Are you being a follower for the heck of it or are you following quality?
When i commenced my journey on twitter I would feel really bad not to follow someone especially when they are following me. Social Media services and consultancy is getting to be a complete mess in some instances. So when i commenced using Twitter every day i would login to Twitter and geez my dashboard would be full of updates that don't matter to me. It would be annoying but I was in the process of learning the game. I was confused why i got followers who practically followed me for the heck of it and i
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. Today however we are running after money, fame, our job, and of course providing for our family. During this time however we don't think of taking time out for our friends or for anyone we come across. I
Endorsements and recommendations are they worth it? Does that make you the person you are?
Ever day that passes by i aim at doing less and less of the normal corporate business day in and day out tasks.My typical day lately has been writing a post, managing social media campaigns, automating some of my processes, chatting online with friends via IM, facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, sms and of course meeting with people. But i feel a bit weird because everyone is busy running around. Life was the same for me too a year back but since i have consciously made a decision to choose what i want to do i have time to now connect and
What happens to your online identity after you die?
I know it’s not pleasant to think of such a crazy thought but all of us plan our offline will, we all take life insurance, but we don’t think about the impact our social profiles would have on our next generation. Yesterday was a sad day for me as one of my friend’s dad passed away. He was loved by all and he did everything in his power to be a good family man. I remember having created his social profile for him and during his journey online; he did meet some amazing human beings online from all over
Getting screwed around in business is not something you want but it happens. Now what?
Today I attended an amazing meeting which was focused around networking and man people spoke about their business experiences. We each had to speak about how we handled objections or how we dealt with a situation where we may have been screwed over for a reason. If you are like me then the first thing that crosses your mind is anger and hate. Sure some of us have had really bad experiences and some of us have had not so bad experiences. So how do you deal with this? In today’s meeting we focused on how not to get our
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
As a start-up would you prefer crowd funding or the traditional funding models
Crowd funding is based on the concept that individuals can now invest in start-ups. According to the web definition from Wikipedia. Crowd funding (sometimes called crowd financing or crowd sourced capital), inspired by crowd sourcing, describes the collective cooperation, attention and trust by people who network and pool their money together, usually via the Internet, in order to support efforts initiated by other people or organisations. Crow funding claims that "the crowd" is a better source of financial support than traditional funding avenues. Crow funding operates on a different relationship model between the investor and the start-up as
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
How the web browser will appear in 2015 – The next big computing platform
The browser is spreading beyond the PC. Now with a browser alone you are able to do a lot more then when the Internet first started.
