To take two examples: people complain about an issue to an important newspaper prompting them to push the issue into the mainstream, or if a TV station covers an event, that becomes an important topic. Facebook, Myspace etc are just the start. Simply put, the new mass media helped organize, and influence, large numbers of consumers.

I think plurk is more for networking and twitter more for tweeting news/events/links. Reply Karl October 24, 2008 at 5:23 am I don’t know why social sites keep launching, isn’t myspace enough? It’s called social media marketing, not MySpace marketing. Plus, MySpace is not even really relevant to this article.

Don’t use a Facebook Group. You may find opportunities to host real life events, be them at conferences or whatever else. Why not invite your Facebook fans to a special event at your venue? Of over 1500 friends that I have, I’m constantly being pitched to join groups I have no interest in.

Many of them (more than half) were individuals I met at search conferences, but other conferences (SXSW, events that Mashable was involved in in the capacity of host or media sponsor, and the first IZEAFest) also represented my Industry connections. Some of these friends have mutual real-life friends (outside typical industry connections).

Personal accounts of everyday events is what made Dooce and the Bloggess so successful. A great example is how he provided a deep matrix into Google Buzz, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter just a few days after Buzz was launched. Go to local or national face-to-face events to meet other bloggers. How does one do this? So true.

We may never know why someone who (by her own claims on Google Groups) was pulling in $5,000/month via counseling fees, affiliate marketing programs, and essays posted to paying websites such as Squidoo, would risk it all in a scheme that only raised a few hundred dollars. There is a fine line in all of this.

It’s not enough to be insular and focus on your groups of friends. At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues. We may be slightly different versions of ourself when with each of these different groups. I created an additional account for people in that group.

Somehow, individuals forget along the way that costs accrue when considering the venue, food, exhibit hall, and the staff required on hand to run the event smoothly. And featured it in a big presentation I did at an event here, too — so, trying to give back! It’s an excellent book — thank you for writing it.

Still, it puts Facebook ahead of MySpace. Groups : Facebook Groups still exist, but I wouldn’t encourage using them unless you’re looking to maintain a fully closed and private community in the confines of the service. Normally, Groups exist to let people congregate around a common interest. birth certificate.

Abusing group invites. And if they don’t accept, don’t send the group request more than once by asking them to join via email, wall post, or Facebook message. In a specific case, I manage a few LinkedIn groups so my email address is far more visible on the site than I’d like. Many call this spam.
