How to avoid online mistakes

New Year is about to begin 3 days from now and it would be 2010 and everybody seems all excited to it. During New Year mostly we think of our past mistakes that makes the New Year’s resolution tradition. If you have lots of regrets from your online mistakes in 2009 don’t worry because you can still resolve it this 2010. The Social media world is evolving therefore; it does not stick on one particular event alone so there is a chance for you to change whatever mistakes you had before. Mostly, social media tools like Twitter, Facebook or MySpace are being used for business matters aside from communication. Yet, some of the online users do not know that sometimes they hit the wrong button of displaying or updating their status. In order to avoid these things to happen again next year below are some of significant tips to follow.

Following the wrong site accidentally—it is good to follow back those people who also followed you on twitter. But make sure that those people have credible profile. It is because some of them do not give good benefits to your profile especially if you are making Twitter profile for your business. Therefore, an automatic tool that is being used for automatic following is not really a good option.

Sending private messages in public—Facebook and Twitter are known well for instant communication. If we notice we immediately respond on the go when someone is sending us message without thinking that we hit the wrong button. To avoid this, recheck if you are really hitting the right button. Since sometimes it may turn to chaos.

Avoid the habit of responding to email with the Reply all buttons—this is a no-no you should have to avoid this kind of habit. Because there are tendencies that the message wouldn’t suit to the person you are sending with. It would be nice that before you send the message, you would review it again and choose those people you really are genuinely to send about.

If you are just keen enough about your moves online, your business or whatever purpose you have online would be successful.

Facebook Application for Christmas

What latest facebook application is you so crazy about? I have to admit again I am the last about the internet world. Though, online games are a niche that I intend to conquer but the when is not yet set. Yes, as a normal breathing human being, we should get abreast with the latest news and fads or games that people get crazy about.

Here are the list of the events that prodded me to at least try the facebook applications.

1. The Farmtown mania hit the office long before the Michael Jackson mania hit town. Yet, I was not prodded until my nieces go crazy about it and ask my email add not for any other reason but for Farm town. Now, so here I come and got hooked with Farm town but to my disappoint it was not Farm Town that I got hooked with every morning but Farmville. There is a difference you know.

2. The next guy in town is farming already and even the normal media man plays farm town before they wrote their news for the next day. Mind you I sat down with the most popular media man in our town and to my amusement well he played farm town for an hour before starting to write the news the next day. I made sure that I visited the news stand to read his article the next day. I was just curious.

3. Facebook applications vary from mafia to the tame Cafe world and Fishville and Farm Town. Yet are these applications good for children or for adults? I have to admit that the ‘child’ in me is reawakened every time I play any of Facebook applications. As a person who studies human behavior I have to say that facebook application are good if moderately played by both adults and children.

If parents know how to handle their kids by letting them play with the game you are giving them the chance to be a child and be aware of the latest fad during their time. But overdoing is another story.

Christmas Holiday is long but with facebook in your house… daddy and the children could compete who got the highest score on a chosen facebook application. It will never be a boring holiday and that is a big thank you to facebook.

Even families separated by distance can feel the closeness this Christmas season. They can play one game and build camaraderie and friendship.

Social Media Touching Lives

The World Wide Web was born in 1995 and two years later, news websites followed suit. But it was not until the mid-2000s that social media sites such as MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Digg and a dozen others were the trend. These social media sites are not just source of get-togetherness and hangout pit stops but they are also one’s virtual connection to just about anything under the sun. Think of the tremendous application social media offer.

  1. Source of News – In the past, we only regard sites such as CNN.com and usatoday.com as our source of online news. With social media sites such as twitter, we can now get our news all in one page. Just subscribe online news sites and link it to your twitter page and voila! You can have updates every time you click on your twitter page from all of these news sites that you had bookmarked.

  2. Doing Business Online – Before 2005, business models were highly traditional. Then came Amazon.com, whose business pattern is imitated by hundreds of online business sites. Then came social media as a platform for businessmen. Simple yet cost-effective. If you don’t have that much capital, all you need to do is link your business site to other websites. You may employ various online methods too to promote your business site. What’s even better is that if you don’t want to buy your own domain, then you may use your blogger or Multiply account as a platform of your business on the Web.

  3. Meeting Friends - It’s really a pleasure to meet new friends online, learn and chat with them. But the best and safer way to gain lots of friends online is through social media groups in which you can have access to their real profile. This is practically a group for everyone like for example Facebook; there is a group category for Catholics, Hippies, Russians, Naturist and even UFO existence theorist.

Twitter Expands Into Business

TWITTER started as a mere social network among friends as a place to hang out with and have a break – just like Kitkat. With the immense popularity of Twitter, people have perceived it as a potential business tool which can surely multiply return of investment a hundredfold.

So how does Twitter works as a business tool? Here’s how: Twitter has inked an official agreement with a business-inclined social networking too, LinkedIn. This is the first step. However, Twitter executives have deemed that it is more profitable if the company itself will have its separate business feature. Thus, monetizing a blog post was formed. It is launched just real recently and it is actually still on its beta stage. For Internet suave folks, you may want to use the Twitter business tool in beta as a Contributor.

One such company which is using Twitter as an online advertising tool is Honeywell. Honeywell is a scholarship firm and they advertise their product using Twitter. Other companies which use Twitter as an online business tool are auto parts distributors. These are the ones which are located at the local level.

Word has it that various private companies are slowly catching up with the Contributor feature of Twitter. These companies are the ones which are usually on the verge of collapse with the current economic crisis but thanks to Twitter, they have slowly risen from a potential doom to be even more profitable than they were before the crisis hit America.

Facebook has its own URL shortener

We all know that one of the most famous social networks nowadays is facebook. Yes, it seems almost everybody has been crazy about facebook. Most of the facebook users are into it because of the many interesting applications it features. Facebook is a great social network site for sharing links of your favorite video in youtube, links of the article you have recently read, pictures of you or with your friends and more. In fact, we have notice recently, that facebook was also been used for business professionals in endorsing their products and services. Aside from communication there are lots of things you can do in facebook. Through facebook, recent news could also be delivered worldwide that is why facebook could also be considered as one of the most important social networking sites among the other social network sites.

As we notice if we share links to facebook whether it is a video link, article or pictures—sometimes the URL you tried to share would not fit on the box where you should have to put the URL you want to share. It looks awkward and sometime it would not work. Thanks to the recent news, facebook has its own URL shortener. It has been said that facebook cut short log URLs through the FB.me this is for the mobile version. Aside from that you can also short URL by substituting facebook.com with the FB.me/username that makes it simpler compared before. This is to save the effort of typing long words and make it into short. This is another application that you can use in facebook, this for the service of microblogging.
