Why Participate in Social Networking?
| |
| It’s kind of funny, but it took me quite a while to begin actually marketing on social networking sites. I’ve been on LinkedIn for probably five years, MySpace for maybe a year, and several others (Ning, Ryze, Eons, probably more I’m forgetting). But it was only when I joined Facebook in October 2007, and then shortly thereafter found my way to Plaxo and CollectiveX that I finally started using them to really do some business. |

Employee Policies About Blogging & Electronic Communication
| |
| Blogs and blogging are a fascinating social phenomenon and employee policies and procedures generally have not kept up. Blogs are similar to on-line bulletin boards. People use blogs as a way of self expression, saying what they think or feel about a topic or an issue, or in response to someone else’s thoughts. Many people have their own personal blog to journal their day or their lives.
It is also an interesting phenomenon that people feel more “open” when communicating via email, text or a blog. By this I mean many people use the process of writing as a form of “dear diary” or therapy. They put their deepest thoughts and feelings down without pausing to think or reflect on the impact their words may have on others. They respond instantly, without many of the usual social niceties coming into play.

Guerrilla Marketing And Karate
| |
| The karate master learns everything necessary to slam his hand through the wooden boards. He doesn’t even think about the boards, only about seeing his hand on the other side of them. Their being shattered is not part of his vision. The board is merely an illusion. His hand beneath the cracked boards is the only reality the karate master will accept. Theory is what helped him earn his black belt, but he never would have earned it if he had not taken action. |

Board Basics for Non-Profits
| |
| For most non-profit boards, governance remains simply a series of routines such as overseeing budgets, receiving audits, hearing reports, approving strategic plans, and so on. This is the traditional thinking that guides most non-profit boards. If boards are to be successful this approach must change. The board is where corporate policy is made, where project priorities and goals are set, where capital (yes, nonprofits have capital) is allocated and where the values of the organization and the community it serves are exemplified. |

Social web vs. searchable web
| |
| Web forums have become one of the most effective outlets for communication and relationship building on the Internet. These online discussion boards have been likened to equivalent of a modern bulletin board, but are for the sole purpose of expressing opinions, advice and learning from others. Today we access online discussion forums for technical support, community and product reviews, advice on anything from career choices to fashion to schooling to illness, and general discussion about things we are interested in. People can join forum groups with others that are due to have a baby in the same month as them, or with others of the same occupation, or dog breeders that breed the same dogs as you! Where once we sought out community groups in our area, we now turn more to the online world from the comfort of our desks or couches. |
