Ways to beat your competition using social media channels – just be different
Social media is no more a buzz word. It's just business as usual for most companies especially those who have embraced social media. But in all this social media world people have gotten into the rat race of competition for fans, followers. Most companies judge their return on Investment based on the huge number of followers or fans. Let me get this straight to you. This is absolutely not the way to go about social media. Innovation and being natural is the key to success just like how we differentiate our own individual personality in
Will you get paid to be a friend?
In today's busy world how many of us actually have our true friends near us when we need them? How many of us take time out to nurture a relationship and grow this into a friendship? I believe friendship is and will always be sacred in my books. Its a bond that you nurture and grow over time. It's not a transaction.

During this time however we don't think of taking time out for our friends or for anyone we come across. I

Do you have the guts to do business like a prostitute
The other day my friend and I were walking down Queen street, Auckland. I was a bit tired and my mind was occupied on how to help a client get their social media campaigns sorted. This was particularly a tough campaign as it was targeted towards the food industry with many key players within the space. My friend and I were off to the NZ film festival but noticing my preoccupied self she asked me what was wrong. We kept brainstorming and then from topic to topic i have no clue how but we started speaking about how some
Will social networks be important in the politics of the future?
With social networks being a part of our everyday lives, it’s going to be interesting to see whether politicians and government will take an active role with the online world in policy making. We have read and heard that in countries where politics is a matter of life and death, social networks have played a significant role in investigations. If you take countries like China and India for example social networks are closely monitored as many hate groups can be created within a network, people misusing the simple tools provided, and Giants like Google are taken to court quiet
Could Nicholas Carr be right in his book – The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains?

Have you made a Living will for your Virtual Life?
I had never thought about this but today while browsing the internet and coming across the article written by The Consumerist about the facebook incident it got me thinking. Well the article about facebook incident was that Stephanie Bemister lost her brother. She contacted facebook requesting to delete his profile as he was no longer living. Facebook did not agree to this and responded that it was their policy to keep dead members profile's in a "memorialized" state. Consumerist put up a post regarding this and very shortly Facebook responded to Stephanie confirming that they have removed his profile. To
The blatant truth about a few social networking websites – Unscientific (Yet Accurate)
Some of us actually just go with the hype and join multiple social networks there by boosting numbers for these networks. But in actually fact do we use all the social networks we join. We like to talk about them more than actually use them.
There has been a report published by Brainz which gives an excellent overview of how social networks operate
