Social networking is a rapidly growing, attention-seeking trend that screams. As narcissistic as it may seem, but people warm up to the idea very quickly. As humans, no matter what kind of human u are, highly likely to be interested with what other people do in their lives. It is because everyone wants references. No matter how we may like to disdain the idea, the very bulk of us are always followers rather than leaders.
The question now is how would interpreneur and business people alike taku advantage and tap into markets with these tools at hand. A lot of people give the vague advice of using social networking as a medium to get their word out. Social networking is more than just a simple and quick way to connect and reconnect people. It is also a way people can generate hype, create communication, tie other modes of advertising and marketing together.
Social networking services should be viewed as an addition to your marketing and advertising effort for both online and offline presences. When utilised properly, social networking services can gain your efforts some attention, but will not be strong enough to directly replace the traditional online presence such as physical run around to promote business. If business online presence consists of just blinking advertising banners and probably just a website, you are surely missing out a whole chunk of what the internet can really offer for your business. With these services you can customise powerly networking opportunities that allow you to efficiently pin point your audience.
However, don’t get to be too eager and dive into it. We must first understand wht each social networking does first, and what it does best. Service such as LinkedIn, which acts as online business card, help you to connect with the people you want to meet. Facebook and twitter are great to help you notify a whole group of people concerning anything that you want promoted. These could be a product launch, an event, great deals or even just freebies.
Each social networking site is different. Choose the sites that we will use in accordance to the nature of business objective, as well as what we are comfortable with. The viral nature of social networking services is the ultimate strength that it possesses. The right information can spread like wildfire if we plan it out correctly. Search engine optimization is also one of the most valuable things that social networking services can offer. The more website that we can leave mark such as our name, contact details and name of the company that can link back to our website. The higher likelihood of business appearing in search engine will increase. This then translates to more people being able to find our self and our business.
THE DARK SIDE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
by Sharifah Zati Amni Syed Azlan
It's a PR nightmare scenario: A national fast-food chain has to respond to a video, spreading rapidly online, that shows one of its employees picking his nose and placing the result in the food he's making."
It's not a new story. Businesses and even charities have always had to deal with rumors of mismanagement, non-management, or criminal activity. There's even a saying attributed to Mark Twain, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” But in the wired world the lie can go around the world twenty times while the truth is trying to turn off the alarm clock.
What does this mean? It doesn't mean "stay out of social media." For one thing, it's obvious - as the news story points out - that "just about anyone with a video camera and a grudge can bring a company to its knees with lightning speed." Keeping your organization off the web won't protect it from malicious or irresponsible posters. It does mean, "stay vigilant." It means, "monitor the Internet for mentions of your company." It means " have a contingency plan in place to reply to this kind of attack." And it means, "get your story out first": if the social media sphere is already used to seeing your presence there, they are more likely to check your web site, your blogs, your Facebook/MySpace/
Twitter page for the accuracy of rumors, and to refute them.
Lessons everyone can learn from Domino's misfortune:
"• Monitor social media. Big companies must actively watch Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social sites to track conversations that involve them. That will help uncover potential crises-in-the-making, says Brian Solis, a new-media specialist and blogger at PR2.0.
"• Respond quickly. Domino's responded within hours. 'They responded as soon as they heard about it, not after the media asked, "What are you going to do?"' says Lynne Doll, president of The Rogers Group, a crisis-management specialist.
"• Respond at the flashpoint. Domino's first responded on consumer affairs blog The Consumerist, whose activist readers helped track down the store and employees who made the video. Then it responded on the Twitter site where talk was mounting. 'Domino's did the right thing by reinstituting the trust where it was lost,' Solis says.
"• Educate workers. It's important that all employees have some media and social-media training, says Ross Mayfield, co-founder of Socialtext, which advises companies on new media.
"• Foster a positive culture. Workers who are content and customers who like your product are far less likely to tear down a company online, PR guru Katie Delahaye Paine says. 'This would be a lot less likely to happen at places like Whole Foods.'
"• Set clear guidelines. Companies must have clear policies about what is allowed during working hours — and what isn't, Doll says. 'It won't prevent everyone from breaking the rules, but at least they'll know what the rules are.'"

