Cafe World’s buzz goes down if a customer cannot find a seat or is not served in a timely manner. Your buzz also goes down if there is no food to eat. The highest buzz rating your Cafe can have is 105.

Here’s a few tricks to keep you Cafe World buzz up:

• Serve three dishes at a time. One counter will serve one dish, even if you have 4 orders of bacon cheeseburger you only need one counter to serve it. People like variety, so make three cheap dishes right away.
• Do not serve several drinks to the same customers. I have found that serving drinks (found in your gift box) to the same customers will bring the buzz down. Serve them once, then wait for a new batch of patrons.
• Serve customers quickly. Do this by blocking your waiters with tables and counters (if you do not have enough counters from the beginning). Form a straight line with counters and tables so the waiters are stuck on the same side as your stoves. They will immediately clean and serve.
• Have room for customers to walk around – they have to be able to move and access a chair. If they don’t, they will leave.
• Place several doors and entrances – Doors are free in Cafe World. Add several doors on each wall for easy customer access, so they always find a seat. Add plenty of chairs and tables, but make sure that they can be reached by customers.
• Close up shop – At night, take all your doors down. Click on “Function” and drag all your doors to the inventory. It will close up shop so no customers are buzzing down. You won’t get coins because no one is getting served, but your buzz won’t go down either.
  Use this time to cook dishes, as many as you can – like triple berry cheesecake that takes 12 hours. By the time you are up in the morning, you will have dishes that are ready to serve and your buzz will be high. The higher the buzz, the more customers and more coins you will be making.

The big thing with Cafe World is cooking food and preparing it in time, or it will spoil and you’ll lose coins. I’ve compiled a list of food spoil times for Cafe World so it does not happen to you. Make all the coins you can by cooking, serving and cleaning your stove. This will get you experience points, higher levels and you’ll be able to buy more equipment like stoves and counters.

I’m not into other Facebook games. They waste too much of my time, which I’m sure Farmville will do as well. Here’s my small, but growing farm. Check out how perfectly aligned my crop fields are.

Do you play Facebook games? Which one is your favorite?

I am excited about the new feature, as Facebook’s administrators indicated that more will be available from the username links. I can see many benefits to it from Google search engine results. If you choose the right username, it can mean better Google rankings. For writers, I would suggest thinking hard about your username and what you’ll choose to display. The username is permanent, cannot be transferred or deleted, so be wise.

My Bukisa article “Building and Promoting a Brand as a Freelance Writer” is on business branding, specifically how freelance writers can benefit by promoting themselves as a brand. Choosing your Facebook URL should fit into the branding idea, especially if you use Facebook for article promoting. If your freelance writer brand is a pen name, then the Facebook username should relate to that professional pen name. Same goes if you are using your real First Name, Last Name combination. Obviously, a freelance writer who is trying to brand and promote their published work, should not choose “snowflakes” as their Facebook username. Again, choose wisely, as it cannot be changed.

I am excited to lose my mile long URL, and have a shortened version that is easier to remember. I’m particularly excited about the fact that my Facebook can relate to my other online work, and will help with my Google standings.
