Making the Most Out of Social Networking Websites!
October 4, 2008
Karl Glantschnig asked:
Do you belong to an online social networking website? With their recent rise in popularity there is a good chance that you do. However, it is one thing to be a community member and another to actually participate in online discussions, as well as the many other network features. That is why it is advised that you learn how to make the most out of your social networking experience.
Many internet users already think that they know everything that they need to know about their social networking community. Unfortunately, not everyone does. In fact, you can find numerous posts online of people ranting or stating that they wished that their social networking website, such as Yahoo! 360, MySpace, Orkut, FriendWise, or FriendFinder, has a particular service and feature. Too many times, those posters did not look before they started speaking because, as it turns out, many social networking websites have what people want, just everyone does not know about it.
The first step, in making the most out of your social networking experience, is to familiarize yourself to the online community or communities that you belong to. This can easily be done by closely examining the website. There are too many internet users who are focused on meeting new friends that they get started right away. While it is nice to start meeting new people right away, it is also nice to know what your social networking site has to offer. This can only be done by closely examining the website. Whether you take one hour or one day examining the website, you will likely be pleased with your decision to do it.
When examining the website of the online community that you belong to, it is advised that you examine the terms of use agreement. This agreement often outlines what you can and cannot do online. Despite the fact that a large number of online networking sites, such as MySpace, have little rules, there are other websites that have them. These rules and restrictions may limit the content that you can have on your site, as well as your pictures, videos, and other media. Many websites, including social networking websites, will terminate your membership if you are found violating these agreements. By reading all of the rules and restrictions of the social networking website you belong to, you should be able to ensure that you can continue to use and enjoy the site.
One of the many benefits to fully examining the social network you belong to is that you could be alerted to network benefits, features, or services that you were previously unaware of. In addition to giving you your own profile page and allowing you to invite other internet users into your network, there are a number of other things that you can do with online social networking websites. A large number of websites have created features and sections that include horoscopes, quizzes, polls, instant massaging, chat rooms, and much more. However, before you make use of these member benefits, you must know that they exist.
If you are interested in making new online friends, it is likely that you have already joined an online social networking community. Whether you are interested in joining more or you are a first time user, you will to carefully choose your networks. By researching each social networking website online, you should easily be able to famialrize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of each. And, since most social networking websites are free to use, there are no risks associated with giving the network a try. If you happen to come across a website that requires a paid membership and you would like to try it, you are advised to lookout for free membership plans or free trail periods. They may be able to help you determine whether or not the social networking website that you are interested in joining is worth the cost.
As you can easily see, there are a number of different ways to go about making the most out of your social networking experience. The control is in your hands. It is your decision as to whether or not you want to spend a small amount of time researching your network and everything that it has to offer. However, it is important to note that not doing so may literally mean that you are missing out on all of the fun.

Mobile Social Networking: Facebook & MySpace Aggregated Safely, Privately & Securely
August 1, 2008
Tony Colon asked:
Today’s online social networkers want to have instant, 24×7 access to their social network and the information they need, but are not interested in being tied to a wired Internet connection. To get the most out of your social networking experience, members must have anytime, anywhere access to people in their network. Development of mobile applications that work on all combinations of carriers, platforms and mobile device models would make life a lot easier for the avid social networker.
What is needed is an online social networking provider of aggregation, connectedness, and collaboration technology for an individual’s social network. Mobile technology needs to be built on the new WAP 2.0 standards, designed to enable mobile users of social networking sites to access real-time data on their thriving networks through a variety of wireless devices.
A network connectedness & collaboration solution is for people who want to aggregate all the relationship capital they’ve built up from social networking sites for fast & easy sharing within their very own private network. It needs to be a highly safe and secure relationship capital management platform that can privately separate a user’s professional/business profile from their personal/”here I am being cool…” profile. This suite of networking connectedness applications would allows users to collaborate by sharing calendars, contacts, files, and more.
WAP 2.0 connects cellular phone, PDA, and other mobile users with email, contacts, calendar, and task data in their social networking accounts – on a Treo, Nokia or almost any other SmartPhone or Pocket PC. Users can connect their network(s) using their mobile phone, or using a PDA with WiFi or modem connection.
This technological advance provides a colorful and graphic-rich interface that is available on WAP 2.0 compatible cellular phones, PocketPC devices, PalmOS-based devices, as well as other mobile devices.
Also, an extra benefit would be real-time connection between their account and Outlook on the desktop. This connection would ensure, whether a user is accessing their email, contacts, calendar and tasks via Outlook, remotely with a web client, or on a mobile device, that their information is always accessible. It must provide users with virus and spam-free email, shared calendars, contacts and files, tasks, instant messaging, and more.
