Hello, I’m Jolene, another intern here at TMR and I am thrilled to be a contributing writer for this blog.  My experiences with blogs have all been brief – I used to shun the internet and blush at the mention of Facebook — but now I try to embrace the internet, although still a bit apprehensively .  One thing I have not come around to, however, is twitter.  My roommate always stuns me with her knowledge of pop culutre, practically starting ever sentence with “I heard on twitter”… (she was the

While Facebook continues to grow, and some companies are getting more comfortable with using it for things like Pages, LinkedIn still fills the gap for users who want a more professional setting for social networking. A new service launching in public beta today at TechCrunch50 , Radiusly , wants to take the idea of Twitter and put it in more of a professional setting, as well. But unlike Facebook and LinkedIn which exist as two totally separate networks, Radiusly wants to integrate its service with Twitter.

To accept or reject Invitations from sites like LinkedIn and Facebook can be a rather stressful decision dependent on whom the invitation is coming from. It seems we face invitations from school and university days, from former colleagues, bosses, others who share similar interests, those wanting to hire us and many more. However many of us face the dilemma of who to accept and who to reject. Particularly where there is not a clear reason for the invitation or any particular benefit for us in accepting it, other than increasing our tally of connections.

I was on jury duty last week. I won’t go into all the details, but suffice it to say it was a criminal case and we ended up finding the defendant guilty. He will probably go to prison and it’s sobering to realize that you may have had something to do with sealing his fate. Choice does matter, though sometimes more than others. So what do juries have to do with marketing and what is the connection between jury trials and social media? Well there’s the obvious, that a jury is just like any other audience and the lawyers are like competing brand marketers trying to spin their narrative so that you will choose one side over the other.

Friendiligence by Sherryle Kiser Jackson Friendiligence is one of those Internet buzzwords up for consideration to be added to the upcoming edition of the Merriman Webster Dictionary. Google it.

As an author trying to navigate the vastness of the World Wide Web in order to market and promote my book, friendiligence most surely is an action verb.

People have been asking me for ages if any real companies are using social networks for their marketing, so it was interesting to come across this data from Capital One in the UK. Robin Goad from Hitwise reports that “Facebook is now its second biggest source of traffic, and even overtook Google UK for one month earlier this year.” Here is an example of a mainstream company that is using online effectively to redirect advertising spend and obtain measurable results.

Online mortgage brokers are rising up as leaders in the industry. This is mainly due to convenience for customers and unbeatable low interest rates (very little overhead of them means great rates for you).

Although most online mortgage lenders are legitimate, this is one case in which some basic research can really pay off. Here are a few “do’s and don’ts” to keep in mind as you consider online mortgage lending.

Reposted from http://blog.label.ch The most interesting thing I read all week in the myriad of information I digest was the posting for eMarketer titled Marketers embrace Twitter over Facebook with and insightful tag line “Follow me” replacing “friend me”? eMarketer reported that “Facebook may have recently passed MySpace as the most-visited social networking site in the US, but it’s facing stiff competition for the attention of social media marketers.” So why is it so interesting for me and why should it interest you? Marketing and advertising in Facebook is problematic.

At this time most people are too busy with their lives to pay much attention to national or global issues. However, we have already begun to enter the phase of growing global crises. As rising energy and food prices send shocks through the global economy, more and more people will begin to ask questions.

At this point, if positive solutions and good leaders exist, rapid constructive change is possible.

I was idly browsing the BBC News website yesterday and happened upon an article about social networking entitled Status update: Who cares? I have to say that the title pretty much sums up my attitude towards much social networking. The final part of the article concerns what we are leaving behind for future historians (and genealogists). It raises the issues of whether digital data will survive as long as paper, and whether we are leaving behind an edited version of our lives for future researchers.

“This summer, town hall meetings to discuss health care reform have turned into battlegrounds — with fist fights, belligerent protestors, and at least one lawmaker reporting a death threat. Some Democrats have blamed the chaos on astroturf operations: fake grassroots groups funded by special interests. But are the forces whipping up the anti-health care frenzy really astroturf — or a new form of corporate-funded campaigning? Most astroturf operations are semi-covert activities, precisely targeted at vulnerable or undecided lawmakers.

