How do you find the time for social media? This is the question I get asked probably more than any other.
I have four lovely children, a demanding job, a wife with a successful career and more. So how do I find the time to tweet, blog, share, and comment?
The answer is simple: I make the time for social media because I think it’s important.
I believe that business people in general, and marketers especially, have an obligation to do more than just consume content or share other people’s content, but to become a content creator and to contribute to your work and your life. Via Martin Gysler

Indeed, at the beginning the most things are difficult and need more time. After it's rather the mind set who dictate the invested time in social media, it's right, I agree with you Gemma. But in my sens the invested time is worth it because it create many very interesting contacts across the world.

We are living in a world where influence is migrating from offline to online.
The ability to influence is also moving from local to global. Its reach is also transitioning to mobile devices.
Reputation and influence can now be gained faster and reach further than in any other time in history.
One definition of Influence is “the capacity to have an effect on the character, development or behavior of someone or something”
To be truly successful you must have the ability and power to influence.

Do you manage a site that encourages people to create user accounts?
Are you looking for an easy way to tap the power of Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn to quickly create user identities?
If so, keep reading for my review of a social service that we used to quickly build up members of our Networking Clubs.
Why Social Login?
Once people login to their favorite social network, they generally don’t log out. Most people have a social account with one of the major social networks. This means their photograph and contact details are already registered elsewhere...

Though some forward-thinking businesses are already using Instagram, chances are you aren't yet, and neither are your competitors. With its universal appeal, however, Instagram is not a medium marketers should ignore. And you'd better move quickly if you want to make an impact. Via Martin Gysler

This excellent post says what we should know about Instagram and its use.
I wonder, too, if not everyone (who has an Instagram account) should read this post, because I think everyone can learn something interesting.
Let me know what is your opinion.

Three “facts” about social business are accepted without question by most people.
**any business with a Facebook page or Twitter account is considered “social”
**hiring a social media person constitutes a social “presence”
**implementing an intranet transforms the organization into a “collaborative” enterprise.
The Assessment
**What sense does it make to dive into social media without first recognizing where you are today?
Below is a chart that we’ve compiled based on over 80 recent discussions with executives from 60 organizations around the globe. **this is very useful

A great lesson in humility... I think this article touches the major problem of social media, too much blah blah and personal promotion and not enough real useful information for all. It's to each of us to finding the right ratio between the two... I have an idea about that, and you? [note mg] Why brands have this endless fascination with social media is one of the more fascinating phenomena in business today--especially since many are missing the one key ingredient that, if ignored, will turn their most choreographed efforts into social media hell. When it comes to branding and the ever-changing social media phenomenon, you’re not a mushroom. In other words, you shouldn’t be kept in the dark and fed a pile of...well, you get the idea. Every once in while, a certain business mania surfaces. As you saw in the video above, history is filled with these blips: The telephone. Radio. TV. The fax machine. The Internet. And now social media. Within social media, it splinters further--it seems like there’s always a shiny new network. Before Pinterest, there was Google Plus. Before Google Plus, well, you know the drill. And on and on. Read more: http://bit.ly/xJdwb5 Via Martin Gysler Delete the scoop?
