Social Media is about conversation with community. The world is no more under a single brand, we have multiple brands and multiple communities. All thanks to the emerging Internet Society. Even businesses are starting to become a niche player in the Internet. People are producing goods and services based on specific interests, increasing the importance of community. But how do you track community in the Internet. Basically, there are many kinds of community spread over different platform. Forums, Facebook Groups, Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, blogs and so on.

Make sure the market research firm does not provide the name of the company or any other details that will cloud the judgement of the participants. 2. Before the usability testing As with everything in life, first impressions are vital. Each participant must be put at ease. Remember, the usabil

Mainstream media has gone ga ga about Twitter , which grew more than 1,200% in the past year, doubled its members in the past few months and attained 14 million members in March, according to Compete . Everyone and his dog seems to be tweeting, from CEOs, celebrities and not-for-profits to venture capitalists, banks, business services, government and, well, dogs (and cats and the random parakeet, too). Should your business be tweeting? Twitter is not for everyone. Here are the "Top 10 Reasons Not to Tweet." You think using Twitter is a social-media strategy. It's a tactic, a tool, not a strategy. It works if you already have an online following who'll view your Tweets as a way to interact with your company on a human level. Every tweet has to be approved by legal.

By Carrie-Ann Skinner, PC-Advisor-(UK) Using Twitter and Facebook at work will make you a better employee, says the University of Melbourne. According to a study by the Australian University, 70 percent of office employees use the internet at work for personal reasons. Of them, nine percent were more productive compared to employees that didn't use the web for fun. "Workplace internet leisure browsing (WILB) can help sharpen workers' concentration," said Brent Coker, from the University's department of management and marketing. "People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration." Coker defined WLIB activities as browsing the web for information and reviews of products, reading online news sites, playing online games, keeping up-to-date with friends activities on social networking sites and watching videos on YouTube. "Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a hig

Facebook has introducted some really interesting Beta language settings the best ones are Facebook English (Pirate) and English (Upside down). The latest language to be added is Facebook English (Pirate) and it pimps your profile by turning everything into pirate speak!

Ye have been skewered by' and you have 10 friend requests becomes '10 sorry louts think they're yer mates. In this all your text turns upside down except for status messages. I think Batman is still out there testing this one. How to go about it...

Google honours the birth anniversary of the favourite childhood game ‘Pac-Man’ on its 30th anniversary. Google puts the image of its search page with the game of Pac-Man which can be played.

There’s a light-hearted, human touch to both of them. And we can only hope you find using Google at least a quarter as enjoyable as eating dots and chasing ghosts.” ‘Pac-Man’ was released in the arcades in 1980, and is still a popular game until this moment.