Email and calendaring solutions help to aggregate and manage one’s own private network. These web-based tools make managing busy schedules easy, and allow users to instantly schedule meetings with colleagues across their social networks enabling users to automatically send meeting requests and changes to participants. Ideally, it would support the iCal industry standard, which enables social networking site users to coordinate their schedules with users of other iCal-compliant calendaring software.
To be useful, products & services for mobile social networking communication must be compatible with any social networking niche such as: Friend Networking, Business Networking, Common Interest Networking, Dating Networking, Pet Networking, Face-To-Face Meeting Facilitation, Sharing Emphasis, Campus, and every other niche site in between.
Be forewarned that a lot of mobile social networking sites offer their services for free in exchange for you seeing all their ads and for target marketing. Be sure you get a commitment from a provider that along with a best-in-class service, you’ll also never see banner, text or other advertisements within the application.
Services must be provided through a Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model, which gives users desktop-like speed and performance from any computer with Internet access or any mobile device, without having to install software programs. Since it would be delivering its service offerings over the Internet, users would likely be willing to pay only a small monthly fee for on-demand use of the software especially taking into account its ad free.
To recap, a Mobile Social Networking aggregation solution specializes in helping individuals and organizations to aggregate the relationship capital built from any social networking site such as MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, LinkedIn, Bebo plus all others including Mobile Social Networking sites. The software enables you to manage, deliver and track social networking activities for fast & easy sharing of video, audio, photos, files, and more in a safe, secure, and private online space.

Benefits That You Gain From Your Social Networking Website
March 16, 2008
Ron McNeil asked:
Social network is a social structure, with the individuals or organizations as the nodes. A social network software ties together one or more types of relationships, such as financial exchange, friends, kinship, dislike, trade, web links, sexual relations, disease transmission (epidemiology), or airline routes. In effect, a social network is built on two things, the nodes and the ties. The nodes are the individuals, or organizations within the network, and the ties are the different kinds of relationships formed between the nodes.
Social networking software promotes strong branding. For instance, when anyone adds a member as a friend, sends e-card to them, makes comments on their journal, and sends them a private message and replies to their comments, the social networking software automatically sends e-mail notifications for all those activities. These notifications bear your website’s name. With your website information being sent with such notifications, you are effectively building up your brand, keeping your website’s name fresh in the minds of the users. The notifications may also carry your marketing message, which may also be placed on your online social networking site, so that the users logging into your network can also view the message while they participate in social networking.
You would need to build up your brand. This would make your social network system stand out in the market place with more prominence. Users creating profiles, and adding their friends and journals to your website are in effect creating their social base in your network. These users are most likely to remain with the network, and once they have created this base, they will go on inviting more and more friends and associates, with the intention of making their social base larger and larger. Typical social networking software would enable you to create different marketing tools for your online business.
As the users spend more and more time on your social networking website, they repeatedly come across your website name, brand name, and/or the marketing message. They become more loyal to your social networking site as they continue with their presence in your website. This loyalty would prompt the users to make use of the other services that your website offers, participate in and make donations to your organization, and also purchase products that your website offers. All you need to do is to choose the right social network software to meet the strategies that you have formed for the success of your online business.
In order to create your business identity, you would definitely need a website, which draws in people, who would be constantly reviewing the services and products that you are offering. Ideally, social networking software would help you to create a social networking website, providing you with the right marketing tools for your business. You need to create your business identity, and that does not happen by sending off marketing flyers to the email list that you have purchased. You need to build up customer loyalty first, and create your brand.
Business identity is best created by having a social networking website. Such a website would create that identity on its own, and as users would invite their friends to join, communities and groups will be set up, having varied interests. Users will be spending more and more time on the site, coming across your marketing messages and the products that you offer.
Social networking software has been able to squeeze the world, crossing the language barriers, and the borders. People all over the world still yearn for a sense of community, sharing parts of their lives with others. There are organizations seeking to convey their purpose of existence to others, making their business presence felt. What could be a more apt opportunity for you in building up that kind of a database, when you have your own social networking website?
Social network software has opened the door for users to create different kinds of relationships on the website, by which the traffic to your website is automatically generated, as the users go on establishing their social base. With users creating profiles and journals on your website, inviting others to join, they are most likely to stay on using your social networking software, there-by putting much more faith and trust in the network. Once they have their base, the customer loyalty would establish a brand for you. Your social network website would provide a captive audience, and there would be plenty of opportunities to convert this audience into paying customers for your products and premium services.
