Learning the best social media etiquette for business owners, especially small businesses, is almost as hard as getting started with social media in the first place.
Jaana Nyström's insight:
The more sales oriented you are, the less human you become. In today’s world, that often equates to fewer sales or at least a poor long-term sales strategy. The more human you are, the less businesslike you become. If you forget about business in that existence, you will suffer as well. It takes one to fuel the other.

It's funny how, in the offline world, we always take care not to let people into our personal space. We lock our doors, close our windows and look after our personal belongings.
And yet in the online world, many people forget to do this and can sometimes be careless and leave their doors open for people them to enter and invade their personal space, play with their content and create havoc with their accounts...

If you're shopping for a cheap laptop, you should look long and hard at a Chromebook. Google's laptops may be "just a web browser," but they're cheap, fast, simple to use, and almost always as powerful as you need them to be. But there are good Chromebooks and bad Chromebooks - here's how to make sure you get the best one.
Jaana Nyström's insight:
I love my Samsung though it's a very basic Chromebook: It has replaced a tablet in mobile use.

Google+ Posts Are Web Pages
Wait, what?
Unlike Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn posts, Google+ posts are indexed in the search results just like websites. More over, they can be linked to, SEO’d and acquire authority of their own just like your website. This means you can get more SERP real-estate for your own online properties and take away from your competitors!

Are you having trouble signing in to YouTube or Blogger? If you created your channel or blog long ago, you may have even forgotten the email you used to sign in to the account. That can be quite frustrating, because that email address is your account's username.

Deep inside Google, a small team has been trying to solve a problem that's easy for any schmuck around the watercooler but frighteningly difficult for the world's most data-rich company: telling a story.

- The product is called Stories, and it takes photos users upload and automatically packages them up into narratives. Maybe that sounds easy, but that's because you're a human. Teaching a machine a sense of narrative and place isn't quite so easy, even using all of the information that Google knows about a user...