The Power of Social Networking
-Mr. Katich Sm
When talking about ‘the old times’ parents get nostalgic, and occasionally tearful. We get to hear from them about their friends and their idea of hanging out, why, even a pen pal or two with whom they used to stay in touch with through mail (not e-mail by the way).
Why , even twenty years back, telephone was the only way to get through to someone if you wanted your message to reach the recipient within anywhere between two and five days, especially if that message has to travel half way across the earth. It has only taken a phase shift of twenty years to get that transit time to come down to two, three seconds at max. Welcome to the era of instant communication where keeping in touch is in. With social networking growing the way it is, you find more and more people keeping in touch through web sites that offer this forum, sometimes going to the extreme where two people at work sitting in adjacent cubicles at work forward jokes over the internet.
But all of this advancement is not as crazy as that. The previous generation has always complained about how unlike their lot that the current generation is. Social networking just re-emphasises that – this generation has managed to stay in touch with the people they met at school, college or at their first job, which our parents have not managed to do. Thumbs up to this generation!!! Social networking sites not only allow you to simply communicate with each other, but they allow you to share music, pictures, videos, files and just about anything digital under the sun.
Imagine being able to play a game of backgammon with a Japanese man sitting in Germany using an American laptop on an English network. Now that’s getting connected. Powerful tool huh? Owning and running such a networking site must be very difficult and time consuming right? Wrong, availability of easy to use and commercially viable software has made owning a social networking site a breeze.
The best part of the deal is that no technical knowledge is required to use such software and the user interface is as simple as can be. So get online, get yourself one of the easily available facebook clone software, get creating, and watch your money grow!

Facebook 'Suck Sites' Have Their Day in Court
—Wesley Oliver
(Newser Summary) – A lawsuit filed by administrators at an Illinois beauty school may set a precedent regarding so-called “suck sites,” the Chicago Tribune reports. Nicholas Blacconiere, a student at the Salon Professional Academy of Elgin, welcomed classmates to criticize teachers on a Facebook page. After students posted accusations of teacher incompetence and promiscuity, administrators claimed emotional damage and filed suit for $50,000.
"Suck site" challenges have met with mixed success so far, and there hasn't yet been a landmark school-vs.-student online defamation case. One expert says that while students like Blacconiere should be allowed self-expression, there are limits: If they "get online and defame and destroy the reputation of someone else, or basically inflict severe emotional distress, yep, they can be held libel."

Stress Tied to Memory
Stress causes negative emotion. People who are surrounded by negative emotions are more prone to build up loss of memory and cognition, as they are getting older. People who were prone to psychological suffering (negative emotions) are more liable to have mild cognitive impairment. Those with the highest degree of negative emotion are about 42% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment than those with the lowest level of psychological distress. However, people's fundamental inclination toward negative emotions does not change radically over time.
Scientists confirmed that cognitive problems could in the long run lead to Alzheimer's disease. They are now investigating the fact that if controlling blood pressure can, in fact, lessens the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. It is a major medical investigation because it may help us to avert one of the most incapacitating diseases known to man. Scientists advocate that it is essential for the adults need to know about their blood pressure. It is also important to have a knowledge that how to maintain it under control.
Memories help us to learn easily. If we do not have our memory, we have to learn everything again and again, each day. Memory loss is related to numbers of social and physiological aspects. We can control some of these aspects. Stress is one of the factors, which can be controlled by us effectively. We are facing the stress a lot of times each day. Sometimes just getting up in the morning and making breakfast is stressful. However, there are different magnitudes of stress. Stress that can be controlled may actually be beneficial for us. It motivates us to take essential steps. Otherwise, slackness may come into our mind. On the other hand, there is the kind of stress that is absolutely beyond our control.
Researchers have discovered that stress can trigger the commencement of memory and cognitive disorders. The association between memory problems and stress is rooted in the way our bodies respond physically to stress. Certain hormones (stress hormones- Adrenaline, Cortisol) are secreted from the adrenal gland to facilitate us managing the apparent threat. After their action and when the stress wane off, the hormone levels return to basal level quickly. However, when the stress continues for prolonged period, the hormone levels continue to be raised and in due course, the brain component that is related with memory function is damaged.
Now, the big question is how to deal with the stressors that are beyond our control? Essentially, we should search and discover a way of deal with distress that is sure going to work. Meditation is a good option. Alternatively, exercise has a role to lower down stress. Some learn to be within himself, giving adequate time to rejuvenate. Some rely up on healthy living skills such as taking balanced diet or adequate sleep. Some relieve stress by responding appropriately to relieve pain. It takes endeavor to manage stress.