For those who do not know what Web 2.0 is; it is considered to be the second version of the internet. Web 2.0 is composed mainly of social networking utilities.

Facebook and Twitter are the two current social networking darlings. I am more active with Twitter and wrote a post a couple months ago about my experience with Twitter as a blogger which includes some tips for those just starting out with Twitter.

Being spammed with game invites, annoying quizzes and party invites didn’t help wasn’t causing me to love Facebook any more.

by Arielle Young Wasn’t Facebook here first? Yes, a whole two years before Twitter hit the virtual scene (over the internet, that’s decades.) But ever since the uprising of the ever-popular “tweeting”, Facebook appears… nearly inefficient. Why click three times to get to what you’re looking for when you can stick a hashtag on a compound word and be done with it? Facebook’s product seems strangely like an attempt at competition for the social networking consumers flocking over to Twitter.

Easy AdSense by UnrealWhen you are a computer guy, you know when the Internet is out somewhere. Calls come in all at once.Last night, I was mini-golfing with my kids and my cell phone buzzed. It was a friend informing me that their Bresnan Internet and phone service wasn’t working. I had them do the usual modem and router reset. That didn’t fix the problem, so I blamed Bresnan and told them to wait it out. As I was hanging up, my call waiting went off – it was someone 20 miles away from the previous caller with exactly the same problem.

It’s a typical day at an American high school campus. Gaggles of students walk around wearing earbuds, or sneaking looks at their personal digital assistant (PDA), formally known as the cell phone. They check their Facebook and Twitter pages, they send off a dozen text messages, they blog, and they read updates on their favorite musical group, all in less than a few minutes. 21 st century teens know how to multi-task: they can hang out with their friends and talk on the phone; they can listen to a lecture and text message; they can research and chat on AIM.

There’s a reason why the birther  movement is existing in a zombie-like state, mercilessly being mocked at first by liberal (and moderate bloggers), then by the mainstream media and people who watch/read either.

The outage that knocked Twitter offline for hours was traced to an attack on a lone blogger in the former Soviet republic of Georgia — but the collateral damage that left millions around the world tweetless showed just how much havoc an isolated cyberdispute can cause. “It told us how quickly many people really took Twitter into their hearts,” Robert Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University, said Friday.

Yesterday Twitter went down. I’d already been bleeding my most boring tweets off by using Backpack’s Journal and fulfilling two purposes: Re-routing my impulse to tweet about mundane things into, as I mentioned, Backpack’s Journal; And thus creating a log of my activities, a kind of diary. Did I mention personal use of Backpack is free? – http://backpackit.com/ And I really appreciate that because I’ve set up the Reminders to send me email when bills are due or automatic withdrawals are scheduled.

Activision-Blizzard held their second quarter conference call yesterday, and in addition to addressing the Starcraft II delay , both Mike Morhaime and Activision CEO Bobby Kotick shared some insight into what the revamped Battle.net will be like. The brand new system (which is currently up and working , albeit in a very skeleton form so far) will have “social networking features, cross-game communication, [and] unified account management,” in addition to features that will let players “share experiences” with each other online (we’d presume that means things like screenshot galleries and leaderboards, but who knows?).

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called President Obama’s health plan “downright evil” Friday in her first online comments since leaving office, saying in a Facebook posting that he would create a “death panel” that would deny care to the neediest Americans. “Who will suffer the most when they ration care?

Ha, Rome’s take on Twitter including his Urban Dictionary take.. “A stupid site for stupid people with no friends, who think everyone else gives a shit what they’re doing at any given time. Also lacks the functionality of other social networking sites, not that it matters because just like Twitter all those sites suck anyway.” – Urban Dictionary

As we learn more about the Denial of Service Attacks that took down Twitter and other social media sites earlier today, yet another wave of spam is invading the microblogging service. Thousands of tweets are currently being spread around the network pointing to a website promoting a dubious money making scheme: ThursdayProfit.org.
