I always value using technology to connect, to share and to engage in conversations with people in the social web, this is the day to celebrate that. | Today we acknowledge and celebrate the revolution of media becoming social. A day that honors the technological and societal advancements that have allowed us to have a dialogue, to connect and to engage not only the creators of media, but perhaps more importantly, one another. |
If 24% say they would trust a blogger who DISCLOSES getting free stuff to write about, then what percentage trust somebody who doesn’t disclose and then gets outed…answer? 0. (I hope)…
I do believe in karma and this is probably the first time I see a post that relates karma to social media, but regardless of that, these ways are something to have in mind as we experience with the cause and effect of our social media interactions. Whether you believe in karma or not, using social media successfully for your small business often has a lot to do with a series of seemingly disconnected events. Every comment you post online, every person you contact and every piece of content you upload adds to the sum total of your efforts in the blogosphere. Building relationships is important in any industry, but social media karma is the idea that what you do and how you behave will ultimately have an effect on you directly or indirectly. |
Social media karma is not often written about, but very often spoken about by bloggers, especially successful ones. Here are 10 ways you can improve your social media karma: |
OMG! Really? Ya think? Sorry for the snarky outburst. Honestly, I’m thrilled to see PwC thinks there’s hope for the internet and even social media after all.
If you’re interested in the report you can get it here: http://bit.ly/aj5DoA or you can just do some Google searches to get most of the content (that’s what I did) http://bit.ly/acuBCS Global accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has published its Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2010-2014, and it paints a rosy picture for new media at the expense of old. |
“Historically reading books or newspapers has been a solitary activity,” said Marcel Fenez of PwC. “However the combination of digital access, mobility and social networking is seeing consumption of all forms of media migrate from a solo activity towards being a social experience with viewers use social networking forums to discuss and share their views and content.“ Read more at channel.hexus.net |
Is this really a big deal? I mean hey, if you want my phone number it’s on all of my websites plus you can look it up on sites like switchboard.com Sure, it’s an example of what you can do with Facebook’s privacy holes, but really…. well, what do you think?  Ever blithely submitted your digits to one of those “OMGGGG My Dog Chewed up My cell & i lost all my phone numbers!!!!” groups on Facebook? Well, sorry to say it, but your number is probably floating out there in the all-consuming ether that is the Internet.

The shift from pushing your URL out to multiple networks and broadcasting your message has got to happen or you’ll be in the dust wondering what hit you…. This is why everyone is talking about getting your face and personality out there and being prominent on social networks etc |
It means adapting from “trying to sell” to “making authentic connections”, from running “campaigns” to “small daily acts”, from “controlling your brand or image” to “being 100% yourself”, from being “hard to reach” to “available everywhere”. Read more at www.bufordmobley.com |
I’m happy to read they are taking care of their personal and professional reputations. I say it probably way too much but there is NO privacy on the internet.
Besides, where’s the mystery in a a new relationship if it’s all laid out on Facebook already?
The conventional wisdom suggests that everyone under 30 is comfortable revealing every facet of their lives online, from their favorite pizza to most frequent sexual partners. But many members of the tell-all generation are rethinking what it means to live out loud. Read more at www.nytimes.com |
The challenge is to get CIOs thinking out of the box when they prefer to stay firmly stuck in what they know and understand. I know, I know, you’ll say that’s a gross generalization and it is. But it’s also true in my experience. How CIOs Misunderestimate Social Media |
Why should a CIO care? I have long said that the real source of competitive advantage in the future will stem from an organization’s ability to rapidly assemble, disassemble, and reassemble high-performance teams. Collaboration and community will replace rigid structures. |
Been waiting for this one. I have owned, supported for friends and as a professional and otherwise interacted with many models and levels of Netbooks, and overall they have disappointed me as just being hard-to-type-on and low-powered versions of larger machines.
iPad is Apple’s usual deal, wait until a market is ready, then drop a medium-priced and stunningly-designed offering in and watch the waves lap out of the pool. iPad Brings the Growth of Netbooks to a Halt [CHART] |
 With more than one million iPads sold in the device’s first month of availability, it may not be too surprising that rival devices –- specifically netbooks –- are seeing a sales slump.
|
But when you look at the chart published by a Morgan Stanley analyst this morning, the drop-off in the netbook market both in April and in the months since the iPad was announced is rather dramatic. |
Less than a year ago, the netbook market was growing at a whopping 641% percent year-over-year. But in April, that growth slowed to just 5%, following month-over-month growth rate declines dating back to November of last year. |
Both iPads and netbooks play in the middle ground between smartphones and laptops. Adding credence to the theory that the former may be crushing the latter, Fortune cites research in the report that found “44% of U.S. consumers who were planning to buy an iPad said that they were buying it instead of a netbook or notebook computer.” |
That doesn’t bode well for netbook makers, though many of them are currently hustling to bring their own tablet devices to market. HP’s recent acquisition of Palm will also be a story to watch in this space, as it seems likely the computer giant will bring a webOS-powered tablet to market (this possibility it also mentioned in the Morgan Stanley report).
