I read a lot of business books – you know, the kind focused on how to market, or plan, or manage better. So, when I started to read Robin Sharma’s “ The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari ,&# I wasn’t sure what to expect. A couple of things to know about “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari&# : firstly, it’s essentially a self-help book; secondly, it’s written as a narrative, from the perspective of someone receiving advice from the aforementioned monk.

The Problem. I’ve been in pain for the last month. At first, the pain in my hand would come and go. Gradually, the pain moved to my wrist, up my arm and eventually to my shoulder. I spend too much time on the computer, there’s just no way around it. Between email, blogging, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, my fingers are constantly tap-tapping away.

With all that in our mind, we started hunting for the nearby restaurants in HSR Layout, Bangalore on zomato.com.

Tweet After having celebrated 1 year with the Facebook Like button, Facebook is ready with a new feature, namely the Send button, which was launched yesterday. The Send button lets you easily share a link with specific people instead of sharing it with your entire network, as you do with the Like button. Content may sometimes be more personal so that you may not be comfortable sharing it with your entire Facebook network.

I know that the comparisons between Facebook and Twitter are not justified. Facebook is really about developing deeper relationships with friends and family whereas Twitter is more about sharing and consuming information with people in a quick and easy fashion. There are other similarities but the fact is they are different. Their UI’s are pretty different.

When I queried why, he identified a few areas. I will now lay these out for you, and (as a Gen Y myself) rebut them: 1. Lack of work ethic. This is out-and-out wrong.

I think it is very interesting because the hardest part when talking about influence is framing the conversation right – as also stated by Social Fresh who made this slideshow. Some marketers still forget that it is a crucial element to be engaging and create dialogue, when wanting to build a relationship to your customers.

If you’ve watched TV lately, you may have spotted Wendy’s latest ad. In the spot, they make the claim that their new skin-on, natural (yet, higher calorie than the old ones) sea-salt fries are better than McDonald’s spuds. At the end of the clip, they’re gutsy enough to include a call to action, encouraging viewers to log on to Wendy’s Facebook fan page and post how great the new fries are.

There are too many places to find content, curate content, share content and consume content. There are too many places to have conversations, to read conversations and to lurk without having conversations.

As a blogger and an internet marketer, I sympathize with the efforts made to get guest posts on blogs in order to increase exposure, traffic, and rankings to your website. Recently, I have been doing a regular spot every Wednesday for a guest post. This way, my readers can get viewpoints outside of my own about blogging and social media, which I believe is important in getting the best information about anything that you do.
