How Do You Deal With Arguments Via Social Media Websites With Other Users?
One of the things that I realize about social media, that I wished more people would figure out, is that it’s about being social. When I was growing up, I was taught that social meant being respectful of others and their opinion even if I disagreed with them. However, I have noticed that some people choose to be argumentative in all cases.
It doesn’t help to argue with someone or stating the obvious over and over to someone who is stuck on the fact that their opinion is right and nothing else matters. I’ve found that when I choose to not argue a matter, then eyes are opened which means either the other person’s eyes are opened or sometimes even mine are open. In the end, arguing doesn’t get you anywhere but stuck.
Below are the thoughts from some of my social media friends and how they deal with “discussions”… Continue reading

Social Media Marketing and Your Business ROI
Think about the last time you were consciously influenced by a television commercial to buy something. Maybe when you were hungry and saw a pizza commercial so you ordered one right then. Many may have not purchased a product because of a commercial but rather because they have heard about a product via word of mouth.
Not when you compare it to the number of times you have been influenced by a neighbor telling you that the recipe she just gave you won’t come out right unless you add Campbell soup. Or your brother-in-law saying he has found the best mechanic. Or your best friend scolding that she would never give her kids that flu medicine. You are much more powerfully influenced by the spontaneous product recommendations and reviews of your own social circle than by a million-dollar commercial.
Businessmen have known this for years and have been longing to… Continue reading

How Much Is Too Much Sharing On Social Media?
Just as so many people around the world do, I enjoy connecting with others via social networks like Facebook or Twitter. Sharing about my latest projects or great news that’s happening in my life are a couple of the things that I have in common with many other social media users. One great question I have is, “How much is too much sharing on social media?”
SPOILER ALERT: A lot of information is shared about a recent “Criminal Minds” episode entitled “It’s Out There”.
Recently, I watched a TV show called “Criminal Minds” and it had an episode about a stalker/killer who was stalking women who shared many personal details about their lives online using various social media websites. He would initially offer to install high-speed Internet access and at the same time he would install a single small camera that would allow him to… Continue reading
