Social Media Mar­ket­ing and Cam­paigns are the main ser­vices, how­ever take a look at the fol­low­ing list of services:

I have always believed in con­struc­tive crit­i­cisms. Actu­ally they are a kind of feed­back I appre­ci­ate most after sin­cere congratulations.

To be hon­est I did not find any hint of con­struc­tive crit­i­cism in the com­ment I received about my social media projects from the panel of lec­tur­ers who attended my pre­sen­ta­tion.
On the con­trary it looked like a crit­i­cism meant to be a mere crit­i­cism with­out any hope in the hell of being help­ful to me. Con­tinue reading

I asked to a dear Ital­ian friend of mine and one of my uni­ver­sity class­mates, whom I know since 15 years, to give me a lit­tle help to spread the word about and to add some con­tent in Blomap, the online social net­work I have just launched.
My friend is a very nice and alive girl, a gifted PR and a jour­nal­ist work­ing at RAI, the Ital­ian pub­lic tele­vi­sion.
First issues she met in Italy is the fact that Blomap is in Eng­lish. Con­tinue reading

Affil­i­ate Mar­ket­ing is an entire chap­ter of Online Marketing.

Basi­cally there are affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing agen­cies which pro­vide affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing sys­tems every­one can join, such as Zanox and Trade Dou­bler , or even com­pa­nies whose affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing sys­tem any­one can join, Ama­zon or Ebay for exam­ple. Con­tinue reading

The feed­back I had for the 1st assign­ment of the Media Enter­prise Mod­ule at BCU was 58% which is not so bad, because very closed to 60% which means “Evi­dence of under­stand­ing key mod­ule con­cepts and top­ics; a devel­op­ing aware­ness of alter­na­tive posi­tions; a devel­op­ing skill of evi­den­tial rea­son­ing; com­pe­tent plan­ning & organ­i­sa­tion with minor lapses.” Con­tinue reading

The dream of all of us is to lose weight and at the same time to not lose our cheer­ful­ness by starv­ing and through depri­va­tion of our favorite food that obvi­ously helps us put on weight.

I have found my for­mula with­out any real inten­tion of find­ing it and I want to share it with you.

First off, you have to become a geek. There are many def­i­n­i­tions of geek and the one I like most is Con­tinue reading

I am devel­op­ing an exten­sive social media life ver­sus a social life and it is not as bad as many peo­ple think. Actu­ally I am shar­ing knowl­edge with a lot of peo­ple I have never met and trans­fer­ring knowl­edge to the same peo­ple + my friends. I enjoy it, I can­not with­hold it. Con­tinue reading

Last week we moved Blomap to a VPS solu­tion. What a night­mare, the set up of the plat­form Blomap is based on and the update of the data­base have been extremely com­pli­cated and the web­site went up and down con­tin­u­ously.
Well, my good hours were the hours when Blomap was up obvi­ously and the ter­ri­ble hours were when it was down. Con­tinue reading

The famous Ital­ian News­pa­per Repub­blica posed 10 ques­tions to Sil­vio Berlus­coni about his rela­tion­ship with a teen-ager. He decided not to answer.
It could be weird behav­ior on the part of the Ital­ian First Min­is­ter, though accept­able. What has been unac­cept­able is Berlusconi’s deci­sion to sue Repub­blica because of those 10 unan­swered ques­tions. Con­tinue reading

Dis­rup­tive tech­nol­ogy deliv­ers prod­ucts which should not be com­pul­sory tech­no­log­i­cal prod­ucts but just com­pletely new prod­ucts, break­ing into the scene of new mar­kets, being the turn­ing point of life styles and practices.

Pre­cisely, com­pa­nies engag­ing in dis­rup­tive tech­nol­ogy, are able to inves­ti­gate these new mar­kets and cap­ture the niche of cus­tomers who are expect­ing and are in need of that dis­rup­tive tech­nol­ogy. (source: The Innovator’s Dilemma, Chris­tensen, Clay­ton M.).

From that point on, that tech­nol­ogy has great pos­si­bil­i­ties to suc­ceed in the case that the owner com­pany is able to under­stand the laws which rule that tech­nol­ogy and apply them. Con­tinue reading

Open pub­lish­ing sys­tems such as Wikipedia and Indy­media state the suc­cess of het­er­ar­chy which is termed by Axel Bruns in Gate­watch­ing as “Rule by a diverse group, pre­vent­ing the emer­gence of a sin­gle per­son, group in con­trol or every­body (a hier­ar­chy, a monar­chy or a panar­chy).

Did Retweet fail to get the sense of Twit­ter by not pro­vid­ing any com­men­tary that users might like to add? Is that true?
It took me a while to under­stand what Retweet was, though not so long, after using it 3 times I I got the idea and find it much more cre­ative than the Tweet but­ton itself. Con­tinue reading
