The 6 R’s of Twitter

After getting inspired by a blog post of a great guy I know on twitter @DannyBrown who wrote about I’s of social media in his blog post Putting the I in Social Media.

Why Twitter and Blogging Go Hand in Hand

I don’t think that twitter will ever replace blogging or people will stop blogging because they are on twitter. I think twitter and blogging go hand in hand with one another. Twitter will always have that 140 characters limitation and I don’t think they will increase the number of characters because 140 is actually the ideal number and its enough.

The Zen Of Social Media Marketing by Shama Kabani [Book Review]

Finally I got hold of “The Zen Of Social Media Marketing“  by Shama Kabani. I found ONE copy which was sold in one of the top book stores in my state. The book attracted my attention. I look at the cover and it says “the last social media guide you’ll ever need.. with continuous online updates” i smiled and flip it over and read the summary of the book. After reading it, I bought it (I still have other books I’ve not read but I still bought this LoL)

How do you spam someone like a pro on facebook? I saw a spammer the other day who added me on facebook. “HER” name is Robert Kiyosaki and “she” sells get rich on facebook  stuff. I don’t know if it actually works but people are buying into it. I guess the main reason is the profile picture. A cute girl that teaches you how to get cash on facebook.

It’s quite funny because the name Robert Kiyosaki actually showed it was a fake profile. Moreover Robert Kiyosaki is a male.

Believe it or not, sex sells on facebook.

Is Someone Bullying You On Twitter?

Is someone bullying or harassing you on twitter? I was talking with someone and she mentioned about people who were rude to her on twitter and she wanted to de-activate her twitter account because she got really hurt by the remark. I told her that she shouldn’t quit twitter just because of a little bully who had too much time on his or her hands. We shouldn’t let people like this to influence us.

So what do you to with twitter bullies?
