I Am Now a Full-Fledged Social Networking Whore
2009-12-01 14:30:00 Not my hand--too daintyEarlier today I was updating my status on Facebook before zipping over to my LinkedIn to check a message from a possible networking "connec'" before I hauled ass over to Twitter to post the latest news that I pulled a surprising amount of lint from my navel earlier in the day, when suddenly I realized I hadn't checked out the latest article on StumbleUpon or even been to Yahoo! Buzz or Digg to find out what the latest news from the blogosphere was about what was in the news today. That's right: Once a proud champion of the written word and complete paragraph-length thoughts that accumulated to say something larger about the nature of our world...
Mobile Social Networking – It’s Not a Fad!
2009-11-18 05:32:00 Taking the benefit of hind-sight, a survey was published 18 months back which clearly stated that Netizens would use the mobile to not just alert friends or family, but more. And this activity, which was unclear and termed more at that time is slowly becoming clear and has become one of the basic drivers for telecom growth in our country. I have no hesitations in admitting now that Mobile Based Social Networking is not a Fad. And, to know a fact, Mr. Jean Laurent Poitou, MD for Accenture’s Electronics & High-Tech Industry Group seconded my thought when he said, “The next wave of technology will be driven by connected devices. Mobile connectivity has reached people the fastest of all technologies and the wave of mobile internet will be driven by social networking.” If you are a close follower of what’s going on in the web arena nowadays, you would have come across many such reports in the recent past which have audaciously reported that ‘Mobile Soci...

SMS Based IM, Social networking – The Next Killer App For Indian Mobi
2009-11-13 11:56:00 Couple of years ago I stumbled on an idea of SMS based IM and social networking, though the idea gave me goose bumps with the extent of potential market, I was eventually convinced that mobile internet will be the thing, partly because I was already working on a mobile internet based idea and left only repenting now. Nokia Research and other’s (including a San Deigo based startup called ShorthandMobile) are reportedly working on text based IM and Social networking applications. This is a smart move on part of Nokia, because India which is the second largest market for the company has a great penetration of SMS services and SMS based IM/Social networking might just be the next killer application for this market. “We Meet”, the first product of this kind to be rolled out by Nokia reportedly could be used by families, groups of friends or small businesses.

Social Networking Growing Older – No Longer Teen Stronghold
2009-08-31 09:27:00 Let’s look at any technology and how it’s been adopted. Of all the latest tech trends that have emerged, be it websites or gadgets, mostly the teens have jumped to it first. It has almost been accepted that any technology that is/could be a source of entertainment, the early adopter revolution has been spearheaded by the youth. Facebook began as a networking site for college students, and today, if it was a country it would be one of the largest. Social networking as a movement was understood to be for the youth. Leaving aside a few sites like LinkedIn and others which did not cater to the youth market, the major leaders then and now, MySpace and Facebook were always about the youngsters. Come 2009, social networking has changed. The reasons could be several, from the fact that it has received so much attention, everyone’s doing it, to the fact that marketers and the corporate world have seen the potential for development on the social media platform.

Social Networking – In The ‘Line of Fire’ Again
2009-08-25 08:57:00 Let me admit honestly, I worship Social Networking; and it has changed my life for good. But, it does become frustrating when day in and day out on a million sites we read that the social media is harmful for us and a plethora of reasons attached to it. Tell me something – all you social media enthusiasts and people who earn their daily bread online; are you really afraid of putting information about yourself online ? Or, don’t you know that if you do so, then where should you draw the line? But, our realm comes in the line of fire again, and this time it is the cyber criminals who are to be blamed for it. There has been a gradual shift from desktop-based applications to Web-based ones, particularly those on social networking sites, and this has presented a new space to get attacked. Koobface — a type of malware and said to be the largest Web 2.0 botnet — rides this new means of propagation. Mr Abhinav Karnwal, Product Marketing Manager (APEC), Trend Micro, says, &l...

Gift Giving In The World Of Social Networking: Buy Your Facebook Friend A R
2009-05-25 12:00:00 Facebook gifts are great, but truly do fall into the "it's the thought that counts" mentality, since naturally, the bouquet of gorgeous roses gifted to you by a crush, or the nice cold beer presented to you by a friend appears as no more than a sub-par graphic accompanied by a personal message. BuyYourFriendaDrink.com has captured the market that bridges the gap between virtual gifts, and those that can be redeemed in the real world. However, unlike another new startup, Get Them In, it doesn't allow you to show off your gift-giving generosity on your favorite social networking sites.

King Maker & Social Networking Made Obama A Rock Star?
2009-03-22 03:46:00 "Kingmaker" is a term originally applied to the activities of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick during the Wars of the Roses, when he was instrumental in getting King Edward IV to ascend to the throne of England. The term has since come to mean any person or group who has great influence over a political succession, without being a viable candidate themselves. Kingmakers may use political, monetary, religious, or military means to manipulate the opportunities for succession. But up until this past year, no one has accessed the tools of the electronic media for political gain with the level of success we all observed in the most recent election.So was social networking responsible for Obama's successful political campaign?
