May 26, 2010 | Social Media | Leave a Comment
Social Media is still a new concept to many companies and there are still many people not convinced that it can work for them. Then there are companies that have embraced it and management are enthusiastic and totally into Social Media. This article is aimed at people who have discovered social media and believe that it can work for their company, but their management are either less than enthusiastic or perhaps almost in the dark about social media.

How honest should you be in Social Networking?
April 28, 2010 | Social Media | 4 Comments
In today’s world of cyberspace we all connect and make friends across the globe. Connections we probably would never have had before the advent of the Internet. We have all heard of horror stories of people being conned, stalked or even murdered through someone they met on Facebook or some other social network. Personally, I am not sure that the numbers are higher than this happening from face-to-face or personal connection (in other words not via the Internet) – in fact my guess is that it is less (I am not referring to hacking or phishing).

Avoiding social media networking becoming a time sink
April 15, 2010 | Social Media | Leave a Comment
Imagine if we could map out the Internet – what would it look like? Well I had a picture in my head that resembled a picture with a few big websites, almost like cities, and almost a radial affect getting smaller. So I went onto Google and had a look. The pictures I found are almost like looking out into space. So what does this have to do with social networks and media?
I imagine that social networks mapping has it’s own galaxy in those maps and I have used the phrase before: that you can get lost in the infinity that is the Internet and I believe the same goes for social networks and media.
An objection we often see to Social Media and Networking is that it takes too much time for the results. Now I agree that this can be true if you are not on a clear path. Here is what I suggest you do to avoid it becoming a time sink: Click Here To Read More

Choosing Relevant Social Networks and Media
April 13, 2010 | Social Media | 1 Comment
In a previous article about choosing between all those other social networks I highlighted how many other social networks there are aside from the main players and link to a number of resources. Weekly, I am invited to join new social networks or groups or hear about new ones popping up.
The problem is choosing which ones to belong to. You will have often read that the word “relevant” in my articles, so how do you choose or even know what is relevant? You may have heard go where your target market is, but how do you know whether they are using a particular social network or medium without doing expensive research?
Finding relevant networks could take a lot of work and effort if you go by trial and error and most of us just don’t have that sort of time. Even I, sometimes, wonder whether I could be missing out by not joining a group I was invited to – but that is just good selling. Here is my advice for choosing relevant social networks or mediums: Click Here To Read More
