2. LinkedIn:

LinkedIn is considered as one of the best social website to connect professionals. On LinkedIn you can create a company page and cultivate different activities. Another advantage of having LinkedIn is that you can even connect with your clients which will increase the brand loyalty.

1. Proper user name : If you are using twitter for your personal use I suggest you to have a proper twitter name where your friends or colleagues can find you easily.

Lots of twitter user make mistakes by using funky names, which makes you are a non serious twitter user.

Social media vs. Social networking

Social media Social networking or social media networking they all sound similar but there are some of the differences. You may find that that even some people use the term called as social media marketing, which is again little broader in actual.

Read this simple story :

You created Twitter account or Facebook account you started adding people in your group as per your preference. Some of them started following you back or some of them accepted your friend request.

Then after a good number of connections with people you started posting messages and no one giving any gestures like a follow or a comment on your post, and then you realize that you created "social media" presence by adding people to your group but there is not networking or 2 way communication happening which is also called as "Social networking"

So you started getting engage with people reading their views and start interacting - That's was the day when you realize that you got how to build relationship by networking with others.

I hope with the above story, you understood the difference between Social Media vs. Social networking. Now let's cover some more details which can differentiate Social Media with Social Networking.

In social media the communication is one way - you created followers or friends that's all but in social networking the communication works both ways you have to engage people sometime with pull strategy - putting some good message and sometime with push strategy - communicating and giving your reviews on their post or photos or messages.

Social media represent channel of communication like what you choose to build your social media presence say for example : - You may find twitter is better for you or may be creating YouTube videos or may be Facebook. Whereas in Social networking you build relationship by getting engage in the communication.

Social networking compare to social media act as a communication platform with people that you choose.

Both Social Media and Social networking are two different terminologies having separate concepts. They both are used accordingly as per the business strategy

How to create great tweets

How best and great tweets are created

That question was always in my mind whenever i used to tweet. There are four parameters which create great and good tweets. We already covered various topics on twitter using some of them were how many characters you must use, best time to tweet and so on

What do you think before creating a tweet

How many people will read my tweet?
How many retweets i will get ?
How many people will engage in this communication ?
How many favorites ? and so on . .

So the answers to create great tweets lies in your questions. Remember first the number of people who will read your tweet is important they should be first engage to read your tweets therefore whenever you are creating tweets try to create something special think about a common man about your followers. Don't write what you want. some of the trick to create a great tweets are use famous quotes, ask for help, write tweets related to trending topics, or either create tweets which interests your followers. In my case blogging tips or social media networking news.

Great tweets are retweeted and Favorited by the followers and that may create trending topics on twitter. Remember to be a good user on twitter it does not depend on the number of followers you have. What matters is the target audience and the seriousness of your followers who will read and leave a special gesture interms of retweet or interaction.

Rs. 754 Crore loss Q2 - Kingfisher Airlines

754 was trending on twitter i though it might be for some price hike in some sector by the government of India but i was surprise to see that it was not any price hike but it was Kingfisher Airlines posts record Quarter 2 Net loss which is of Rs 754 Crore

There were moment or trends when topics such as Kingfisher, Vijay Mallaya trended on twitter because of the position of the company and staff protest. The Airline posted net loss of Rs 754 crore for the quarter of September and 469 crore a year before.

The company said it is preparing a comprehensive plan to restart the operations. Although the revenues decreased from 87%. KingfisherBSE shares are decreased or down by 39% this year closing at Rs 12. 8 where as in 2007 it was Rs 334

There are many doubts on Kingfisher would fly again in future since there is no concrete recovery plan. The company has a burden of debt which is more than Rs 7524 crore.

We hope everything get settled as Kingfisher to rise the wings higher to the sky.
