook - it's much easier.
Other Networks
TUMBLR - I'm also going to be creating a lot more content here on my Tumblr blog. If I have something to say that's more than 140 or so characters, then I'll blog about it here and share it on Facebook and Twitter.
LINKEDIN - I do post to LinkedIN occasionally, but only if its something 100% business related or promoting a project I'm working on.
INSTAGRAM - Now that Instagram posts full size photos directly to Facebook instead of a link that takes you to the lame Instagram landing pages, I've been using it every time I post photos. I love the interface, the filters and the separate community of artistic mobile photographers. Right now the majority of photos I post to Instagram will auto-post to Facebook. Sometimes I'll upload several shots of the same thing and will only pick out 1 or 2 to send to Facebook, so if you follow along on Instagram you'll see all the photos and if you follow along on Facebook you'll only see the important ones. If you follow me on both, you'll see duplicate stuff - sorry.
FLICKR - Anytime I post a photo to Facebook it automatically gets uploaded to my Flickr account. That's because I use Flickr as my desktop screensaver, as well as the screensaver on our Apple TV at home. I in no way intend Flickr to be something for other people to follow me on, but you are free to follow me there if you wish.
You're Welcome
I hope this is helpful, and that following me on Facebook or Twitter will be a much more enjoyable experience for you. If you have any comments or feedback please let me know!
