How Do You View Social Media Networks?
Recently, I created a video that would put into prospective my opinion about social media websites like Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, and Twitter and they view the updates or changes which are made to their websites. This was created to help put into prospective how the owners of each website operates when it comes to updates or changes to their websites.
Take a look at the video below and then share your opinion in the comment section. I’m looking forward to the creative opinions that you share regarding how each network views itself.

TweetDeck Looms to Battle Seesmic, Twitter on Android
In the two years since TweetDeck first launched on the desktop, it has set the standard for multi-functional multi-account Twitter-centric applications, bringing the concept of columns, grouping and integrated search to what had previously been a bland market of simple apps. With the product’s success, we saw the metamorphosis of Seesmic from a video comments company to one that has gone head to head with TweetDeck on practically every screen, even as the two saw focused effort from Loren Brichter on Tweetie pass them by and become the official Twitter application from the microblogging mothership for… Continue reading

Use Twitter to Get a Job: 4 Steps
When it comes to social networks and job-hunting, Twitter trumps Facebook, according to Dan Schawbel, author of Me 2.0, Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success. “Twitter is the best place because it’s public networking,” says Schawbel.
